Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton brushed off an opportunity in an interview aired Sunday to criticize Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for the comments he had made about her husband and former President Bill Clinton.
Trump has criticized the Democratic nominee hopeful and alluded to Bill Clinton’s Monica Lewinsky scandal most recently in a web video.
Hillary Clinton was asked to respond during an interview with CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”
“Well, if he wants to engage in personal attacks from the past, that’s his prerogative,” Clinton said. “You know, so be it.”
She continued and defended her position as an advocate for women’s rights.
“He can say whatever he wants to about me. Let the voters judge that,” Clinton continued. “But I am not going to let him or any of the other Republicans rip away the progress that women have made. It’s been too hard-fought-for. And I’m going to stand up and make it clear there’s a huge difference between us.”
Trump: After watching her blabber away on TV, I can say I have never met a bleeding type who was smart. Even air head Megyn Kelly agrees.
The Dumpster will sink himself —Clinton has MUCH more important things she wants and needs to address — It is telling that some can prioritize and that others can not —
This response and statement exhibit more leadership qualities than anything any of the 17 recent GOP presidential contenders combined have ever uttered in the last ten years.
Once again there is a huge secondary issue here regarding the media doing the GOP/Trump’s bidding. The GOP know that every time they bring up a non-issue such as the absurdity as to whether the president used a prop to make him cry about Sandy Hook or in this case personal attacks on Bill Clinton and how supposedly that affects Hillary’s judgement (classic victim blaming), the media will promptly ask either the WH spokesman or Hillary about it, directly. This happens week after week, In essence, the media by bringing up the absurdities try to mainstream them so they can report it later on the evening news and subsequently newspapers will cover it Monday. This is their standard procedure as long as they can try to ding any Democrat. You never see the media do this with the GOP. When has anyone other than perhaps Chris Mathews ever confronted the GOP about their blatant racism?
Other than trash talk, Trump is a nothing burger. Bill Clinton isn’t running for anything. Mrs. Clinton shows dignity and leadership qualities that poor Repubs don’t even recognize because they are empty suits with a lot of money.
