Donald Trump has added Hillary Clinton's use of the "women's card" to his list of irritations with the Democratic frontrunner. Following a weekend of slamming former President Bill Clinton for the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal, Trump took Hillary Clinton's accusations of sexism head on, tweeting Monday that "If Hillary thinks she can unleash her husband, with his terrible record of women abuse, while playing the women's card on me, she's wrong!"
Last week, Clinton told The Des Moines Register that, "[Trump] has to answer for what he says, and I assume that others will make the larger point about his language. It's not the first time he's demonstrated a penchant for sexism. Again, I'm not sure anybody's surprised that he keeps pushing the envelope."
