Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton is running "the most racist" presidential race in modern history, former New York lieutenant governor Betsy McCaughey charges.
In remarks Friday to "Newsmax Prime" host J.D. Hayworth on
Newsmax TV, McCaughey says Clinton "stokes up racial animosity, racial distrust.
"And in every campaign stop she delivers the same message," McCaughey said. "She says African-Americans are victims of systemic racism in this country and she attributes the high incarceration rates of blacks, the school discipline rates of blacks, to systemic racism."
"Hillary is running the most racist campaign of any presidential candidate in modern history," she charged.

McCaughey also said Hillary Clinton's stance is "why her husband is getting beaten up on the campaign trial," referring to protesters who confronted Bill Clinton in Philadelphia on Thursday — and
his angry response.
"She's doing it — dividing this country and making black Americans unjustifiably angry," McCaughey said.
But Michael Reagan disagrees, saying Bill Clinton's defense of his wife has "a lot of people applauding him."
"If [Donald] Trump would've said that or any one of those running for president on [the Republican] side would've said that, they'd be taken to the cleaners by everybody on the planet," he said. "But Bill Clinton, the 'first black president,' said it and therefore people do listen because what he said was absolutely true."
McCaughey also dismissed the idea any other candidate — including the esteemed retired
Gen. James Mattis — besides Donald Trump, Gov. John Kasich or Texas Sen. Ted Cruz being nominated by the RNC.
"For anyone to run now is manic. It would be manic Mattis," she said. "If the Republicans don't choose one of the leading contenders, Trump or Cruz — it should be the person who has the most votes, right? — Republicans all across this country will be up in arms."
"It's pathetic that these insurgent Republicans, these establishment Republicans who are rejecting the will of the people are still looking for some third candidate," she said
