Hillary Clinton is using the words of former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney to attack Donald Trump.

On Wednesday, Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate, re-tweeted Romney from March 3: “Here’s what I know. Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University.”

Romney was a reliable critic of Trump, the presumptive nominee, during the primary and has suggested he is open to supporting a third party candidate over Clinton and Trump.

Clinton’s campaign is trying to draw attention to a long-running lawsuit brought by former students of the now-defunct for-profit Trump University. Trump’s campaign has argued most former students were happy with the program.

This isn’t the first time Clinton has used the words of prominent Republicans against Trump.
