Hillary Clinton mocks 'sound and fury' of GOP convention in Las Vegas speech

Hillary Clinton described the first day of the Republican National Convention as "surreal," comparing Donald Trump's dramatic entrance to "The Wizard of Oz."

"Lots of sound and fury. Even a fog machine," she said in a speech to union members in Las Vegas. "But when you pulled back the curtain, there was just Donald Trump, with nothing to offer the American people."

Clinton did not mention the plagiarism controversy over Melania Trump's speech at the convention, but she harshly criticized the presumptive Republican nominee's business track record.

"Donald Trump's business model is basically fraud and abuse," she said, pointing to contractors who didn't get paid by Trump's company after they finished their work.

"Putting Donald Trump in charge of our economy would be devastating."
