Robert
Kidder: This factory has been here since 1883. We
have over 60 people here making shirts labeled "Made in America."
But Donald Trump's brand of shirts come from
China, his suits from Mexico, his coats from India.
Trump's products have been made in 12 other
countries because he says there's no place in America that he can make
them.
Well there is.
You know Donald Trump says he'll make America
great again while he's taking the shirts right off our backs.

In New Ad, U.S. Shirtmaker
Criticizes Trump for Outsourcing Jobs, Making Products Overseas
Small Business Owner: 'Trump
Says He'll Make America Great Again While He's Taking the Shirts Right
Off Our Backs'
A new Hillary for America television ad set to air this week features a
Massachusetts shirt manufacturer who employs more than 60 people
criticizing Donald Trump for outsourcing jobs to make his products,
including shirts, abroad. In the ad, Robert Kidder, the owner of New
England Shirt Company in Fall River, says, "This factory has been here
since 1883. We have over 60 people here making shirts labeled 'Made in
America,' but Donald Trump's brand of shirts come from China, his suits
from Mexico, his coats from India." Going back to the colonial era,
Fall River, Mass., has been central to America's textile industry, and
the New England Shirt Company remains the oldest operating
ready-to-wear shirt manufacturer in America.
The ad, 'Shirts,' joins a previously released ad, "Some Place," in
spotlighting Trump's long history of making Trump-branded products
outside of America as part of a concerted effort over the past month to
contrast Trump's hypocritical business record with Hillary Clinton's
agenda to make the economy work for everyone, not just those at the
top. The new ad follows Clinton's announcement Tuesday of new plans to
jumpstart small business startups and strengthen small business growth.
Kidder, the small business owner, closes the new ad, "Donald Trump says
he'll 'make America great again' while he's taking the shirts right off
our backs."
The 30-second ad is a part of the campaign's previously
announced broadcast buy in Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North
Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Clinton will make the largest investment in job creation
since World War II in her first 100 days in office and has proposed a
comprehensive "Make It In America" strategy to boost U.S. manufacturing
and crack down on corporations that ship jobs overseas.
