Donald Trump on Monday night tested a new attack line against Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, going after her use of a private email server while secretary of State.
“Talk about liars, I think Hillary might be worse than Ted,” Trump said during his rally in Albany, N.Y., referring to his GOP rival Ted Cruz.
{mosads}”Everybody knows that she is guilty as hell, OK? Everybody,” Trump said of Clinton, adding, “Her whole life has been a big, fat, beautiful lie. It’s been a terrible, terrible lie. Everything about her is a lie.”
Trump suggested that he wanted to defeat Cruz and John Kasich in the GOP race so he could focus on “whoever the enemy is,” an apparent reference to the Democratic nominee.
“It’s a rigged deal, so it’s probably going to be Hillary,” Trump said in his remarks broadcast Tuesday morning on MSNBC. “I don’t think the emails will take her down because she is being protected by the Democrats. It would take anybody else down, but it’s not going to take her down because she is being protected.”
Trump made the remarks on the day Clinton released a new ad aimed at blunting Democratic rival Bernie Sanders, claiming “she’s the one tough enough to stop Trump.”
The presidential candidates in both parties are campaigning across New York ahead of next week’s primary in the state.
