Clinton and Sanders condemn Trump after violent protests

(ANSA) - New York, March 14 - Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders both condemned Republican frontrunner Donald Trump during a televised CNN town hall meeting on Sunday evening, following Trump rally protests that turned violent at the weekend. "(Trump) is conducting a cynical campaign of hate and fear for one reason: to get votes," Clinton said.
    Sanders called Trump a "pathological liar" and said Trump should tell his supporters that violence in the political process is unacceptable.
    Trump cancelled a political rally in Chicago last Friday after his supporters and protesters clashed, and Trump has said that Sanders supporters are to blame for the violence.
    At a Trump rally in Kansas City on Saturday, police used pepper spray to disperse protesters.
    At the town hall meeting Clinton said she has received messages from foreign leaders concerned about the prospect of a Trump presidency, asking if they could publicly endorse her candidacy.
