Clinton's and Trump's Immediate Responses to NYC Explosion Couldn't Have Been More Different

Saturday evening at approximately 8:30 p.m., an explosion rocked the Chelsea area of Manhattan in New York City. 29 people were injured, but as of Sunday, all have been released from the hospital, according to CNN.

When the news first broke, both presidential candidates made two very different statements about the event.

At a rally in Colorado, Republican nominee Donald Trump told the audience that a "bomb" had gone off:

"I must tell you that just before I got off the plane, a bomb went off in New York and nobody knows exactly what's going on. But boy, we are living in a time—we better get very tough, folks. We better get very, very tough. Just happened. So we'll find out. It's a terrible thing that's going on in our world, and in our country, and we are going to get tough and smart and vigilant. And we're gonna end it. We're gonna end it. So, we'll see what it is."

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's response was more low-key:

"I've been briefed about the bombings in New York and New Jersey, and the attack in Minnesota. Obviously, we need to do everything we can to support our first responders. Also to pray for the victims. We have to let this investigation unfold. We've been in touch with various officials through the mayor's office in New York to learn what they are discovering as they conduct this investigation. I'll have more to say about it when we actually know some facts."

The two candidates couldn't have taken a more different approach to the incident.

Trump talked about the need to be "tough," and told the crowd he would "end it." Clinton was much more subdued, simply noting that we need to support first responders, and that she'd comment further when more details emerged.
