HRC's Speech Thursday: " the connection between Republican Donald Trump & alt-right philosophy"

Washington Post reports:
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Thursday plans to deliver a speech on the connection between Republican Donald Trump’s campaign and the “disturbing ‘alt-right’ political philosophy,” a Clinton aide said.
The alt-right is named for the Alternative Right website that the “identitarian” nationalist Richard Spencer set up in 2010. It was adopted by those opposed to multiculturalism and mass immigration.


The Clinton aide said the “‘alt-right brand is embracing extremism and presenting a divisive and dystopian view of American which should concern all Americans, regardless of party.” Clinton will offer a very different vision, said the aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity to preview a speech that has not been formally announced.

Clinton is renewing her focus on small businesses, with an emphasis on those run by Latinos.

Here’s the press release:

As Hillary Clinton releases a plan to make life easier for small businesses at every step of the way, Hillary for America is launching a national voter registration effort, “Nuestros Negocios, Nuestra América” (Our businesses, Our America), led by Latino small business owners across the country. “Hillary recognizes that Latino small business owners are the bedrock of our neighborhoods and that’s why she tasked us to build a program that would empower them to mobilize Latinos to the polls. And Latino small business owners know that Hillary Clinton will have their backs as president,” stated Lorella Praeli, National Director of Latino Vote.
As part of ”Nuestros Negocios, Nuestra América,” the campaign is calling on Latino small business owners to help register voters in their communities and educate, engage, and activate Latino voters.
Small business owners will volunteer their spaces to host canvass kick-offs, debate watch-parties, round-table discussions or stage Get Out the Vote efforts. Throughout the week ”Nuestros Negocios, Nuestra América” will hold events across the country.

Snip
..what smart public policy can do to break those barriers down. Today, Hillary is releasing a plan to make life easier for small business at every step of the way. She will:
Make it easier to start a business and become profitable
Make it easier to get financing and find investors
Make it cheaper and faster to file taxes and provide tax relief
Make it easier to offer health care and other benefits to employees
Make it easier to work with the federal government
Make it easier to fight back when you’re getting stiffed
