New
TV Ad “America’s
Bully” Decries Trump’s Bluster and
Bigotry
Today, Hillary for America is releasing a powerful new TV ad, “America’s Bully,” exposing the countless times Donald Trump has teared down and intimidated others with his hateful rhetoric. Trump has publicly insulted women, news organizations, individuals with disabilities, and the American people. In stark contrast, Hillary Clinton has pledged to stand up to bullies like Trump and will work to move our country forward. As Clinton said on Friday, “Everything we care about is at risk, if you can help me to have the kind of victory we need, that stands as a rebuke of all the bigotry and bullying we’ve seen, then together, together we will build the future that all of us, particularly the children of our country, deserve to have.”
