Hillary Clinton on Monday night railed against Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick, saying the two Republicans would hurt education in America.
Speaking at an American Federation of Teachers event in Minneapolis at the same time as the first night of the Republican National Convention, Clinton knocked Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, for previously saying that the Department of Education "can be largely eliminated."
"Donald Trump would leave our most vulnerable students to fend for themselves," Clinton said.
The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee also took aim at his running mate, Mike Pence, saying the Indiana governor is "one of most extreme vice presidential picks in a generation."
"Neither Mike Pence or Donald Trump should be near any of our children’s education," she said.
The former secretary of State also noted in her speech her support for affordable child care and universal preschool and vowed to always give the education union "a seat at the table."
Clinton spent the earlier part of the day campaigning in Cincinnati, first addressing the NAACP’s convention and later talking at an event where she and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) encouraged supporters to go out and vote.
Her events coincided with the first day of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
Democrats will meet for their own nominating convention next week in Philadelphia, where Clinton will officially become the party’s presidential nominee.
Can’t wait until this BITCH ON WHEELS is at the mercy of a DOJ run by the hard right.
ALL of these scumbags are going to pay for their crimes.
All the Clintoon Clowns have left is FEAR. That’s it.
After 100 nude women showed up at the RNC for a protest, I heard rumors that Bill was switching parties.
This is the FIRST time an opponent campaigned during the other convention. She is nasty. I am kind of glad because it gives freedom to Trump during her convention.
Democrats LOVE pouring education dollars down the drain.....
Guess what? We moved from Maryland to Florida.....Maryland Property Taxes were 1100 a year....Florida 2700. I was a dinner with some friends from Illinois, New Jersey, and other places up north...........They think the schools stink in Florida (they don’t when you send them to Catholic school.....lol) Well anyway they said a nugget that made me spit out my soda.........they complained about how low the property taxes were and they should be doubled so the school had better schools. I said, “why on Earth did you leave your state?”.....weather of course was the reason, but they are going to ruin Florida.
They were not black
Whoa!!!!
Translation: Under Trump, it won't matter if you're White, Black or other, if you won't do the work to earn an education, you won't be coddled and passed just because you're an absolute gem of an underprivileged (under-performing) lazy slob who feels entitled because they showed up - kind of and once in a while.
Hillary is in trouble if she needs to shore up her teacher's union base in Minnesota. While Trump speaks to all of America, Hillary talks at the union goons.
