Warning that presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump is an "urgent threat to our rights and to our country," Hillary Clinton on Thursday sounded a similar note to the one expressed by liberal firebrand Sen. Elizabeth Warren earlier this week.

"Two years ago Donald Trump personally signed a contract with a union-busting firm to break up Unite Here’s organizing campaign at his hotel in Las Vegas," Clinton said at the UFCW conference in the city where workers at Trump's hotel voted to unionize. "I was proud to join those workers on the picket line last fall, and I’m even prouder because they overcame Trump’s intimidation campaign and were officially certified as a union this year.”


During a fiery speech Tuesday night, Warren denounced Trump as “a small, insecure, money grubber” who poses an "urgent threat" to the United States. For its part, the Clinton campaign has brushed off any similarities in rhetoric between Clinton and Warren, who has not publicly endorsed either of the two remaining Democratic candidates.
