Clinton spoke before the Women’s Luncheon for the Rainbow Push Coalition.She spoke about gun control, abortion rights, the Supreme Court and Trump.

She said his ideas are incoherent.

"Every day Donald Trump proves that he’s not in this for the American people. He’s in it for himself. And he’s temperamentally unfit to be president," said Clinton

About 2-thousand  people were in attendance to hear Clinton’s 30 minute speech.

She was introduced by Jackie Jackson, the wife of the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr.
