Hillary goes after Toomey in Pennsylvania.

Hillary Clinton slammed Sen. Pat Toomey on Saturday, going after the vulnerable Pennsylvania Republican senator's position on Donald Trump.

"He still refuses to stand up to Donald Trump," the Democratic presidential nominee said of Toomey during a rally in Pittsburgh, Pa., noting by contrast that "a lot of Republicans have" stood up to the GOP nominee.

They have had the grit and the guts to stand up and say, 'He does not represent me,'" Clinton continued.

"But Pat Toomey heard Donald attack a grieving Gold Star family who lost their son in Iraq, he heard Donald called 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 said.

Toomey has not endorsed Trump, but has said he will not vote for Clinton.

soon-to-be President Clinton going after Senator Toomey. He's NOT for us!
She also knows that this is one seat that the Dems need to get control of the Senate so that we stand some sort of chance to get something done!
