“He says we should punish women who have abortions,” a narrator says as pictures of women flash across the screen, leading to a clip of the Republican front-runner saying there has to be “some form of punishment.”
Then, the ad moves to comments made by Trump about Mexicans (“They’re rapists”) and banning Muslims from entering the United States (“Total and complete shutdown”).
“Donald Trump says we can solve America’s problems by turning against each other,” Clinton says. “It’s wrong and it goes against everything New York and America stand for.”
The narrator concludes: “With so much at stake, she’s the one tough enough to stop Trump.”
According to a RealClearPolitics average of polls, Clinton leads rival Sen. Bernie Sanders by 14 points in New York. Trump leads the GOP field by double-digits in the Empire State as well.
