Hillary Clinton: Donald Trump’s Megyn Kelly comments ‘outrageous’ — but so are GOP policies

By Eliza Collins and Gabriel Debenedetti

Hillary Clinton thinks that Donald Trump’s comments about Fox host Megyn Kelly were “outrageous” but so are Republican policies about women.

“I’m just going to leave my comments where they are,” Clinton said to reporters after a town hall in Exeter, New Hampshire, on Monday. “I thought what he said was offensive, and I certainly think that it determines the kind of reaction that it’s getting from so many others.

“But I think if we focus on that, we’re making a mistake,” she said. “What a lot of the men on that stage in that debate said was offensive.”

Clinton then took aim at Sen. Marco Rubio. During the Fox News GOP debate Thursday, Rubio said he never said he supported a rape and incest exception to abortion bans.

“The Republicans get to choose their nominee and they will have to make that decision, but … when one of their major candidates, a much younger man, the senator from Florida, says there should be no exception for rape and incest, that is as offensive and as troubling a comment as you can hear from a major candidate running for the presidency,” Clinton said. “So the language may be more colorful and more offensive, but the thinking, the attitude toward women, is very much the same.”

Clinton also touched on Trump’s comments about buying politicians. During the debate, he said Clinton came to his wedding because he told her to come.

“She had no choice because I gave to a foundation,” he said.

“I didn’t know him that well,” she said. “I mean I knew him and I happened to be planning to be in Florida, so I decided to go to his wedding, because it’s always entertaining. Now that he’s running for president, it’s a little more troubling.”
