Clinton Hammers Toomey While Tying Him to Trump

Hillary Clinton ripped Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) in a speech here in Pennsylvania, trying to link him to Donald Trump and a long list of Trump’s past incendiary statements, Politico reports.

Said Clinton: “He still refuses to stand up to Donald Trump. Now a lot of Republicans have. They have had the grit and the guts to stand up and say he does not represent me.”

She continued: “But Pat Toomey heard Donald attack a grieving Gold Star family who lost their son in the Iraq war. He heard Donald call Mexican immigrants rapists. He heard him say terrible things about women. He heard him spread the lie that our first black president wasn’t really born in America. Now how much more does Pat Toomey need to hear? If he doesn’t have the courage to stand up to Donald Trump after all this, then can you be sure he’ll stand up for you when it counts?”

Ruby Cramer: “It was the first time Clinton, who has been courting support from Republicans in the race against Donald Trump, has devoted a major part of her stump speech to a down-ballot GOP candidate.”
