Trump denies using ‘vulgar’ language to mock Clinton
That’s what makes this particular exchange interesting: Clinton is levying the same kind of-the-cuff attack against Trump as he’s been throwing around at random throughout his campaign. “I don’t want to talk about it. No, it’s too disgusting”.
“We are not responding to Trump, but everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should”, Palmieri said on Twitter, concluding with the hashtag “imwithher”.
But he reserved his most stinging – and vulgar – remarks for Clinton, the clear frontrunner for the Democratic nomination for the White House in 2016.

Trump’s latest statement, as posted online on Monday, can be seen below.
Advocating for more “love and kindness” Clinton added: “That’s why it’s important to stand up to bullies wherever we are and why we shouldn’t let anybody bully his way into the presidency”.
Trump even mocked some of the protesters, noting that one had a “weak voice” and calling several others “a bunch of losers”.
“You will take that momentum coming out of the states, people will come to you in very large numbers, in very short order, and you will build that into victory”, Sanders campaign adviser Tad Devine told reporters in New Hampshire on Saturday.
“They gave it to a woman who has not done the right thing for Germany”, Trump said, as the crowd booed Merkel.
