WEST BEND, Wis. — Donald Trump called Hillary Clinton a bigot in a speech Tuesday night and accused his Democratic rival for the presidency of pandering to “communities of color.”
“We reject the bigotry of Hillary Clinton, which panders to and talks down to communities of color and sees them only as votes,” Trump said. “That’s all they care about. Not as individual human beings, worthy of a better future. They have taken advantage.”
In West Bend, in a packed building on a fairgrounds, Trump made his most distinct pitch to African-Americans to date, titling the speech “Creating a New and Better Future For America’s Inner Cities.”
“The Democratic Party has taken the votes of African-American for granted,” Trump said. “They’ve just assumed they’ll get your support and done nothing in return for it. They’ve taken advantage of the African-American citizen.”
Trump also stated that Clinton’s stance is harmful to law enforcement.
“Just like Hillary Clinton is against the miners, she is against the police,” Trump said. “Believe me. You know it and I know it and guess what? She knows it.”
“So how are we serving these American victims by attacking law enforcement officers?” he continued. “The war on our police must end and it must end now.”
Trump said he would renegotiate existing trade agreements and withdraw the United States from the Transpacific Partnership.
He would repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act and “stand up to China.” He said his administration would make the U.S. “wealthy” again by keeping companies from taking their manufacturing abroad, increasing wages and securing the border.
