Clinton: Trump Trafficking in ‘Prejudice and Paranoia’

‘He has really been offensive and in many respects surprising to those of us who did know him’

SCARBOROUGH: “It’s most likely going to be Donald Trump, though, isn’t it?”
CLINTON: “Well, I mean, right now it looks like that but I’m not going handicap their race, I want to let them decide that.”
SCARBOROUGH: “How surprised are you knowing Donald Trump as long as you’ve known Donald Trump? And I did — I actually said she’s exactly right when you answered the question, ‘Why did you go to his wedding?’ You said ‘He’s fun.’”
CLINTON: “Yeah.”
SCARBOROUGH: “‘He’s an interesting guy, he’s fun.’ How surprised are you that we are finding our — we woke up after Nevada and everybody in Washington said ‘Oh, my god, this guy is most likely going to be the next nominee.”
CLINTON: “Well, I didn’t know him that well but I did know him.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Right.”
CLINTON: “And I think it’s been most surprising to me to see somebody who was affable and was good company and, you know, had a reputation of being kind of bigger than life, really traffic in a lot of the prejudice and paranoia. And some of the comments that he’s made which has been so divisive and mean spirited doesn’t quite fit with what I thought I knew about him. And so, I think it’s going to be be interesting to see what — if he does get the nomination he decides to do with it how he presents himself. But he has really been offensive and in many respects surprising to those of us who did know him.”
