Clinton linking Trump campaign to far-right ideology

Hillary Clinton is ready to call out Donald Trump and his advisers for embracing a “disturbing alt-right” political philosophy that her campaign says presents “a divisive and dystopian view of America.”

She’ll try to make the case in a speech later today in Nevada.

Trump’s campaign counters that the GOP presidential nominee has never used the term “alt-right” and disavows “any groups or individuals associated with a message of hate.”

“Alt-right” is short for “alternative right,” and is often associated with efforts on the far right to preserve “white identity,” oppose multiculturalism and defend “Western values.”
