Both Clinton and Sanders condemn violence at political rallies
Hillary Clinton says Donald Trump is encouraging violence and chaos to win over voters.
Clinton says, "At our best, Americans have rejected demagogues and fear-mongers."
Trump wants to round up and deport Latino immigrants, ban Muslims from the United States and also kill the families of suspected terrorists, which Clinton says is a war crime.
She adds that he also encourages his supporters to punch protesters that attend his campaign events.
"We can criticize and protest Mr. Trump all we want, but none of that matters if we don't show up at the polls," she says. "If you want to shut him down, let's vote him down."
Clinton and her rival Bernie Sanders both spoke at a fundraiser for the Ohio Democratic party.
Sanders is calling on Donald Trump to "tell his supporters that violence in the political process in America is not acceptable."
During a televised town hall Sunday on CNN, the Vermont senator was asked about the Republican front-runner's statements that the Sanders campaign sent protesters to disrupted Trump's rally in Chicago.
Sanders called Trump a "pathological liar" and said his campaign has never encouraged "anybody to disrupt anything." He added he hopes "Mr. Trump tones it down big-time and tells his supporters violence is not acceptable in the political process."
