The former secretary of state has told a crowd of young digital content creators at a town hall-style meeting in Hollywood, California, on Tuesday that more must be done to create jobs and improve the economy.
She says she understands why some people are upset or fearful about foreign trade or illegal immigration.
But Clinton says she's looking for solutions and warns about "misleading promises" and a Trump agenda that she says would take the country backward.
She says she is not sympathetic with Islamophobia, xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny and other "sort of dog whistle's that Trump uses to create that fervor among a lot of his supporters."
"That is contrary to our values," she says.
Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump is reiterating his call for the return of waterboarding and the use of other harsh interrogation techniques in the battle against Islamic State militants.
Trump tells a rally crowd in Ohio that, "you have to fight fire with fire."
The pronouncement drew cheers and chants of "USA! USA!"
During the Republican primary, Trump frequently advocated the return of waterboarding and "much worse," declaring at one point that "torture works." Trump says: "We have to fight so viciously and violently because we're dealing with violent people."
Trump is continuing his harsh rhetoric as he approaches the general election campaign, even as his advisers work to make him more measured.
Hillary Clinton says the bombings at Istanbul Ataturk Airport are "a reminder that the United States cannot retreat."
The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee says in a statement that the U.S. must deepen its cooperation with allies and partners in the Middle East and Europe "to take on this threat."
Clinton says: "Such cooperation is essential to protecting the homeland and keeping our country safe."
Clinton says that Americans stand united with the people of Turkey against this campaign of hatred and violence.
She says "Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the Turkish people. ... Today's attack in Istanbul only strengthens our resolve to defeat the forces of terrorism and radical jihadism around the world."
Republican Donald Trump is responding to Tuesday's deadly attack in Istanbul, Turkey, by warning of the danger of threats at home.
The presumptive Republican nominee tells a rally in St. Clairsville, Ohio, that "there's something going on that's really, really bad. We better get smart and we better get tough or we're not going to have much of a country left."
Suspected Islamic State militants killed dozens of people and wounded more at the international terminal of Istanbul Ataturk Airport.
Trump's campaign also released a statement earlier Tuesday saying its "prayers are with the families" of those killed and injured.
It adds, "We must take steps now to protect America from terrorists, and do everything in our power to improve our security to keep America safe."
