Of Trump she said, “To be here, in this state Capitol, in this room where Abraham Lincoln gave that speech about ‘a house divided’ and to see that someone who is vying to be president of the United States is using divisiveness, is stoking fear, is pointing fingers, scapegoating against all kinds of people, I think is so dangerous.” You can watch clips from the town hall at the following links: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4.

We need everyone to reach out and help everyone, and I don’t believe we do that by insulting everyone, by dividing us against them.”
