Clinton Takes Shot at Trump: 'Shouldn't Let Anybody Bully His Way to the Presidency'

By Josh Haskell

KEOTA, Iowa — Dec 22, 2015, 5:49 PM ET



...........The war of words between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump continued Tuesday in Iowa with the former Secretary of State saying, "We shouldn't let anybody bully his way to the presidency."

Though she didn't mention Trump by name, the remarks came in the wake of controversial comments made by the real estate mogul in which he called a bathroom break that she took during the most recent Democratic debate "disgusting" and said that she "got [expletive]" during the 2008 election.

They also came as Clinton stood by her claim that ISIS operatives are using Trump in recruitment videos.

During the campaign event in Keota, Iowa, Clinton was asked a question by a high school student who said she's been bullied because she has asthma. "You're looking at someone who has had a lot of really terrible things said about me," Clinton responded.

"I think we are not treating each other with the respect and the care that we should show to each other. And, that's why it's important to stand up to bullies wherever they are and why we shouldn't let anybody bully his way to the Presidency," Clinton told the crowd of 700.
...................

But, Clinton did mention Trump by name at her Keota, IA town hall when discussing national security and the "consequences" of his rhetoric.

Clinton stood by her claim that ISIS operatives are using Donald Trump in recruitment videos for the terrorist organization.

"If you go on Arabic television, as we have, and you look at what is being blasted out, video of Mr. Trump being translated into Arabic, no Muslims coming into the United States, other kinds of derogatory, defamatory statements," Clinton said. "It is playing into the hands of the violent jihadists."

8. Is she saying that Arabic television = ISIS recruitment videos?

Ya know. This is just fucking insulting to Arabs. Most of the Arab television world are merely watching Trump on the news. Just like we do.

I've seen a few actual ISIS recruitment videos not news clips. Bill Clinton was featured on one. Many western world leaders, even Obama, are negatively portrayed in ISIS recruitment videos.
