Trump: Clinton is a 'terrible example' for my son

Donald Trump said Monday that Hillary Clinton is a “terrible example” for America’s children, including his own young son.

“You know, I have a son named Barron, and I wanna tell you: She is a terrible example for my son and for the children in this country,” Trump told supporters at a rally in Warren, Michigan. “That, I can tell you.”


The Republican presidential nominee was seizing on Clinton’s email saga, including the FBI’s announcement Friday that it was reviewing new emails related to its investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state and a WikiLeaks revelation that showed Clinton’s campaign received questions from now-interim Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile ahead of a CNN primary debate.

CNN said it is “completely uncomfortable” with Brazile, who was also a CNN contributor, sharing questions with Clinton and that the network had accepted her resignation on Oct. 14.

“If they fire Donna Brazile, why aren’t they firing Hillary Clinton?” Trump asked. “Why is she allowed to run? Hillary Clinton is unfit and unqualified to be the president of the United States, and she’s likely to be under investigation for criminality for a very, very long time to come.”

Trump also highlighted at least one example of eroding support for his rival, who has happily touted Republicans and independents who have defected to her campaign: Doug Schoen, a pollster under former President Bill Clinton, wrote in an op-ed that it would be “very difficult, if not impossible” to vote for Clinton because he’s convinced America would “be facing the very real possibility of a constitutional crisis with many dimensions and deleterious consequences should Secretary Clinton win the election.”

“In other words, we’re gonna be tied up in court for the rest of our lives with this deal,” said Trump, who read the excerpt aloud. “She’s not gonna win the election, but I’m just saying.”

“If Hillary is elected, she would be under protracted criminal investigation likely followed by the trial of a sitting president. This is just — hey, this is just what we need,” he said sarcastically. “Just what we need. And let me tell you, folks, let me tell you the way life is: They just found the 650,000 emails. One email — one email being classified or confidential — one, out of 650,000 — I guarantee you there are many. Many of the emails that were missing are in there.”

He thanked top Clinton aide Huma Abedin and her estranged husband, disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner, whose laptop prompted the note from Comey.

“Thank you, Huma. Thank you, Huma,” Trump said. “Do you think right now that Hillary Clinton is happy with the services of Huma? I don’t think so. I don’t think she likes Huma. And I never thought we’d be saying thank you to Anthony Weiner. Never thought.”

But he thanked him anyway. “Thank you, Anthony. I never liked you, Anthony,” he said. “I never liked you, but thank you very much.”
