Clinton shared an article from The Kansas City Star about the widow of Srinivas Kuchibhotla, who was shot to death in an Olathe, Kan., bar.

During a news conference, the woman called for answers on how to end hate crimes in the country.

“I have a question in my mind: Do we belong?” said Sunayana Dumala, who, along with her husband, traveled from India to attend college in the U.S., according to the Star. “I need an answer,” she said. “I need an answer from the government. ... What are they going to do to stop this hate crime?”

In a tweet earlier this month, Clinton also said the president needed to speak out about incidents occurring across the country.

"JCC threats, cemetery desecration & online attacks are so troubling & they need to be stopped," Clinton tweeted earlier this month. "Everyone must speak out, starting w/ @POTUS."





Last week, Trump denounced anti-Semitism after coming under pressure to address an uptick in hateful incidents targeting Jewish institutions across the U.S.
