Trump chides Clinton over husband’s infidelities

WASHINGTON

Donald Trump once again is raising former President Bill Clinton’s marital infidelities, a preview of how the billionaire businessman is likely to respond to general-election attacks from Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton and her allies about his treatment of women.

Speaking at a rally Saturday in Spokane, Wash., Trump repeatedly assailed the woman he’s dubbed “Crooked Hillary” while hardly sparing former Republican rivals repulsed by his chokehold on their party’s presidential nomination.

“She’s married to a man who was the worst abuser of women in the history of politics,” Trump said of Clinton as he addressed supporters at the Spokane Convention Center just days after becoming the presumptive Republican nominee.

Trump appeared to be responding to news that Priorities USA, the lead super PAC backing Clinton, already has reserved $91 million in television advertising that will start next month. Much of the negative advertising against Trump is expected to focus on belittling statements he’s made about women in the past.

But Trump declared Saturday, “Two can play that game.”

“Look, folks, here’s the story: There is nobody that was worse – nobody – than Bill Clinton with women,” he said, adding that the candidate herself hurt many of the women that “he abused.”

“Hillary was an enabler, and she treated these women horribly. Just remember this,” he said. “And some of these women were destroyed, not by him, but by the way that Hillary Clinton treated them after everything went down.”
