Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump slammed Hillary Clinton as mentally unstable at a campaign rally, seizing on her admission that she “short-circuited” in comments about her private email use at the State Department.
“The people of this country don’t want somebody who’s going to short circuit up here,” Trump told supporters in New Hampshire. “She’s a dangerous liar,” the real estate mogul said of the Democratic former secretary of state. “She is a totally unhinged person. She’s unbalanced.”
Trump’s supporters chanted “lock her up!” during the event in the town of Windham. On Friday, Clinton acknowledged she “may have short-circuited” when she tried to clarify statements about her use of a private email server. The Democrat had told Fox News Sunday that FBI director James Comey said her “answers were truthful” about whether she sent or received classified material via private email. That comment was branded false by Washington-based fact-checkers.
