After Hillary Clinton accepted the Democratic nomination for president Thursday night, an advisor for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump slammed the former secretary of state's speech as "an insulting collection of cliches and recycled rhetoric."
"She spent the evening talking down to the American people (who) she's looked down on her whole life," Trump senior policy advisor Stephen Miller said in a statement late Thursday. "Her globalist agenda denies American citizens the protections to which they are all entitled – tearing us apart."
Clinton spoke for about an hour Thursday night, and multiple times she focused on the differences between Trump and herself, painting Trump as a hypocritical man with a hair-trigger and little knowledge of world politics.
"Donald Trump can't even handle the rough-and-tumble of a presidential campaign," she said. "He loses his cool at the slightest provocation -- when he's gotten a tough question from a reporter, when he's challenged in a debate, when he sees a protester at a rally. Imagine him in the Oval Office facing a real crisis. A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons."
Miller called the speech one "delivered from a fantasy universe, not the reality we live in today."
Read Miller's full statement:
"Hillary Clinton talks about unity, about E Pluribus Unum, but her globalist agenda denies American citizens the protections to which they are all entitled – tearing us apart. Her radical amnesty plan will take jobs, resources and benefits from the most vulnerable citizens of the United States and give them to the citizens of other countries. Her refusal to even say the words 'Radical Islam', or to mention her disaster in Libya, or her corrupt email scheme, all show how little she cares about the safety of the American people.
"It's a speech delivered from a fantasy universe, not the reality we live in today.
"Hillary Clinton says America is stronger together. But in Hillary Clinton's America, millions of people are left out in the cold. She only stands together with the donors and special interests who've bankrolled her entire life. Excluded from Hillary Clinton's America are the suffering people living in our inner cities, or the victims of open borders and drug cartels, or the people who've lost their jobs because of the Clintons' trade deals, or any hardworking person who doesn't have enough money to get a seat at Hillary Clinton's table."
