PHILADELPHIA — Donald Trump’s campaign fired away at Hillary Clinton on Thursday minutes after she accepted the Democratic presidential nomination in a speech that contained several carefully crafted jabs at the Republican presidential nominee.
“Hillary Clinton’s speech was an insulting collection of cliches and recycled rhetoric,” Trump’s senior policy adviser Stephen Miller said in a statement. “She spent the entire evening talking down to the American people she’s looked down on her whole life.'”
Clinton spent several minutes haranguing Trump for his “bigotry and bombast” in her acceptance speech. She told the 4,000-plus Democratic delegation that “a man who you can bait with a tweet is not a man you can trust with nuclear codes.”
Shortly after she concluded her remarks, Trump fired off more than a half-dozen tweets about critiquing the former secretary’s of state’s speech.
“It’s a speech delivered from a fantasy universe, not the reality we live in today,” Miller said Thursday night.
