"It could not be clearer how much African-Americans have to lose under Donald Trump," Marlon Marshall, Clinton's director of state campaigns and political engagement, said in a statement.

"He is doubling down on insults, fear and stereotypes that set our community back and further divide our country."

In the statement, Marshall noted Trump's behavior isn't "surprising," citing past actions by the Republican nominee.

"This is a man who questions the citizenship of the first African-American president, has a disturbing pattern of courting white supremacists, and has been sued for housing discrimination against communities of color," Marshall said.

Trump at a rally Monday asked the African-American community what it had to lose by supporting a Trump candidacy — similar comments to what he said at a rally last week.

"You're living in poverty. Your schools are no good. You have no jobs," Trump said Monday during an Ohio rally.

"You could go to war zones in countries that we’re fighting and it’s safer than living in some of our inner cities that are run by the Democrats," he continued.

"I ask you this. Crime. All of the problems. To the African-Americans who I employ so many — so many people. ... What the hell do you have to lose? ... You'll be able to walk down the street without getting shot. Right now, you walk down the street. You get shot."

The Clinton campaign painted Trump as unqualified to be president, given his rhetoric.

"We cannot afford this out of touch and divisive thinking in the White House," Marshall said, "which is why we must take nothing for granted and work as hard as we can to make sure Hillary Clinton is our next president."
