Clinton on Trump's debate strategy: He tried to 'literally stalk me around the stage'
Don't worry, everyone: She knew he was there.
Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres for the Friday episode of the host's eponymous show, Hillary Clinton addressed the talk about Donald Trump's looming presence behind her on the debate stage at this week's presidential debate. Because of the release two days before of audio of Trump graphically discussing forcing himself on women, Clinton said her Republican rival was "really all wrought up, and you could sense how much anger he had."
That anger, Clinton told DeGeneres, had him "really trying to dominate" the debate hall — and prompted him to "literally stalk me around the stage. And I would just feel this presence behind me, and I thought, 'Whoa, this is really weird.'" Trump, for his part, dismissed the whole thing by saying the "last space I want to invade is her space."
