Donald Trump’s new nickname for Hillary Clinton is “Crooked Hillary.” On Sunday Clinton commented on Trump’s label, saying, “He can say whatever he want to say about me. I really could care less.”
But on ABC’s “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos, Clinton appeared to care about what Trump said, using it as an opportunity to complain about Trump.
Clinton responded to her new nickname claiming, “I don’t respond to Donald Trump and his string of insults about me. I can take care of myself. I look forward to running against him if he turns out to be the Republican nominee if I am the Democratic nominee.”
“What I’m concerned about is how he goes after everybody else. He goes after women. He goes after Muslims. He goes after immigrants. He goes after people with disabilities. He is hurting our unity at home. He is undermining the values that we stand for in New York and across America. And he’s hurting us around the world. He can say whatever he want to say about me. I really could care less,” Clinton suggested.
“I’m going to stay focused on the issues because there are stark difference between where I think our country needs to be headed and where he would turn us back and undermine the progress that we’ve been making,” the former secretary of state said. “So when I talk about jobs, when I talk about climate change, when I talk about equal pay, when I talk about a woman’s right to make her own healthcare decisions, and so much else, I know that he doesn’t believe any of that. And that in this campaign he wants to set Americans against each other and I’m not going to stand for it.”
Trump has labeled Sen. [crscore]Ted Cruz[/crscore] “Lyin’ Ted,” Jeb Bush as “low energy” and Sen. [crscore]Marco Rubio[/crscore] as “Little Marco” during the 2016 election cycle.
Trump gave Clinton the nickname during a campaign rally on Saturday, saying, “I’m not controlled by special interests, by the lobbyists. They control crooked Hillary.”
