Kaine blasts Trump in Tallahassee trip

Kaine, during a rally at Florida A&M University, lambasted the GOP presidential nominee for comments he's made throughout the campaign, saying he's ridiculed people with disabilities, trashed people of Mexican origin and suggested Muslims should be second-class citizens.

"Ku Klux Klan values, David Duke values, Donald Trump values are not American values," he said before a crowd of hundreds at the historically black institution. "They're not our values. And we've got to do all we can to push back and win."
