7:45 a.m.
Donald Trump’s campaign manager says that if Hillary Clinton is right that it’s, “midnight in America,” it’s the fault of Democratic leaders.
Paul Manafort tells “Fox & Friends” on Friday that, “if it’s midnight in America, it’s because of seven-and-a-half years of the Obama-Clinton administration.”
He was responding to Clinton’s claim at the Democratic National Convention that Trump has brought the Republican Party from “morning in America to midnight in America.”
Manafort says Trump thinks America is great “but the American people don’t feel that the future is what they want it to be.”
He said Clinton “can’t hide” from her 25 years in public life.
