Clinton: Trump appealing to ‘paranoia and prejudice’

Hillary Clinton on Tuesday accused Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump of appealing to the “paranoia and prejudice” of downtrodden Americans frustrated by stagnant wage growth.

Speaking to The Des Moines Register’s editorial board, Clinton explained that she believes stagnant wages for middle-class workers is one of the most pressing issues facing the nation and accused Trump of seeking to feed off the fears the stagnation has provoked.

“Mr. Trump and his outrageous appeals to paranoia and prejudice — he gets some of the reaction he does in part because people are genuinely worried and anxious and looking for answers,” Clinton said.
