Clinton takes aim at Trump over KKK stumble

March 02, 2016 03:25

Hillary Clinton on Super Tuesday took aim at Donald Trump for not immediately repudiating former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.

"I'm just speaking out against bigotry and bullying wherever I hear it. And I hear a lot of it from the Republican candidates. They seem to have forgotten completely about issues and they're now running their campaigns based on insults," Clinton said, taking questions from reporters. "It's turned into a kind of one-upmanship on insulting and I don't think that's appropriate in a presidential campaign, and I'm going to speak up on it."

The Democratic front-runner said that while Trump is doing well, she will "wait and see who they nominate."

But she also took aim at Trump for stumbling when asked Sunday by CNN's Jake Tapper to disavow support he has received from Duke, though he has since done so.

"I was very disappointed that he did not disavow what appears to be support from David Duke and the Klan," Clinton said. "That is exactly the kind of statement that should be repudiated upon hearing it."
