Hillary Clinton on Donald Trump: 'I no longer think he's funny'
On Thursday's Late Night, Seth Meyers asked Hillary Clinton about Donald Trump, starting with a stab at lightheartedness: "Have you heard about him?" Clinton was only partly amused. "I have to say, Seth, I no longer think he's funny," she said. "For weeks, you and everybody else were just bringing folks to hysterical laughter and all of that, but now he has gone way over the line. And what he's saying now is not only shameful and wrong, it's dangerous."
Trump's latest demands to keep all Muslims out of the U.S. "really plays into the hands of the terrorists, and I don't say that lightly, but it does," Clinton said. "He is giving them a great propaganda tool, a way to recruit more folks from Europe and the United States." She called on everyone, especially Trump's fellow Republicans, to stand up and repudiate him — which, of course, many already have, without Hillary Clinton having to ask. Watch below. Peter Weber
