Hillary Clinton, Tim Kaine Campaign In Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Tim Kaine, made a campaign stop at Taylor Allderdice High School Saturday afternoon.
Despite short notice, more than 1,100 people withstood rain to hear Clinton speak at the Squirrel Hill venue.
It was clear Donald Trump was on the minds of many.
"He acts like a 6th grader, and says things that are entirely immature," said one supporter.
Clinton was welcomed to the stage by members of the Rooney family.
"I don't think it gets any better than being accompanied on stage by Dan and Pat Rooney," she said, saying she admires the Rooney family very much. "I am deeply humbled to be supported by Dan and Pat and the Rooney family."
Clinton spoke for more than 35 minutes. She chided Trump for saying one thing, and doing another.
"Donald likes to say he's on the side of American workers, but his actions tell a different story. He's bought cheap Chinese steel and aluminum for his construction projects, he should be buying American made steel that supports American jobs," she said.
Clinton also warned about Trump's lack of specifics to solve problems in Western Pennsylvania.
"They're upset about what they see happening around them, I get that, but anger is not a plan," she said.
She focused much on her support of Katie McGinty, and knocked Sen. Pat Toomey for "refusing to stand up to Donald Trump."
"A lot of republicans have had the grit and the guts to stand up and say 'he does not represent me,'" Clinton said. "Pat Toomey heard Donald attack a grieving lone star family who lost a son in Iraq. He heard Donald call Mexican immigrants rapists. He heard him say terrible things about women. He heard him spread the lie that our first black president wasn't really born in America."
She stressed that the election was "critically important," and asked people to reach out to undecided and Trump voters.
"I want you to tell them that I understand that they need a president who cares about them, will listen to them, and I want to be their president too," she said. "If you do know people who are thinking about voting for our opponent, and you may, I hope you will stage intervention."
