WASHINGTON, United States—Hillary Clinton took aim at fellow White House hopeful Donald Trump over his call to ban Muslims from entering the United States, saying: “I no longer think he is funny.”

Appearing on NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers” later Thursday, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination said Trump had overstepped the mark with his latest comments.
“You know, I have to say, Seth, I no longer think he is funny,” Clinton said, according to NBC News.
“I think for weeks you and everybody else were just bringing folks to hysterical laughter, but now he has gone way over the line.
“And what he is saying now is not only shameful and wrong, it is dangerous.”
Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, came under fire at home and abroad this week for his proposal to temporarily bar Muslims from entering the US.

It came in the wake of last week’s shooting by a Muslim couple in Sen Bernardino, California, that left 14 dead.
