Clinton Camp fires back at Trump's "Disgraceful" Remark about Staffer Huma Abedin (HILLARY GROUP)

Hillary Clinton‘s campaign released a statement tonight ripping Donald Trump for his personal sniping at staffer Huma Abedin.

During a fundraiser in Massachusetts tonight, Trump went on a riff about Abedin and her husband “perv” Anthony Weiner.

Trump mocked Weiner for his sexting and said that Abedin must be “desperately in love” with him if she stays with him, as well as saying she must clearly share everything with her husband.

A Clinton spokesman sent out this blistering statement tonight condemning Trump’s remarks....

his disgusting remarks about Huma he said that Hillary's crimes were worse than Gen. Petraeus. He also said that the Gen. Petraeus' life had been ruined. Isn't he still a WH adviser?

Anyway, this was during Tweety's show. I turned it off. Did anyone correct the record or defend Hillary and Huma?

Every time he speaks I worry what people from countries other than the US must be thinking.

The summer before Reagan was elected I was out of the country, mostly in England. Everyone kept asking about that cowboy and was he was some sort of joke that the US was playing on the rest of the world. They could not believe that he was going to be elected to the presidency because to a person they knew he was not very bright and until then everyone thought Americans were smart. Sadly... not true.

Donald Trump takes aim at Clinton aide Huma Abedin and 'perv' Anthony Weiner http://nbcnews.to/1JCydZJ



.............Trump told the crowd that he suspected Abedin must have been sharing information she learned with her husband. "Do you think there's even a 5% chance that she's not telling Anthony Weiner - now of a public relations firm - what the hell is coming across? Do you think there's even a little bit of a chance? I don't think so," Trump said.

He continued his personal attacks on the couple by using hand motions and subtly referencing Weiner's sexting affair - the scandal that forced the former congressman to resign in 2011 and that sidelined his 2013 New York City mayor bid.

"If you think that Huma isn't telling Anthony, who she's probably desperately in love with, in all fairness to Anthony. Cause why else would she marry this guy? Can you believe it? Can't see straight."

"I knew before they caught him with the bing bing bing," Trump continued. "Right? And he was a bad guy then, it turned out that he was a really bad guy."

Shortly after the event, Trump defended his attacks on Abedin and Weiner, telling NBC News over the phone that Abedin should not have had access to confidential information.

Trump Suggests Top Clinton Adviser Shared Classified Secrets With Husband

Clinton campaign calls criticism of Huma Abedin "patently false, personal attacks towards a staff member"


Donald Trump is adding a new figure to the list of people he considers a loser: longtime Hillary Clinton adviser Huma Abedin.



http://time.com/4015820/donald-trump-huma-abedin-hillary-clinton-email/?xid=tcoshare

During a Friday evening stop at a private picnic near Boston, the Republican White House hopeful and real estate mogul suggested that Abedin had shared classified information with her husband, disgraced ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner. Abedin, one of Clinton’s longest serving aides and now the vice chairman of her presidential campaign, was Clinton’s deputy chief of staff while she was Secretary of State and one of her most trusted advisers.

Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill called Trump’s remarks “patently false, personal attacks towards a staff member.”

While Clinton’s critics are investigating her use of a private email server and whether classified information was sent to non-governmental accounts, no one had before suggested Abedin was passing sensitive materials to anyone who should not have had it. To Trump, Abedin is yet another shady figure involved in the never-ending saga of Clinton’s email practices as the nation’s top diplomat. “It all came through Huma,” whom Trump repeated called “YOU-ma.”...................
