Hillary Clinton's campaign responded to Donald Trump's acceptance speech, slamming the lack of solutions and saying he offered only "prejudice and paranoia."
"Tonight, Donald Trump painted a dark picture of an America in decline. And his answer — more fear, more division, more anger, more hate — was yet another reminder that he is temperamentally unfit and totally unqualified to be president of the United States," John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chairman, said in a statement, according to
The Hill.
"He offered no real solutions to help working families get ahead or to keep our country safe, just more prejudice and paranoia. America is better than this. America is better than Donald Trump," Podesta said.
"Next week in Philadelphia, Democrats will focus on issues, not anger. We'll offer a positive vision for the future based on lifting America up, not tearing Americans down."
Clinton supporter and possible running mate Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts said Trump sounded like "some two-bit dictator of some country that you couldn't find on a map," while appearing on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," according to the
Washington Examiner.
"I want to defend him a second," Colbert responded sarcastically. "He's not a two-bit dictator; he sounded like a billionaire dictator. Two bits is insulting to the man."
"He sounded like a dictator of a small country rather than a man who is running for the highest office of the strongest democracy on the face of this Earth. That's what he sounded like," Warren replied.
