Hillary Clinton may find it difficult to maintain her New Year's resolution after this one.

In a new Instagram video from Donald Trump — introduced with a message on Twitter and Instagram saying "Hillary and her friends!" — the Republican presidential candidate pulled no punches in his ongoing battle with her over charges of sexism.

As an excerpt from Clinton's famous speech on women's rights to a U.N. conference in 1995 held in China plays in the background, an image of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky is shown, followed by a newspaper front page from 1998 shortly after the 42nd president admitted to a relationship with the former White House intern.

Next up, an image of Hillary Clinton speaking in front of Anthony Weiner, the former New York congressman who was embroiled in a sexting scandal. Weiner is married to Huma Abedin, a long-time aide to Clinton.

Finally, the video concludes with a smiling Clinton standing next to Bill Cosby at an event that's clearly many years ago. Cosby, of course, has been accused by more than 50 women of sexual assault stretching back decades and was recently charged for an alleged 2004 assault. After the Cosby photo is shown, text is displayed that says "true defender of women's rights."

GOP women urge Trump to drop talk of Bill Clinton sex scandals

Clinton said in recent days that her New Year's resolution was to no longer respond to attacks from Trump, who has ramped up his missives against the Clintons after Hillary Clinton told The Des Moines Register in a December interview that the New York billionaire had "demonstrated a penchant for sexism."

Earlier this week, Trump said on MSNBC's Morning Joe that he would continue bringing up 1990s-era sex scandals involving former president Bill Clinton only if the Democratic front-runner continued accusing him of being sexist.
