Hillary Clinton: Hopefully Trump Hasn't Ordered The Killing of People And Journalists

Hillary Clinton called President Trump a "top down guy" who "has tendencies toward authoritarianism," and added she hoped he hasn't condemned people to die like other autocrats.

"I don't really think he values democracy, Charlie," Clinton told PBS' Charlie Rose. "He's a top down guy. He has tendencies toward authoritarianism."

Rose asked if that meant he is no different than Russia's Vladimir Putin.

"Well, hopefully, he hasn't ordered the killing of people and journalists," Clinton responded.

Clinton added that Trump's inflammatory language toward NFL players goes back to the 2016 campaign.
