CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) – Campaigning in Iowa over Labor Day weekend, Hillary Rodham Clinton says she is ready to take on Republican opposition and will press for specifics on immigration proposals by front-runner Donald Trump.

The former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate said in Cedar Rapids Sunday that “whatever they throw at me, I can throw it right back.”

Clinton made the comment before more than 100 people gathered at a private house party. She also campaigned before crowds packed inside and outside a Newton coffee shop.

Clinton questioned the immigration proposals from Trump, saying she will be “pressing very hard to get specifics.”

Clinton did not take any press questions and did not discuss her use of a private email system at the State Department.
