The 2016 presidential campaign has not been for the faint of heart. Just ask Hillary Clinton.

At a fundraiser Thursday in San Francisco, the Democratic presidential nominee weighed in on the rhetoric of her Republican opponent, Donald Trump.

"The whole world has heard Trump brag about how he mistreats women," Clinton said, "and the disturbing stories just keep coming," presumably a reference to the accusations that surfaced Wednesday night from women who allege sexual misconduct by Trump.

"But it’s more than just the way he degrades women, as horrible as that is," Clinton continued. "He has attacked immigrants, African Americans, Latinos, people with disabilities, POWs, Muslims, and our military."

Trump, increasingly a party of one, turns fire on GOP as well as Democrats

She added: "There's hardly any part of America that he’s not targeted. 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."

She had some thoughts to share about cats: "I’ve watched a lot of cats do a lot of weird and interesting things."

That's certainly not a boast your hear every day from a presidential candidate. Maybe Clinton ran across this cat on the campaign trail?

Or this one?

In any case, these are serious times, and Clinton circled back to what's truly at stake.

"But we have a job to do, and it’ll be good for people and for cats," she said.
