Trump campaign blasts Clinton KKK video as 'disgusting new low'

An evangelical pastor who spoke at the Republican National Convention and has close ties to Donald Trump's presidential campaign said Thursday that Hillary Clinton "went to a disgusting new low" by releasing a video tying Trump to Ku Klux Klan members and other white supremacists.

The video, released Wednesday morning by Clinton, quotes a KKK imperial wizard saying "the reason a lot of Klan members like Donald Trump is because a lot of what he believes, we believe in." It also attacks Trump's newly hired campaign CEO, Steve Bannon, formerly of Breitbart News, as a representative of the so-called "alt-right" movement, which the video labels as "the sort of dressed-up-in-suits version of the neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements."

"Hillary Clinton and her campaign went to a disgusting new low today as they released a video tying the Trump Campaign with horrific racial images," pastor Mark Burns said in a statement emailed out Thursday by the Trump campaign. "This type of rhetoric and repulsive advertising is revolting and completely beyond the pale. I call on Hillary Clinton to disavow this video and her campaign for this sickening act that has no place in our world."

The Clinton campaign's video arrives on the same day the former secretary of state is expected to deliver a speech in Reno, Nevada, tying Trump to the "alt-right" movement.
