Clinton attacks Trump's outreach to black voters in new ad

August 26, 2016 23:05

Democrat Hillary Clinton called on Friday for voters to reject what she called the "bigotry" of Donald Trump's White House campaign, releasing a television ad criticising his efforts to appeal to black voters.

According to a Reuters report Clinton said Trump was reaching out to people from all parties who are troubled by his candidacy.

The ad shows video of Trump's controversial pitch to black voters, in which the Republican candidate urges them to support him by asking,

"What do you have to lose?" It also shows headlines about a racial discrimination lawsuit the New York real estate mogul faced in the 1970s.

Clinton's presidential campaign said the ad, released a day after she gave a speech accusing Trump of fueling America's "radical fringe," would air in the hotly contested states of Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Her campaign also said on Friday that President Barack Obama will appear in Pennsylvania on September 13 to promote her candidacy.

Clinton followed up her tough speech by saying on Friday that Trump's temperament and divisiveness made him unfit for the White House.
