Hillary Clinton joins labor protest outside of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas


Hillary Clinton spent the evening before the first Democratic presidential debate at a labor protest outside of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, where she called on Republican frontrunner Donald Trump to "represent all the people of the United States."
The Trump International Hotel is just across from the Wynn, where CNN's debate will be held Tuesday. The protest was organized by Culinary Workers Union Local 226, which wants Trump to let workers at the hotel unionize. Clinton's appearance was a surprise, and she told the union members — who chanted "Vegas is a union town!" and carried signs that said "No Contract! No Peace!" — that they have to say no to "efforts to prevent you from organizing, to prevent you from having the kind of working conditions you deserve, the kind of wages that are going to give you a living wage. And that means saying no to Donald Trump."
Clinton also brought up the notion that everything Trump does is "entertaining," The Huffington Post reports. "But I don't think it's entertaining when somebody insults immigrants, insults women," she said. "That is just unacceptable behavior. When we're here together in solidarity to organize, we also want to send a message to Mr. Trump: That if you're going to run for president, then you should represent all the people of the United States, and that includes hard-working people."
