INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana -- Hillary Clinton today cautioned that the United Kingdom's "Brexit" decision to leave the European Union serves as a "reminder that what happens around the world has consequences that can hit home quickly and affects our lives and our livelihoods."

Without mentioning his name, the Democratic presidential candidate went on to hit Donald Trump for his "bombastic" reaction to the vote, which many world leaders and economists had warned against.

"We need leaders like yourselves, at the local and state and federal level, who understand how to work with other leaders to manage risks, who understand that bombastic comments in turbulent times can actually cause more turbulence, and who put the interests of the American people ahead of their personal business interests," Clinton told a group of mayors at the annual U.S. Mayors Conference in Indianapolis.
