Clinton addressed the Michigan Democratic Party in Detroit and condemned her Republican rivals for the personal attacks that have consumed the GOP primary.

“We have allowed our politics to be hijacked by extreme ideologues,” Clinton said.

"We all know the stakes keep getting higher, and the rhetoric we’re hearing from other side just keeps sinking lower," she continued, referencing Thursday's GOP debate when Donald Trump Donald John TrumpHR McMaster says president's policy to withdraw troops from Afghanistan is 'unwise' Cast of 'Parks and Rec' reunite for virtual town hall to address Wisconsin voters Biden says Trump should step down over coronavirus response MORE, Marco Rubio Marco Antonio RubioFlorida senators pushing to keep Daylight Savings Time during pandemic Hillicon Valley: DOJ indicts Chinese, Malaysian hackers accused of targeting over 100 organizations | GOP senators raise concerns over Oracle-TikTok deal | QAnon awareness jumps in new poll Intelligence chief says Congress will get some in-person election security briefings MORE and Ted Cruz Rafael (Ted) Edward CruzLoeffler calls for hearing in wake of Netflix's 'Cuties' Health care in the crosshairs with new Trump Supreme Court list 'Parks and Rec' cast members hosting special reunion to raise money for Wisconsin Democrats MORE tangled in multiple spats.

“Instead of building walls, we’re going to be knocking down barriers and building ladders of opportunity and empowerment so every American can live up to his or her potential,” she said.

Clinton’s remarks come after Sanders landed victories in both the Kansas and Nebraska caucuses and the former secretary of State racked up a win in Louisiana.

The Vermont senator was expected to have a strong night and spent a considerable amount of time and resources ahead of Kansas and Nebraska and appeared on the air in those states.

Clinton briefly acknowledged the Super Saturday contests and then quickly pivoted to the upcoming primary in delegate-rich Michigan.

“I want to congratulate Sen. Sanders for running a strong campaign,” Clinton said.

“I am thrilled we’re adding to our pledged delegate count, I’m grateful to everyone who turned out to support us,” she added.

Clinton and Sanders will square off in a Democratic debate in Flint, Mich., on Sunday, two days ahead of the primary there.

Sanders is making a play for Michigan and outspent Clinton on TV ads in the Great Lakes State, according to the Detroit News. Still, recent polls show him trailing behind Clinton in the double digits.

“But now all eyes turn to Michigan and I can tell you this, we’re going to work for every vote,” she said.
