This is one Hell of an election.
At a campaign rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump called
Hillary Clinton “the devil” in front of a crowd packed into the
Mechanicsburg high school gymnasium on Monday.
The Republican presidential candidate was criticizing Bernie Sanders’s
appearance at the Democratic National Convention, claiming that the
Vermont senator, once fierce rivals with Clinton, had sold out.
“She’s the devil,” Trump said, talking about Clinton. “He made a deal with the devil.”
In rallies across the country, Trump had been calling out Sanders for
his “deal with the devil,” but this is the first instance where he
specifically linked the devil with Clinton.
Not surprisingly, this isn’t even the most controversial thing Trump has said this week alone.
Starting off with insulting and feuding with a Gold Star family after he attacked parents of a slain Muslim-American U.S. Army captain on Saturday, he then went on to cluelessly claim that Russia would not invade Ukraine — despite the fact that it already has — on Sunday, Monday's devilish accusations are just the latest checkpoint in Trump’s marathon of mouthing off.
Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon and Trump’s former political rival,
made a similar assessment during the Republican National Convention, linking Clinton to Lucifer through her 47-year-old college thesis.
While both Trump and Carson are putting the horns on Clinton, former Speaker of the House John Boehner had Texas senator Ted Cruz marked as the devil.
“Lucifer in the flesh,” Boehner said, when describing Cruz. “I have
Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost
everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a b---h
in my life.”
It could be fire and brimstone for Trump’s campaign, as Clinton’s lead leaped bounds to 46%-39% over the Republican candidate in the latest general election poll.
