Republican Donald Trump’s supporters are coming under fire from Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign which is upset that T-shirts reading “Trump That Bitch” and Confederate flags were on display at a Tuesday North Carolina rally for the presidential candidate.
In a fundraising email, the campaign said the displays proved Trump “is a toxic threat to the very values we share.”

The email:
Friend —
The descriptions of Trump’s rally in Greensboro earlier this week are horrifying:
A crowd chanting, “Build that wall!” An audience refusing to clap for a call for unity with the LGBT community. A group of six men following a protester out of the venue to intimidate him. Confederate flags everywhere. A vendor selling t-shirts that say “Trump that Bitch.”
This isn’t just politics as usual. Donald Trump isn’t just any Republican nominee — he’s inciting violence, and his rallies are hotbeds of anger and resentment. And if this is how he runs his campaign — imagine how he’d run our country.
This is what we’re dealing with. Trump is a toxic threat to the very values we stand for. Chip in, get a free sticker, and say you’re ready to make sure he’ll never, ever be our president:
Thank you — we’re in this together.
