WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton is calling Donald Trump’s effort to appeal to black voters “ignorant.”
At a rally Friday in Dimondale, Michigan, Trump called on African-American voters to give him a shot at the presidency, asking, “What do you lose by trying something new like Trump?”
Trump argues that many black people are living in poverty, with poor schools and few jobs, in spite of supporting Democratic politicians for decades.
Clinton’s Twitter account is linking to an excerpt from Trump’s speech and says, “This is so ignorant it’s staggering.”
Trump has made several appeals to the demographic this week, despite his dismal standing in the polls among black voters.
