Hillary Clinton is setting her sights on a general election match up with Donald Trump, with a web video out Thursday starring members of Trump’s own party calling him “utterly amoral,” “the most vulgar person” ever to run for President, and a “bigot.”

After footage of Trump claiming he’s a “unifier,” the campaign video features a who’s who of 2016 GOP dropouts torching the billionaire, with clips of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) calling him a “con artist” and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) slamming him as a “race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot.”

The web video, which Clinton tweeted from her verified Twitter account Thursday morning, is intercut with multiple clips of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s anti-Trump speech from March, where he reminded voters that Trump once mocked a disabled reporter on the stump and suggested Fox News’ Megyn Kelly was menstruating during the first GOP debate.

The campaign video also features more recent history, with news clips of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) calling his rival “utterly amoral” and a “bully.”

After rolling interview footage of Trump saying, “I bring people together,” text rolls, reading: “Well, he’s right about that.”

The video ends with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush shaking his head at a reporter’s question and saying, “He needs therapy.”
