Hillary Goes After Trump In New York Ad [VIDEO]

CNN reports:

Hillary Clinton is taking to the airwaves to confront Donald Trump, airing her first television ad here in New York to challenge the Republican billionaire in hopes of strengthening her own bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.

“When some say we can solve America’s problems by building walls, banning people based on their religion and turning against each other,” Clinton says in the ad, “well, this is New York. And we know better.”

The ad, which Clinton narrates herself, comes as she starts planting her flag for the New York primary April 19. She’s engaged in a fierce Democratic primary battle with Sen. Bernie Sanders, but the new ad underscores her new effort to present herself as the best candidate to stop Trump from reaching the White House.

From the Wall Street Journal:

Mrs. Clinton says, in a reference to Mr. Trump, “When some say we can solve America’s problems by building walls, banning people based on their religion and turning against each other…Well, this is New York. And we know better.”

With 247 delegates at stake, New York is the biggest prize left in the Democratic primary race except for California, whose primary is set for June 7. Mrs. Clinton has a campaign appearance at the Apollo Theater in Harlem on Wednesday at which she will mention some of the same points raised in the ad, an aide says. Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, has a series of campaign appearances in New York on Thursday.
