Clinton camp: Condemn Trump’s ‘degrading language’
Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign on Tuesday condemned Donald Trump’s “degrading language” about the Democratic front-runner.
Clinton Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri tweeted that the former secretary of State would not be responding directly to Trump’s message. But she encouraged others to do so.
We are not responding to Trump but everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should. #imwithher

At a Monday rally Trump mocked Clinton for using the bathroom during last weekend’s Democratic presidential debate, calling it “disgusting.”
“I’m watching the debate and she disappeared,” Trump said at the Monday rally. “Where did she go? Where did Hillary go? I thought she quit. I thought she gave up. They had to start the debate without her, phase two. I haven’t started with Hillary yet, [but] Hillary’s going to get beaten.
“I know where she went, it’s disgusting, I don’t want to talk about it,” the real estate mogul continued. “No, it’s too disgusting. Don’t say it, it’s disgusting, let’s not talk.”
Trump went on to blast Clinton for losing the 2008 presidential race, saying she “got schlonged” by then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
“She was favored to win and she got schlonged,” Trump said at the rally.
“She lost, I mean she lost,” he continued. “Everything that’s been involved with Hillary has been losses. Even a race with Obama — she was going to beat Obama.”
Trump’s comments in the past about women have raised charges of sexism.
He criticized fellow GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina’s looks in September, saying no one could imagine her being president given her face.
And after the first GOP presidential debate, Trump criticized Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly for her tough questions, saying she had “blood coming out of her wherever.”
