Donald Trump says Democratic rival Hillary Clinton is “the devil.”

Trump, speaking in Pennsylvania on Monday, derided Bernie Sanders’ capitulation in the Democratic primary race and decision to support Clinton.

Trump said of Sanders: “He made a deal with the devil. She’s the devil.”

Trump in recent days has taken to categorizing the agreement as a “deal with the devil” but this was the first time that he went so far as to specifically equate Clinton with Lucifer.

Trump’s supporters packed a Mechanicsburg high school gymnasium and thousands more were left outside or forced to watch in a spillover room.
