U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said Saturday that her Republican rival Donald Trump was truly unfit to succeed President Barack Obama, linking herself to the two-time president’s legacy.
“We need ideas, not insults. Real plans to help struggling Americans in communities that have been left out and left behind — not prejudice and paranoia,” the former secretary of state said at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation gala in Washington, D.C. “We can’t let Barack Obama’s legacy fall into the hands of someone who doesn’t understand that.”
At the dinner, Clinton was also given the foundation's Trailblazer Award for becoming the first female presidential candidate for a major political party.
In the weeks before the November elections, Clinton is hoping to gain the confidence of the youth and minorities to secure a lead over Trump. The gala was the latest in the line of events that the former first lady has attended as a part of this attempt. Clinton attended a Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute event in Washington on Thursday and spoke to the Black Women’s Agenda Symposium on Friday — where she said that her Democratic nomination was possible only because of the support she received from African-American voters, the Wall Street Journal reported.
