Clinton: 'I've watched a lot of cats do a lot of weird and interesting things'

Hillary Clinton bemoaned the headlines that have emerged from the presidential election, particularly reports of Donald Trump’s disparaging rhetoric toward different groups of people.

“There’s hardly any part of America that he’s not targeted,” Clinton said of her opponent Thursday. “Now it makes you want to turn off the news. It makes you want to unplug the internet. Or just look at cat GIFs. I get it… I've watched a lot of cats do a lot of weird and interesting things. But we have a job to do and it'll be good for people and for cats.”


Trump in recent days has been dogged by a leaked 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape in which he’s heard boasting about sexually assaulting women with impunity, an issue that has damaged his standing in national and battleground state polls.

The video was compounded Wednesday by a series of allegations multiple women launched against Trump, including two women who spoke to The New York Times and a former People magazine reporter who published a first-person account. Trump has denied the charges, though, and threatened to sue The New York Times.

“The whole world has heard Trump brag about how he mistreats women. And the disturbing stories just keep coming, but it’s more than just the way he degrades women, as horrible as that is,” Clinton said. “He has attacked immigrants, African-Americans, Latinos, people with disabilities, POWs, Muslims and our military, which he’s called a disaster.”
