Hillary Clinton is pressing her charges that Donald Trump is taking a "hate campaign mainstream," declaring the GOP nominee "courts" adherents of an "alt-right" movement that embraces racist ideology.
On her website, Clinton describes the "alternative right" movement — alt-right for short — as one fostering "anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, anti-multiculturalism, and anti-women rhetoric… a white supremacist movement, and one that Trump has not only refused to denounce — it's one he actively courts."
"Extremist supporters of this hate movement have happily found a candidate in Trump," her website declares.
Her campaign also released an ad last week featuring Ku Klux Klan leaders praising Trump.
But Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, has vehemently denied Trump's support of the new movement, despite its link to Breitbart News, run by Trump's campaign CEO Steve Bannon.
For his part, Trump, in an interview last week on CNN, dismissed the movement.
"This is a term that was just given," Trump said, according to a clip of the remarks posted by The Hill.
"There's no alt-right or alt-left. All that I'm embracing is common sense."
