Over the past week, Hillary for America has released a series of videos, many of which go after Donald Trump for his policies and gaffes. One video, titled “Trump’s Bad Week,” only covers events from the week of August 1. Other videos released include a review of Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine’s post-convention bus tour and a behind the scenes look at the Democratic National Convention. Several of the videos are embedded into this post. For all the latest videos, be sure to follow Hillary for America and The Briefing on YouTube.
On Sunday, Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine wrapped up their jobs focused bus tour in Ohio. Although it was initially reported that Clinton would not appear in Cleveland, Clinton did make a stop in the city and spoke during Sunday services at Imani Temple Ministry. During her brief remarks, Clinton spoke about the promise of America and her plans to defend the American dream. A video of her address is below (I apologize for the poor audio).
Clinton and Kaine’s final event of the bus tour was a rally in Columbus. Kaine and Clinton both continued to focus their remarks on her jobs plan and improvements to the infrastructure; however, Clinton did address comments made by Donald Trump about retired General John Allen and Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of a Muslim American solder killed in 2004. Clinton said that she was disgusted by Trump’s divisive language saying, “It’s going to be up to all of us to repudiate the hatefulness, attacks on distinguished military leaders … or insulting the family of a fallen soldier, Captain Khan, an American Muslim who sacrificed his life to protect his unit and other soldiers.” A video from the event is below.
Following the Democratic National Convention, Hillary Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine hit the road for a bus tour through Pennsylvania and Ohio. They kicked off the tour down the street from the Convention hall at Temple University. During her speech, Clinton argued that while her nomination is historic, it demonstrates the potential of America. She said that while no one in the time of the founding of the country would have imagined a woman presidential nominee, she believes that what makes America great is that significant events lead to new opportunities for everyone. Clinton said, “But contrary to Donald Trump, I believe every time we knock down a barrier in America, it liberates everyone in America.” A video of her speech is below.
The bus tour continued with a stop in Montgomery County and a tour of a K’nex factory, and she briefly spoke to the employees about her plan to boost manufacturing. Clinton and Kaine then traveled to Harrisburg where they continued to speak about Clinton’s plan to improve the nation’s infrastructure and create millions of jobs in the process. She said that the plan would be the largest jobs plan since World War II, and she pledged to introduce the plan to Congress during her first 100 days in office. Videos from the events in the Harrisburg area are below.
On Tuesday, Hillary Clinton traveled to Montgomery, Alabama to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. At the event hosted by the National Bar Association, Clinton honored Rosa Parks and the spirit of the protesters who brought an end to segregation on the Montgomery public transit system. But, Clinton said that the work of they began 60 years ago is not yet finished. The Supreme Court’s ruling to dismantle the Voting Rights Act and Alabama’s voter ID law and others like it have made it more difficult for black voters. Speaking at the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, the church where Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. preached for six years, Clinton said, “Even as we celebrate all that our country has achieved in the past 60 years. We must in keeping with the legacy of those who have gone before look to the future and the work that is left to do.” A full video of Clinton’s speech is below.
Clinton then traveled to Florida where she attended a private fundraiser in Miami Beach hosted by Dawn McCall and Gail Williams. As with all private fundraisers, the event was closed to the press.
Tomorrow, Clinton will remain in Florida where she is scheduled to attend several fundraisers and a grassroots organizing event in Orlando. For all the latest, follow our Scheduled Events page and follow Clinton on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
