Yes you're right, your comment was clearly in reference to this narrow claim. I didn't intend my comment as a rebuttal to yours, but a bit of a tangent: it's clear that the campaign targeted black voters (presumably among other groups), but it's not clear what's extraordinary or abusive about this. Turnout for oneself and one's opponent is a well-known target of campaign strategy, and I'm not aware of any norm against it. Nor do I think there should be one: it's an entirely legitimate choice to withhold one's vote from either candidate, and this ad simply contained remarks of Clinton's that a black (or Bernie) voter could decide makes her a poor fit for their vote even if they think Trump is too.
