Washington (CNN) 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said Sunday that "we are living through a full-fledged crisis in our democracy" and "racist and white supremacist views are lifted up" in the White House. "This is a time, my friends, when fundamental rights, civic virtue, freedom of the press, the rule of law, truth, facts and reason are under assault," said Clinton, who made the remarks in Selma, Alabama, as she accepted an award at an event marking the 54th anniversary of "Bloody Sunday." "And make no mistake, we are living through a full-fledged crisis in our democracy." Clinton went on to say that while there may not be "tanks in the streets," "what's happening goes to the heart of who we are as a nation." Clinton, who did not directly mention President Donald Trump in her remarks, took aim at the administration of her formal rival, suggesting his White House espouses racist views.
