Donald Trump launches scathing attack on Bill Clinton over
his alleged affairs and calls him 'one of the great abusers'

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump
sought to assail Democrat Hillary Clinton on Wednesday by calling her husband,
former President Bill Clinton, 'one of the great abusers of the world.'
Speaking to about 2,000 supporters at a rally,
Trump again invoked the ex-president's alleged extramarital affairs and accused
Bill Clinton of engaging in 'tremendous abuse' of women.
Dismissing Hillary Clinton's accusation that
Trump himself engaged in sexism, the real estate magnate and reality TV star
said: 'And she wants to accuse me of things. And the husband's one of the great
abusers of the world. Give me a break. Give me a break. Give me a break.
References to Bill Clinton's affair with White
House intern Monica Lewinsky have rarely come up in the lead-up to the 2016
elections. But Trump, who has developed a pattern of attacking those who cross
him in ways others won't, said Wednesday that Hillary Clinton had forced his
hand.
Earlier this month Trump used a vulgar sexual
term to describe how Hillary Clinton had been beaten by rival Barack Obama in
the 2008 Democratic primary. In response, she said that Trump displayed a
'penchant for sexism.'
'When she said that, I had no choice,' Trump
said Wednesday. 'You can't let people push you around,' he said, adding: 'We
view this as war.'
Bill Clinton was set to campaign on behalf of
his wife in New Hampshire next week. While the front-runner among Democratic
candidates in national polls, she trails rival candidate Bernie Sanders in some
polls in the first-in-the-nation primary state.
