Hillary Clinton rebuked her Republican rival Donald Trump Thursday evening for refusing to say President Obama was born in America, describing it as just another example of his divisive and racist rhetoric.
Speaking from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute gala in Washington, D.C., Clinton looked to remind Latino voters of the controversial remarks Trump has made about minorities during his campaign.
“He was asked one more time where was President Obama born, and he still wouldn’t say Hawaii. He still wouldn’t say America,” Clinton said.“This man wants to be our next president. When will he stop this ugliness, this bigotry? He’s tried to reset himself and his campaign many times. This is the best he can do. This is who he is.”
Clinton was referring to an interview Trump did with the Washington Post published Thursday in which he declined to say if he believed Obama was born in the U.S., despite several top surrogates claiming he felt differently in recent interviews.
“I just don’t want to answer it yet,” Trump said.
But the examples of racism don’t stop there, Clinton said.
“Everywhere I go, people tell me how concerned they are by the extreme policies and divisive rhetoric they’ve heard from my opponent. From the racist lie about Mexican immigrants that launched his campaign to his racist attack on a federal judge,” Clinton said.
