"Donald Trump is talking about issues; Hillary Clinton is talking about Donald Trump," Conway said in a statement released by the Trump campaign.

"We’re living in her head rent-free, and that must terrify the political insiders who want to keep things exactly the way they are," Conway added.

Conway accused the Democratic nominee of having "lied about Donald Trump" during her speech Thursday that blasted the real estate mogul on race.

Clinton lamented that Trump's campaign was a takeover of the GOP by a "radical fringe," discussing white nationalists supportive of Trump and his embrace of controversial figures.

The former first lady went after Trump for naming Stephen Bannon, from the far-right Breitbart website, as his campaign chief last week and for other controversies this year involving Trump and race.

She also dredged up the billionaire's embrace of the "birther" movement that questions President Obama's citizenship to slam the businessman, among other examples.

“A man with a long history of racial discrimination, who traffics in dark conspiracy theories drawn from the pages of supermarket tabloids and the far reaches of the internet, should never run our government or command our military,” Clinton said.

Trump and Clinton have escalated their rhetorical attacks on each other in recent days, with Trump calling Clinton a " bigot " who sees African-Americans and Hispanics as votes and Clinton accusing Trump of " taking a hate movement mainstream ."

Clinton has led Trump in national and battleground state polls this month, though Trump has sought to cut into her lead with a series of scripted speeches aimed at minority voters the past two weeks.
