Clinton Camp Calls Trump's Comments Degrading and Sexist, Won't Engage in Vulgar Rhetorics With GOP Candidate
Donald Trump's crude comments regarding Hillary Clinton's let-down in the 2008 presidential contest has surprisingly drawn less reaction from the Democratic frontrunner's camp.
Communications director Jennifer Palmieri said on Twitter that although Trump's remarks should be condemned, the campaign isn't keen on engaging in vulgar rhetorics with the GOP candidate.
Senior spokesperson Karen Finney also had her say on Twitter.
The tweets were in response to Trump's unsavory choice of words during a recent rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
"Even her race to Obama, she was gonna beat Obama," the business magnate said Monday night via TheNation. "I don't know who would be worse, I don't know. How does it get worse? But she was gonna beat - she was favored to win - and she got schlonged. She lost."
Even Clinton's stage delay after a bathroom break didn't escape Trump's antics.
"I'm watching the debate, and she disappeared," said an energetic Trump on AFP News. "I know where she went. It's disgusting. I don't want to talk about it. No, it's too disgusting. Don't say it, it's disgusting. We want to be very straight up, OK?"
A day after in Iowa, Clinton didn't respond to Trump's vile comments, but she did criticize his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States. She also reiterated her claim that ISIS is using the GOP candidate as a recruitment tool. However, she was noticeable toned down with her statements and didn't single out a specific video.
Near the end of the event, a young girl approached Clinton and said she had been bullied in school because of her asthma. Clinton embraced the girl and said she too has been a victim of bullying.
"You're looking at somebody who's had a lot of terrible things said about me," Clinton said on ABC News. "I'm old enough that it doesn't particularly bother me but I can't imagine what it's like to be, you know, a young person in today's world where that's coming at you all the time."
While the remark wasn't directly aimed at Trump, it denoted a whole new meaning after what he said about her the previous night. Clinton managed to hurl a discreet jab at Trump by saying, "We shouldn't let anybody bully his way into the presidency because that is not who we are as Americans."
