Hillary Clinton officially accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination for president last night (July 28) at the fourth and final day of the Democratic National Convention.
Clinton, who has been involved in politics for years as First Lady, a
New York senator, and as Secretary of State, made history by becoming
the first woman to be nominated by a major political party in the United
States.
After her daughter Chelsea Clinton gave a warm introduction of Clinton
as a mother and grandmother, Clinton took to the stage in Philadelphia
for her acceptance speech.
FoxNews.com reports that during the 56-minute long speech, Clinton
spent a large portion of time making the case against Republican
presidential nominee Donald Trump.
While in his 75-minute long acceptance speech Trump painted a grim picture of the challenges facing the nation, Clinton took a more upbeat tone.
"He's taken the Republican Party a long way, from 'Morning in America'
to 'Midnight in America,'" Clinton said. "He wants to divide us - from
the rest of the world, and from each other."
“He’s betting that the perils of today’s world will blind us to its
unlimited promise,” she continued. “He wants us to fear the future and
fear each other. Well, a great Democratic President, Franklin Delano
Roosevelt, came up with the perfect rebuke to Trump more than 80 years
ago, during a much more perilous time: ‘The only thing we have to fear
is fear itself.’”
Trump, for his part, tweeted:
Donald J. Trump
Hillary's vision is a borderless world where working people have no power, no jobs, no safety.
