Trump Attacks Clinton Aide Huma Abedin
Recently, presidential candidate Donald Trump publicly attacked Hillary Clinton’s long-term aide Huma Abedin. Trump, seeking defects in Clinton’s campaign alongside her email scandal, claims Abedin’s husband Anthony Weiner is “the worst deviant in the United States.” Trump is so desperate to attack Clinton that he’s using personal information about Abedin’s husband, a former congressman, to initiate trouble in Clinton’s campaign, which is utterly ridiculous.
In 2011, Weiner resigned from Congress after he mistakenly tweeted a sexually suggestive picture that was meant to be privately shared. Subsequently, Weiner claimed his account had been hacked. According to The Guardian, “In 2013, [Weiner] launched an unsuccessful attempt to be elected mayor of New York City. The campaign collapsed when it was revealed that he had continued to send explicit photographs to women on the Internet, [using an alternate username].”
Trump used such information to cause trouble in Clinton’s campaign. He claimed that there was less than “5% chance that she’s not telling Anthony Weiner, now of a public relations firm, what the hell is coming across her desk.”
Clinton’s spokesman Nick Merrill said, “Donald Trump has spent the summer saying offensive things about women…He should be ashamed of himself, and others in his own party should take a moment to stand up to him and draw the line for once.”
