Donald Trump debuted a new nickname for Hillary Clinton on Monday calling her “Hillary Rotten Clinton.”

[dcquiz] During a campaign rally in Roanoke, Virginia alongside his running mate Mike Pence, Trump said, “Why did Hillary get rid of her middle name? Huh? Hillary? No, but why did she get rid of it? Hillary Rotten Clinton, Rotten Clinton. Hillary Rotten Clinton, right? Maybe that’s why, it’s too close. No, no, it’s too close, it’s too close.”

“You think Mike Pence would say this,” Trump went on to wonder. “I don’t think so.”

Trump was playing off Clinton’s maiden name of Rodham. During his rally, Trump still referred to Clinton as “Crooked Hillary.”
