A few minutes before Hillary Clinton was scheduled to deliver a speech on the so-called “alt-right” political movement, which has formed much of Trump’s base since the beginning of his campaign, Donald Trump issued a pre-buttal disputing charges that he and his supporters are "racists."



In a campaign ad earlier today, Clinton's campaign labeled the alt-right as white supremacists, neo-Nazis and KKK sympathizers.



"It’s the oldest play in the Democratic playbook," Trump said at an event in New Hampshire. "The news reports are that Hillary Clinton is going to try to accuse this campaign, and the millions of decent Americans who support this campaign, of being racists."

"I have not seen Hillary Clinton’s remarks," he said about Clinton's speech. "And, in a sense, I don’t want to dignify them by dwelling on them too much, but a response is required for the sake of all decent voters she is trying to smear."



While he was speaking, the Clinton campaign tweeted this:



America has a lot to lose by electing Trump. But there’s one group in particular who has everything to gain. https://t.co/A6DFHnMOjd — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) August 25, 2016

Hillary Clinton has been in hiding.



But today, she emerges. However, she is emerging not to take responsibility for her unethical and criminal conduct, but instead to make one of the most brazen attempts at distraction in the history of politics.



Now, I have not seen Hillary Clinton’s remarks. And, in a sense, I don’t want to dignify them by dwelling on them too much, but a response is required for the sake of all decent voters she is trying to smear.



The news reports are that Hillary Clinton is going to try to accuse this campaign, and the millions of decent Americans who support this campaign, of being racists.



It’s the oldest play in the Democratic playbook.



When Democratic policies fail, they are left with only this one tired argument. It’s the last refuge of the discredited politician.



They keep going back to this same well, but the well has run dry.



This is the year that the people who have been betrayed by Democratic policies, including millions of African-American and Hispanic-American citizens, reject the politicians who have failed them and vote for change.



As I’ve discussed for many days now, Democratic politicians have run nearly every inner city in America for fifty or sixty years or more. Their policies have produced only more poverty, joblessness, and failing schools.



Every policy Hillary Clinton supports is a policy that has failed and betrayed communities of color in this country. But she just doesn’t care – she’s too busy raking in cash from the people rigging the system.



Nearly 4 in 10 African-American children live in poverty. 58% of African-American youth are not working. More than 2,700 people have been shot in Chicago this year alone.



These are the consequences of Hillary Clinton’s policies. She has brought nothing but pain and heartache to our inner cities.



On top of that, she wants to raise taxes on African-American owned businesses to as much as nearly 50 percent. We should be helping these businesses to grow and expand – but Hillary Clinton is trying to shut them down.



She opposes school choice.



She supports open borders that violate the civil rights of African-Americans by giving their jobs to people here unlawfully.



She supports trade policies that have closed factories in African-American communities and put millions of African-Americans out of work.



She supports radical regulations that put Americans out of work and raise the price of their energy bills.



She supports policies on crime that make communities less safe, and that make it harder to raise your children in security and peace.



I believe every single parent in this country – and especially in the inner cities – has the right to raise their kids in safety. This is one of the great civil rights issues of our time.



But Hillary Clinton doesn’t want to talk about any of this.

"When Democratic policies fail, they are left with only this one tired argument. It’s the last refuge of the discredited politician. They keep going back to this same well, but the well has run dry," he continued."This is the year that the people who have been betrayed by Democratic policies, including millions of African-American and Hispanic-American citizens, reject the politicians who have failed them and vote for change," he also said.Transcript (as prepared):
