During a speech at Trump SoHo in New York, N.Y., Donald Trump pummeled Hillary Clinton like never before seen in modern American politics. Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, prosecuted the case against Mrs. Clinton on three basic levels that included the Clinton Foundation, the email scandal and the failed policy in Libya, which resulted in a failed terrorist state and the murder of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.
Vowing to end the special interest monopoly in Washington, D.C., he called Mrs. Clinton “the most corrupt candidate to even seek the presidency of the United States.” He promised to fix a country that lost its way when it stopped putting “America First” in favor of a crony globalist system that enriches the likes of the Clintons to the detriment of the American worker.
“This election will decide whether we are ruled by the people, or by the politicians,” Mr. Trump said. “The other candidate in this race has spent her entire life making money for special interests – and taking money from special interests. Hillary Clinton has perfected the politics of personal profit and theft.”
At one point, he also took aim at her record in Libya and on immigration at one point read aloud the statements of the victims’ families from the Benghazi attack.
“No Secretary of State has been more wrong, more often, and in more places than Hillary Clinton. Her decisions spread death, destruction and terrorism everywhere she touched,” he said. “Among the victims is our late Ambassador, Chris Stevens. He was left helpless to die as Hillary Clinton soundly slept in her bed — that’s right, when the phone rang at 3 o’clock in the morning, she was sleeping.”
In fact, email records show that Mrs. Clinton’s aides could not reach her by phone or email until roughly 10:45 a.m. the next morning. When she finally responded, she admitted “I just woke up” and missed a would-be intelligence briefing. The former secretary of state, along with her longtime confident and then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, lied about the rescue efforts.
“She started the war that put him in Libya, denied him the security he asked for, then left him there to die,” Mr. Trump said. “To cover her tracks, Hillary lied about a video being the cause of his death.”
PPD has thoroughly reported on the email trail evidence, which conclusively comes down on the side of the victims’ families, unequivocally showing she lied to them about the video and other elements to the Benghazi terror attack at Andrews Air Force Base.
Meanwhile, the Clinton campaign and affiliated super PACs have already responded by simply claiming he was lying about her response to Benghazi. The Clinton campaign concedes that polling for their candidate has been disappointing, even as Mr. Trump slipped over the past few weeks. Mrs. Clinton they know is a known quantity in American politics yet consistently polls in the low to mid 40s. The plan has never been to inspire or convince the roughly 20% of undecided voters to go with her, but rather to make Mr. Trump unpalatable.
But his speech Wednesday could have the same impact on her among voters and is the beginning of a larger effort to prosecute the Clintons on a level they’ve never seen before. The campaign also recently announced the roll out of a new website LyingCrookedHillary.com, which will highlight Clinton’s lies to the American people over the years.
On immigration, he said Mrs. Clinton “put forward the most radical immigration platform in the history of the United States,” one which puts “each and every one of our lives in danger.” Indeed, the former secretary of state promised to unilaterally (via executive order) grant mass amnesty in her first 100 days and end federal immigration law enforcement, creating an open border in the United States.
“The first victims of her radical policies will be poor African-American and Hispanic workers who need jobs,” he said. “They are the ones she will hurt the most.”
Turning his attention to the terror attack in Orlando and his proposal to temporarily ban immigration from Muslim countries with high risk of terrorism, Mr. Trump pointed out the internal contradiction within the Democratic Party relating to so-called women’s rights, gay rights and Islamic apologists.
“I only want to admit people who share our values and love our people. Hillary Clinton wants to bring in people who believe women should be enslaved and gays put to death,” he said. “Maybe her motivation lies among the more than 1,000 foreign donations Hillary failed to disclose while at the State Department.”
He then shared a letter the campaign received from one Mary Ann Mendoza, who lost her son, Police Sergeant Brandon Mendoza, after he was killed by an illegal immigrant because of the open borders policies supported by Mrs. Clinton.
Hillary Clinton, who already has the blood of so many on her hands, is now announcing that she is willing to put each and every one of our lives in harms’ way – an open door policy to criminals and terrorists to enter our country. Hillary is not concerned about you or I, she is only concerned about the power the presidency would bring to her. She needs to go to prison to pay for the crimes she has already committed against this country.
The Mendoza family is just one of many Mr. Trump has showcased over the primary season and just one of literally thousands who have such a tragic story.
“Her campaign slogan is ‘I’m with her.’ You know what my response to that is?” Trump asked. “I’m with you: the American people.”
