Republican candidate Donald Trump has labelled former President Bill Clinton the “greatest woman abuser of all time” as part of a savage attack against his wife and the Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.
Speaking to Chris Cuomo on CNN, he said: “During the course of the debate and many other times, she [Mrs Clinton] used the word ‘sexist,’ I’m sexist.” She was using some very derogatory terms. How the hell can she do that when she has one of the great woman abusers of all time sitting at her house, waiting for her for dinner?”
Mr Cuomo pointed out that Mr Trump’s morality appears to "shift based on his motivations", as Mr Trump previously criticised the focus on Monica Lewinsky and Mr Clinton’s sex life.
Mr Trump's outburst follows earlier comments against Mr Clinton, saying he had a “penchant for sexism”.
Mr Trump has been accused of sexism himself. He has said that Muslim women wear the headscarf to avoid putting on make-up. He was also accused of trying to woo 45-year-old Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, and called Presidential candidate Carly Fiorina “beautiful” in a magazine interview, but unlikely to gain any votes.
In the same television interview, Mr Trump called in an advert for a temporary ban of Muslims from the US due to recent Islamic extremist activity, and has also demanded that the Mexicans pay for a wall to block Muslims from the country.
“Mexicans are making a fortune from this country, left and right,” Trump said.
