Hillary Clinton gave [a blistering rebuttal](http://time.com/4368686/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-muslim-ban/) to Donald Trump’s speech about the Orlando shooting and his [renewed call for a ban on Muslims](http://time.com/4367193/orlando-shooting-hillary-clinton-donald-trump-speeches/) coming to the United States.

Speaking at a rally in Pittsburgh Tuesday, the presumptive Democratic nominee called her general election rival “temperamentally unfit and totally unqualified” to serve as president.

Here’s a transcript of the speech as given.

## Transcript

Donald Trump wants to be our next Commander in Chief. [ NOISE ] I think we all know that that is a job that demands a calm, collected, and dignified response to these kinds of events. [ APPLAUSE ] [ APPLAUSE ] Instead, yesterday morning, just one day after the massacre, he went on TV and suggested that President Obama. Is on the side of the terrorists. [ SOUND ] Now, now just think about that for a second. Even in a time of divided politics, this is way beyond anything that should be said by someone running for President of the United States. [ APPLAUSE ] What Donald Trump is saying Is shameful.

It is disrespectful to the people who were killed and wounded and their families. [ APPLAUSE ] And it is yet more evidence That he is temperamentally unfit and totally unqualified to be Commander In Chief. [ APPLAUSE ] So, if Donald suggests I won't call this threat what it is, he hasn't been listening. But I will not demonize and declare war on an entire religion. And, [ APPLAUSE ] Trump, as usual, is obsessed with name calling. And, from my perspective, it matters what we do, not just what we say. [ APPLAUSE ]
