At a rally in Redding, Calif., Donald Trump went after disgraced former Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner — the husband of a top aide to Hillary Clinton — by referencing Weiner’s past sex scandal.

In 2011, Weiner, married to Clinton aide Huma Abedin, resigned his seat in Congress after being caught using Twitter to send graphic photos of himself to women who were not his wife.

“She’s got people like Huma,” Trump said in a Friday afternoon rally. “She’s the wife of Anthony Weiner. Now how would you like Anthony Weiner to be having all these secrets? Well, guess what? She tells Anthony Weiner everything there is.”

Trump added: “I know Anthony Weiner. I don’t want him knowing anything…And I never ever want him to tweet me, right? Does anybody want him to tweet? No, I don’t think.”

Weiner appeared to respond to Trump on Twitter by saying: “ill hit that guy with so many rights, he’ll be begging for a left.”
