Hillary
Clinton Attends Daytona Beach Canvass Kick-Off
Hillary
Clinton spoke at a canvass kick-off rally in Daytona Beach, Florida on
Saturday. She began the event by addressing yesterday’s
revelation that the FBI is is looking into “new evidence” related to
her emails. Clinton called on FBI
Director James Comey to release the full details of the investigation for the
benefit of American voters saying, “Some of you may have heard about a letter
written by the FBI director. You probably have a few questions about it. It is
pretty strange to put something like that out with such little information
right before an election. In fact, it’s not just strange, it’s unprecedented
and deeply troubling.”
Clinton
then gave one of her typical campaign stump speeches in which she laid out
several of her proposed policies. She stressed the importance of the election
and said it is about more then just Republican vs. Democrat. This election is
about the direction of our country. She
said, “Everything we care about is at stake. The American dream itself is at
stake.” Clinton said that Donald Trump’s hope is that women, young people,
and minorities do not turn out to vote, but
she urged everyone to vote saying, “That goes against everything we stand for.
And do you know how to stop him? By showing up with the greatest turnout of
voters ever. Let’s break every record.”
