Hillary on Trump: He ‘Wants To Be Like Putin’

‘I believe Trump admires authoritarians’

EXCERPT:

CLINTON: "Well, I know there is nothing there so I don’t take it substantively as much of a worry. But here is what I do believe. I believe that Trump admires authoritarians. He doesn’t just like Putin. He wants to be like Putin. He wants to have that kind of power that is largely unaccountable, unchecked. And when I first hear that, especially these rallies that were inciting violence and insulting people and all the rest of it, I thought it was bizarre, really unbecoming of somebody who's running for a president. Then when they moved it into his convention and it was being done from the platform and people were chanting it and screaming it, I thought, 'Wow, this is unlike anything I’ve ever read about or seen in presidential conventions.' Every kind of political barrier that should have restrained this president and those urging him on was broken through."
