A fundraising email from the Hillary Clinton campaign Wednesday compared New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s remarks that Hillary is a criminal to a “witch hunt.”
“Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey (and a possible attorney general if Trump wins), stood on stage and accused Hillary of being a criminal, bellowing ‘GUILTY’ over and over again as the crowd egged him on,” Christina Reynolds, deputy communications director, wrote. “He had the entire arena chanting “lock her up” — a cry that has become the mantra of the RNC.”
Reynolds went on to write, “if you closed your eyes, you could imagine it being a lot like a witch trial — they were barely one step removed from screaming ‘burn her at the stake.'”
She called this “a dark turning point in American politics — a sign that our nation is on the brink of something dangerous that we might not recover from.” On Tuesday, the Clinton campaign heavily connected Donald Trump to white supremacy.
