  • In an interview with The Huffington Post on June 15, 2016, Clinton discussed national security concerns, including Donald Trump’s comments about Muslims. Clinton said, “You know, part of the radical jihadist recruitment strategy is to convince would-be recruits, here at home and around the world, that there is a clash of civilizations. So Donald Trump’s demeaning and derogatory comments about Muslims and Islam is not only counterproductive, it is dangerous. And I think most Americans really do understand that.”[1]
  • During her speech to her supporters in Brooklyn, New York, on June 7, 2016, where she claimed the Democratic nomination and sought party unity, Clinton addressed her commonality with Bernie Sanders. She said, “This has been a hard fought, deeply felt campaign. But whether you supported me or senator Sanders or one of the Republicans, we all need to keep working toward a better, stronger America. Now I know it never feels good to put your heart into a cause or a candidate you believe in and to come up short. I know that feeling well. But as we look ahead, let's remember all that United States is. … We believe that cooperation is better than conflict, unity is better division, empowerment is better than resentment and bridges are better than walls.” Clinton also discussed Donald Trump. She said, "When Donald Trump says a distinguished judge born in Indiana can't do his job because of his Mexican heritage or he mocks a reporter with disabilities or calls women pigs, it goes against everything we stand for. Because we want an America where everyone is treated with respect and where their work is valued. Donald Trump attacked the press for asking tough questions, denigrated Muslims and immigrants. He wants to win by stoking fear and rubbing salt in wounds. And reminding us daily just how great he is.”[2]
  • In a foreign policy speech on June 2, 2016, Clinton said that Donald Trump was unfit to be president because of his temperament. She said of his policies, “They’re not even really ideas: just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies. He’s not just unprepared, he’s temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability and immense responsibility. This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes — because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin.” She also questioned Trump’s “bizarre fascination with dictators and strongmen who have no love for America,” like Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.[3][4]
    • Trump called Clinton’s speech “pathetic” during a rally in California on Thursday night. “It was so sad to watch. She’s up there and supposed to be a foreign policy speech. It was a political speech, had nothing to do with foreign policy,” he continued.[5]
    • Sanders responded to Clinton’s speech in a statement on Thursday by criticizing her record as secretary of state. He said, “I agree with Secretary Clinton that Donald Trump’s foreign policy ideas are incredibly reckless and irresponsible. But when it comes to foreign policy, we cannot forget that Secretary Clinton voted for the war in Iraq, the worst foreign policy blunder in modern American history, and that she has been a proponent of regime change, as in Libya, without thinking through the consequences.”[6]
  • During a campaign event in Newark, New Jersey, on June 1, 2016, Hillary Clinton charged that Donald Trump “took advantage of vulnerable Americans” with Trump University, his education program at the center of two class-action lawsuits. “This is just more evidence that Donald Trump himself is a fraud. He is trying to scam America the way he scammed all those people at Trump U. It’s important that we recognize what he has done because that’s usually a pretty good indicator of what he will do, and on issue after issue, we see someone who is unqualified and unfit to be president of the United States,” she said.[7]
    • Trump responded on Twitter, writing, “Crooked Hillary Clinton is a fraud who has put the public and country at risk by her illegal and very stupid use of e-mails. Many missing!”[8]
  • While campaigning in California on May 24, 2016, Clinton questioned whether Trump has ever paid federal income tax, and she urged him to release his tax returns. She also criticized Trump for comments that he made before the “Great Recession.” Clinton said, “He actually said he was hoping for the crash that caused hard-working families in California and across America to lose their homes, all because he thought he could take advantage of it to make some money for himself.”[9]
    • Trump responded to Clinton’s attacks, saying, "Yeah, if it goes down I'm gonna buy. I'm a businessman, that's what I'm supposed to do. If it goes down it goes down. I feel badly for everybody. What am I going to do? It's business!"[10]
  • While speaking to 3,000 SEIU members in Detroit on May 23, 2016, Clinton warned that “Trump economics is a recipe for lower wages, fewer jobs, more debt. He could bankrupt America like he’s bankrupted his companies.” She continued, “Ask yourself, how can anybody lose money running a casino, really?”[11][12]
  • Clinton was interviewed by CNN’s Chris Cuomo on May 19, 2016, about the state of the presidential race and current events. Asked whether she believed Donald Trump is qualified to be president, she said, “No. I do not. And I think in this past week, whether it's attacking Great Britain, praising the leader of North Korea, a despotic dictator who has nuclear weapons, whether it is saying pull out of NATO, let other countries have nuclear weapons, the kinds of positions he is stating and the consequences of those positions and even the consequences of his statements, are not just offensive to people, they are potentially dangerous.”[13]
  • During a campaign event in Bowling Green, Kentucky, on May 16, 2016, Clinton questioned how Donald Trump would perform in a debate against her and said that he would not be able to provide specifics for how he planned to create jobs. “Maybe in the preliminaries like the Republican primary that is all they want to hear. But Americans take their vote for president seriously. They are going to be looking at that TV screen, saying, 'He still doesn't have anything to tell us? Wait a minute,’” she said.[14]
  • When asked to comment on Donald Trump’s charge that she enabled former President Bill Clinton’s infidelity, Hillary Clinton said on May 9, 2016, “I’m going to let him run his campaign however he chooses. I’m going to run my campaign, which is about a positive vision for our country with specific plans that I think will help us solve problems that we’re facing.”[15]
  • In an interview on CNN on May 4, 2016, Clinton said that she was prepared to handle attacks from presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, calling him “a classic case of a blustering, bullying guy.” She said, “If he wants to go back to the playbook of the 1990s, if he wants to follow in the footsteps of those who have tried to knock me down and take me out of the political arena, I'm more than happy to have him do that.” Clinton also debuted a new nickname for Trump, repeatedly referring to him as “a loose cannon.”[16]
  • Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta released the following statement late on May 3, 2016, after Ted Cruz dropped out of the GOP race: "Throughout this campaign, Donald Trump has demonstrated that he’s too divisive and lacks the temperament to lead our nation and the free world. While Donald Trump seeks to bully and divide Americans, Hillary Clinton will unite us to create an economy that works for everyone."[17]
  • In an interview on May 1, 2016, Clinton said she “could really care less” about Donald Trump’s attacks against her. “I have a lot of experience dealing with men who sometimes get off the reservation in the way they behave and how they speak. I’m not going to deal with their temper tantrums or their bullying or their efforts to try and provoke me,” she said. A spokeswoman later apologized on behalf of Clinton for her use of the term “off the reservation” because it “has very offensive roots.”[18][19]
  • While campaigning in Delaware on April 25, 2016, Hillary Clinton criticized Donald Trump for living a lifestyle that has left him removed from the concerns of average Americans. She said, “I have said, 'Come out of those towers named for yourself and actually talk and listen to people.' You know, at some point, if you want to be president of the United States, you gotta get familiar with the United States. You gotta spend time with Americans of all sorts and backgrounds in every part of our country.” Clinton continued, “Don't just fly that big jet in and land it, go make a big speech and insult everybody you can think of and then go back, get on that big jet, and go back to you know your country club house in Florida or your penthouse in New York.”[20]
  • On April 23, 2016, Clinton questioned the genuineness of reports from Donald Trump’s campaign that Trump was evolving to be more presidential. "Well, if we buy that, shame on us. Because he already showed us what he believes, and he has already said what he wants to do, and he wants go after every one of the rights we have,” she said. Her campaign also released a video online called “Extreme Makeover,” which highlights statements that Trump has made about immigrants, national security, and abortion rights. The clip concludes with Clinton quoting Maya Angelou, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them.”[21]
  • In a speech before the National Action Network (NAN) on April 13, 2016, Hillary Clinton discussed the “epidemic of gun violence,” referencing Bernie Sanders. “Now, my opponent, who will be speaking to you tomorrow, and I don't see this the same way. But I think this is a national emergency, and I'm going to do everything I can to take on the gun lobby and to try to save lives, the lives of the children of women like this and the sisters and the brothers and the daughters and the sons of so many others,” Clinton said.[22][23]
  • On April 12, 2016, Hillary Clinton's press secretary Brian Fallon accused Bernie Sanders of “trying to rig the system by attempting to court superdelegates currently allied with Clinton,” according to Politico. Fallon said, “Really, I think when you talk about rigging the system, that’s what Sen. Sanders is trying to do now. Hillary Clinton has won in the popular vote by a wide margin. She’s got more than 2 million votes over Sen. Sanders in all of the contests when you add them all up. … So now that’s forcing Sen. Sanders to go out and talk about the idea that he wants to try to flip superdelegates and get him to overturn the will of the people as expressed through who’s won the most contests.”[24]
  • Clinton declined to say whether she believed Bernie Sanders was a “real Democrat” in a podcast interview recorded the previous week and published on April 6, 2016. “He’s a relatively new Democrat, and, in fact, I’m not even sure he is one. He’s running as one. So I don’t know quite how to characterize him.” In the same interview, she also criticized Sanders’ for “misrepresenting” her record: “There is a persistent, organized effort to misrepresent my record, and I don’t appreciate that, and I feel sorry for a lot of the young people who are fed this list of misrepresentations. I know that Sen. Sanders spends a lot of time attacking my husband, attacking President Obama. I rarely hear him say anything negative about George W. Bush, who I think wrecked our economy.”[25]
  • In her Arizona victory speech on March 22, 2016, Clinton criticized Donald Trump’s and Ted Cruz’s response to the Brussels terrorist attacks. “The last thing we need, my friends, are leaders who incite more fear. In the face of terror, America doesn’t panic. We don’t build walls or turn our backs on our allies,” she said. Speaking to Cruz’s proposal to monitor Muslims, specifically, Clinton said, “Ted Cruz, who said we need to be policing everywhere Muslims live. I don't know about you; that is not only offensive that too is dangerous. Because we want everybody to feel together on our common defense against terrorism.” [26][27]
  • During a televised town hall on March 14, 2016, Clinton accused Donald Trump of using “dangerous” rhetoric to incite violence. She said, "When you are inciting mob violence, which is what Trump is doing, there's a lot of memories that people have. They're in the DNA. People remember mob violence that lead to lynching, people remember mob violence that lead to people being shot, being grabbed, being mistreated. And it's something that has a deep, almost psychological resonance to people who have ever been in any position of feeling somewhat fearful, somewhat worried."[28]
  • On March 12, 2016, Hillary Clinton questioned where Bernie Sanders was during the early 1990s when she was fighting for healthcare reform. A staffer for Sanders’ campaign tweeted in response that he was “literally standing right behind her” and posted a video of Clinton and Sanders together on stage during an address about healthcare.[29]
  • Sanders criticized Clinton on March 11, 2016, for her relationship with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D). He said, “Hillary Clinton proudly lists Mayor Rahm Emanuel as one of her leading mayoral endorsers. Well let me be as clear as I can be. Based on his disastrous record as mayor of the city of Chicago, I do not want Mayor Emanuel's endorsement if I win the Democratic nomination." He then called on Clinton to reject the endorsement.[30]
  • During a rally for Hillary Clinton featuring former President Bill Clinton as a surrogate, a protester accused the Clintons of accepting money from Donald Trump. Bill Clinton responded, “I certainly did. I took his money for my foundation and used it better than he’s using it now.” He continued, “I remember when he called me to say how terrible the Republicans had been to Hillary and me and how unfair they were and what a brilliant job Hillary did as a senator. By the way, a lot of them called me about that, which is why they spent the last three years trying to tear her down because they know if they nominate her they are going to have to eat the words they said.”[31]
  • Clinton noted on February 8, 2016, that Sanders had taken $200,000 from Wall Street through the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC). “You know, there is nothing wrong with that. It hasn’t changed his view, well it didn’t change my view or my vote either,” Clinton said. Sanders spokesman Jeff Weaver responded, “Bernie appreciates the help he has gotten from the DSCC, whose funds come from millions of Americans’ individual contributions, labor organizations, environmental groups, women’s organizations and others. To say that every nickel that Bernie received came from Wall Street is beyond preposterous.”[32]
  • On February 7, 2016, Bill Clinton, a surrogate for his wife Hillary, went on the offensive against Sanders. According to Politico, Clinton labeled Sanders “the champion of all things small and the enemy of all things big,” among other names. He also accused the candidate of hypocrisy, double standards, and affiliation with “Bernie Bros,” who have made sexist remarks. He then criticized how Sanders handled the December breach of the DNC’s database, saying, “It was your campaign that made 25 separate inquiries in the mere space of 30 minutes trying to [loot] information out of computers… In private [his campaign] sent an email complaining [about the DNC] leaving the keys in the car, and said, all I did was drive off.”[33] Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager, responded, “It’s unfortunate that President Clinton is choosing to engage in the kind of negative attacks that he is on the eve of the New Hampshire primary. Clearly this is a sign that the Clinton campaign is very concerned about the state of the race and the fact that recent national polls have shown that this is really a race that is down to one or two percentage points difference.”[34]
  • Clinton said on February 3, 2016, that she and Trump “were not friends.” She continued, "We knew each other, obviously, in New York. I knew a lot of people."[35]
  • At a campaign event in New Hampshire on February 2, 2016, Bill Clinton said, "Barack Obama is not Sanders, let's not play cheap games here.” Noting that some of Sanders’ policy positions are different from some Democratic voters, he continued, "[Hillary Clinton] and President Obama had enormous overlap on what they wanted to do and how they wanted to do it.”[36]
  • During a campaign event in Iowa on January 21, 2016, Clinton emphasized the feasibility of her policy plans in comparison to Sanders’. She said, "I'll tell you, I'm not interested in ideas that sound good on paper but will never make it in the real world. I care about making a real difference in your life. And that gets us to the choice that you have to make in this caucus. Now, Senator Sanders and I share many of the same goals, but we have different records and different ideas about how to drive progress."[37]
  • On January 20, 2016, Bill Clinton criticized Sanders for calling Planned Parenthood part of the “establishment.” He said, “If you elect Hillary president, it will be a great day when you stop her from defunding Planned Parenthood. Hillary Clinton does not consider Planned Parenthood a member of the establishment.” Bill also compared Hillary’s healthcare plan to Sanders’. He said, “On health care, Hillary thinks we should remember how important the Affordable Care Act is. Her opponent says, no, we should scrap that and go into a single-payer system.”
  • David Brock, founder of “Correct the Record,” a pro-Clinton super PAC, on January 19, 2016, questioned Sanders’ electability because of his connection with Socialism. Brock said on Bloomberg TV’s With all Due Respect, “He’s a socialist … He’s got a 30 year history of affiliation with a lot of whack-doodle ideas and parties. Think about what the Republicans will do with the fact that he’s a socialist in the fall.” Michael Briggs, a spokesman for Sanders campaign, responded to Brock’s comments, saying, “That might be a remotely interesting observation if Sen. Sanders had not been identified as a democratic socialist thousands and thousands of times in the past year alone on television, on the Internet and in print. Despite that, polling now shows Sen. Sanders is a far stronger general election candidate against any and all the Republicans than is Sec. Clinton.”[38]
  • On January 14, 2016, Clinton’s campaign accused Sanders of “going negative” in his ad titled “Two Visions,” which presents two Democratic visions of how to reform Wall Street. When Sanders launched his campaign, he promised he would not run negative ads, and he reiterated that on the evening of January 14, 2016: "I have never run a negative radio or television ad in my life. It is my very strong hope that I never will.” Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said, “We were very surprised today to see that Bernie Sanders had launched a negative television advertisement against Hillary.” Sanders replied, “This is not a negative ad. Everybody knows that there are two visions within the Democratic Party. There is the vision with those people who fought to deregulate Wall Street, who are very tight with Wall Street, and those who fought very hard against that deregulation and want to break up the banks. That is what that ad says. And it clear which side I am on."[39] [40]
  • In response to Trump calling former President Bill Clinton “one of the great abusers of the world,” Clinton said on January 10, 2016, "Didn't work before, won't work again." She added, “He can say whatever he wants to about me. Let the voters judge that, but I am not going to let him or any of the other Republicans rip away the progress that women have made. It's been too hard fought for and I'm going to stand up and make it clear there's a huge difference between us."[41]
  • According to CNN, Clinton has begun to cast Sanders as unelectable in her stump speeches. She said in Iowa on January 4, 2016, “I am absolutely determined that we're going to make sure we have a Democrat to succeed President Obama so we don't let the Republicans rip away the progress we have made together.” She warned that since a Republican president would “reverse all of President Obama's executive orders,” it “really matters who is sitting in the Oval Office."[42]
  • Hillary Clinton refused to discuss Trump at a campaign event in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on January 4, 2016. She said, “I've adopted a New Year's resolution. I'll let him live in his alternative reality. I'm not going to respond."[43]
  • Clinton delivered his first speech on the campaign trail as a surrogate for his wife, Hillary Clinton, on January 4, 2016. Speaking to supporters in New Hampshire, Clinton said, “I do not believe in my lifetime anybody has run for this job at a moment of great importance who was better qualified by knowledge, experience and temperament to do what needs to be done now to restore prosperity, to deal with these human issues, to make us as safe as possible." Despite Trump’s criticism of Bill Clinton, the former president declined to directly comment on him or his attacks. When asked about Trump, Clinton said, “The Republicans have to decide who they want to nominate. I think there's always attempts to take the election away from the people."[44]
  • After Trump accused former President Bill Clinton of having a “terrible record of women abuse,” Hillary Clinton campaign spokeswoman Christina Reynolds released the following statement on December 28, 2015: “Though Donald Trump has pushed around nearly all of his fellow Republicans, Hillary Clinton won't be bullied or distracted by attacks he throws at her and former President Clinton. But when his insults are directed at women, immigrants, Asian-Americans, Muslims, the disabled, or hard working Americans looking to raise their wages - Hillary Clinton will stand up to him, as she has from the beginning. Donald Trump's words are demeaning, his policies are just as destructive.”[45]
  • When asked what she would say to “disillusioned” Sanders' supporters, Clinton said on December 22, 2015, “I think it's very dangerous to look at the alternatives and believe that your staying home is a responsible choice. It's hard for me to believe that anybody who would support Senator Sanders would want to see any of the Republicans elected president of the United States. I would just ask that when this nomination is wrapped up that they come and join with us to make sure that we don't turn the White House back over to the Republicans.”[46]
  • In response to Trump’s comment that Clinton had been “schlonged” in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton's director of communications, tweeted on December 22, 2015, “We are not responding to Trump but everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should. #imwithher.”[47]
  • In response to Trump’s demand that Clinton apologize for saying at the third Democratic presidential primary debate, on December 19, 2015, that Trump was “becoming ISIS’ best recruiter,” a Clinton spokesman said on December 21, 2015, “Hell no. Hillary Clinton will not be apologizing to Donald Trump for correctly pointing out how his hateful rhetoric only helps ISIS recruit more terrorists.”[48]
  • Speaking at the National Immigration Integration Conference on December 14, 2015, Clinton challenged Marco Rubio’s and Trump’s positions on immigration reform. She said Rubio was moving to “extremes and away from the rest of America.” Invoking Trump’s campaign slogan, she also said, “You see I disagree with those who say make America great. We are great and we’re going to stay great, and we’re going to get greater. … They promise if elected to round and deport millions of people, build a mammoth wall, militarize the border, tear families apart. And after the terror shootings in San Bernardino, Calif. at a time when a lot of Americans are fearful about future attacks here at home, some candidates are even stroking those fears more and turning people against Muslim Americans.”[49]
  • In an interview on NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyer on December 10, 2015, Clinton said Trump’s rhetoric had shifted from “funny” to “dangerous.” She said, “I think for weeks you and everybody else were just bringing folks to hysterical laughter, but now he has gone way over the line. And what he is saying now is not only shameful and wrong, it is dangerous."
  • On December 8, 2015, Clinton criticized Trump’s plan to ban Muslims from entering the country, and she attempted to tie all Republicans to Trump’s plan. She said, “Their language may be more veiled than Trump’s, but their ideas are not so different. They are all driving the same argument that jihadists are trying to advance – that we are at war not with barbarous jihadists but with an entire religion.”[50]
  • Clinton’s campaign criticized Ted Cruz on December 7, 2015, for holding a hearing on the credibility of climate change theory. “Cruz may be the latest candidate to use his office to stoke doubts about climate change, but virtually all the Republicans running for president share his commitment to denial and defeatists. After seven years of progress fighting climate change — and leading other nations to the table to agree to meaningful pollution cuts, energy reforms and real progress on protecting our planet — we can’t afford to put one of these deniers, one of these doubters, in the White House,” said Clinton’s campaign chair John Podesta in a statement.[51]
  • On December 6, 2015, Clinton condemned Cruz’s recommendation to “carpet bomb” the Islamic State. She said, “He's never had any responsibility for trying to figure out who the bad guys are and who innocent civilians are.”[52]
  • Clinton’s campaign sent an email to supporters on December 1, 2015, challenging Ted Cruz’s statement that he had “never met anybody—any conservative—who wants to ban contraceptives” and listing five instances where Cruz advocated for policies that would limit women’s access to birth control. “Hey, Ted Cruz? Let us introduce you to one conservative trying to limit access to contraceptives. His name is Ted Cruz,” the email reads. A Cruz spokesman responded, “The Clinton team must be reading the same polls we are that show Cruz rising, so it is not surprising she would attack. That’s all she can do because she has no ideas of her own.”[53] [54]
  • Clinton criticized Sanders’ proposal to raise taxes as part of his single-payer healthcare plan during a rally on November 17, 2015. She said, “I don’t see how you can be serious about raising working and middle class families' incomes if you also want to slap new taxes on them—no matter what the taxes will pay for. ...I was actually the only one on that debate stage who will commit to raising your wages and not your taxes.” In response, Sanders' spokesman Michael Briggs said, “Clinton tried to use the tragedy of 9/11 as a political excuse for her coziness with Wall Street interests, including the millions she has received in Wall Street campaign funding over her career. That defense of the Clinton campaign’s corporate fundraising has been widely assailed in the media and on social media. In an attempt to divert the public’s gaze from Wall Street coziness, the Clinton campaign has launched a false attack on universal health care—something she has previously supported."[55]
  • On October 8, 2015, Lincoln Chafee characterized Hillary Clinton’s newly announced opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership as “a flip-flop.” He added, "I guess I'm the only Democratic candidate for president standing strong with President Obama on this issue.”[56]
  • In response to Jeb Bush’s statement that Democrats offer “free stuff” to black voters in exchange for their support, Clinton said on September 28, 2015, “I think people are seeing this for what it is: Republicans lecturing people of color instead of offering real solutions to help people get ahead, including facing up to hard truths about race and justice in America.” She added that Republicans “have no problem promising tax breaks and sweetheart deals to their corporate friends.”[57]
  • On September 24, 2015, Trump defended his use of the word “shrill” to describe Clinton. “I know men that are shrill and it's just an expression that I thought of as I was speaking. I thought it was a very accurate expression would call Rand Paul shrill. I think he's shrill. I don't think that's a term that applies exclusively to women at all,” said Trump.[58]
  • On September 23, 2015, Martin O'Malley criticized Clinton for waiting so long to make a statement in support of the U.S. receiving more Syrian refugees. “It's kind of the pattern of this campaign: We lead and she follows public opinion polls," O'Malley said. "I believe there's a big difference between forging a new consensus and putting your finger to the wind." He also described Clinton as “a specialist at vaguely saying things" in a Salon interview published the following day.[59][60]
  • In a September 2015 interview with People, Carly Fiorina said she had “enormous admiration for Hillary Clinton.” She added, “We as women, especially in presidential politics, need to play by the same rules as the men. If we want to play this game as equals, we need to play by the same rules, and that means our track record is relevant. And so I never make a personal comment about Hillary Clinton – my criticism of her is fact-based, based on her actions and track record. And that is fair game."[61]
  • On September 20, 2015, Rand Paul said Hillary Clinton was partly to blame for the refugee crisis in the Middle East because she supported providing weapons to Syrian rebels without any way to screen out members of al Qaeda and al Nusra and future ISIS supporters.[62]
  • On September 15, 2015, Clinton retweeted a caption of Jeb Bush’s “anchor babies” comment and subsequently tweeted, “While others attack, insult, and denigrate—today we proudly celebrate the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month. Sí se puede.”[63]
  • On September 14, 2015, Clinton tweeted against Scott Walker’s union policies: “Unions help keep working families strong. Scott Walker's attacks on unions and workers' rights aren't leadership—they're bullying.” On the same day, she released a video asserting that victims of sexual assault have the right to be heard and supported.[63]
  • Walker responded to Clinton’s tweeted criticism of his position on unions by tweeting back on September 14, 2015, “.@HillaryClinton Actually, we're protecting the American worker from being forced to support candidates like you.”[64]
  • Chris Christie compared his conduct after Bridgegate to Clinton's during the investigation into her private email server on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on September 13, 2015. He said, “What really matters, as Hillary Clinton is finding out, is how you react to a crisis. Not that there never will be any crises, but how you react to it. When we had a crisis, the next day I went out and took questions for an hour and 15 minutes, no holds barred. Let’s wait to see if Mrs. Clinton every does one-fifth of that on her crisis.”[65]
  • Clinton suggested on September 10, 2015, that Scott Walker “gets his marching orders from the Koch brothers and just goes down the list.” She added, “Governor Walker thinks because he busts unions, starves universities, guts public education, demeans women, scapegoats teachers, nurses, and firefighters, he is some kind of tough guy on a motorcycle, a real leader. Well, that is not leadership folks. Leadership means fighting for the people you represent."[66]
  • On September 8, 2015, Clinton praised Joe Biden in an interview on ABC News. “I like Joe Biden a lot, and I think he is a great vice president. I think he could be a great president. There’s no doubt about that.” She declined to comment on any potential competition between them for the Democratic nomination, saying, “We shouldn’t get into the politics of this back and forth because I don’t think it’s fair to him. He's testing the waters. He deserves to test the waters. … If he gets into this election, there’ll be lots of time to talk about what he wants to do.”[67]
  • Carly Fiorina suggested on September 7, 2015, she was the only candidate assertively criticizing Clinton. “For heaven's sakes, I actually wish Mr. Trump would throw a little more heat Hillary Clinton's way. I feel sometimes as though I'm the only candidate who's consistently been critical of her,” Fiorina said. Speaking to Clinton’s employment of Bryan Pagliano, a State Department staffer, to work on her private email server, Fiorina added, “[T]hat actually takes a lot of work and lot of effort. And so I don't think it's plausible for her to say, 'Oh, I wasn't paying any attention.' She clearly was paying attention.”[68]
  • In a radio interview on September 6, 2015, Paul said Clinton was “dishonest” during her testimony at a Senate hearing on Benghazi in 2013. “The Clintons aren’t famous for revealing information. They are mostly famous for hiding information. … [I]n that exchange, she indicated that she had no knowledge of any of this going on. It wasn’t just that I should talk to the CIA. She indicated that she had no knowledge of this. And I believe that to be dishonest. I think she did have every bit of knowledge of what was going on,” Paul said.[69]
  • Donald Trump responded to Clinton's criticism that he “dismisses women” by tweeting on September 5, 2015, that she read from a teleprompter and was “100% controlled” by special interest money.[70]
  • In an interview with Breitbart on August 31, 2015, Walker said he would succeed in the general election against Clinton or Joe Biden. “To me, if Joe Biden gets in, he doesn’t face some of the same scandals that she faces, but ultimately one of the strengths I bring to the table against either Clinton or Biden is that Americans want a new fresh face not a name from the past. … Clinton and Biden both embody everything that’s wrong with Washington. I think Americans, more than anything, want someone who’s actually gotten something done. Neither of them can point to much of anything other than years of being in public life. I think that’s where we offer contrast to either one of them. We’re ready, whether it’s Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden, we can take them,” Walker said.[71]
  • On August 28, 2015, Mike Huckabee responded to Clinton's suggestion that Republicans’ view on women’s issues were similar to that of terrorist groups. He said, “I’ll tell you what terrorists do. Terrorists cut people’s heads off, and that’s what they do in the Planned Parent[hood] clinics. And if she wants to talk about protecting women, what about protecting the women who thought they were going in for a procedure to remove a mass of tissue, and in fact, a baby with a heartbeat, arms, legs, toes, and eyeballs, was hacked to death, and the parts sold, without that woman understanding that she had been exploited, she had been used, and somebody had made money off of her grief? If that’s Hillary’s definition of taking care of women, then I certainly hope I’m the one who gets an opportunity to stand on the stage and debate here about a year from now.”[72]
  • On August 26, Clinton said of a potential presidential run by Joe Biden, “Vice President Biden is a friend of mine. He and I were colleagues in the Senate, I worked with him as first lady, I worked with him in President Obama’s first term, and I have a great deal of admiration and respect for him. I think he has to make what is a very difficult decision for himself and his family, and he should have the space and opportunity to decide what he wants to do.”[73]
  • In an interview on MSNBC on August 24, 2015, Chris Christie said Clinton "deserves to be pounded" for her use of a private email server. "The fact is she doesn’t think she’s accountable to the American people because she won’t answer questions," he added.[74]
  • NBC’s Chuck Todd asked Carly Fiorina on August 23, 2015, if she still admired Clinton. She responded, “In many ways I do. She's a hardworking woman. She's an intelligent woman. She has dedicated herself to public service. It is also true, however, that she is not trustworthy, that she has lied about some key things. Benghazi, her emails, her server.”[75]
  • On August 15, 2015, Clinton responded to Jeb Bush’s criticism that the Obama administration had created instability in Iraq. “I find it somewhat curious that Jeb Bush is doubling down on - defending - his brother's actions in Iraq. But if he's going to do that, he should present the entire picture. And the entire picture, as you know, includes the agreement George W. Bush made with the Maliki government in Iraq that set the end of 2011 as the date to withdraw American troops,” Clinton said during a press conference.[76]
  • Fiorina wrote an op-ed for CNN on August 13, 2015, asking Clinton to “please name an accomplishment.” Fiorina said, “I'm sure Democrats and the Clinton Machine will continue to use empty talking points and bumper sticker rhetoric against me because they know Hillary Clinton is the status quo. She is the epitome of a professional political class that has managed a bloated, inept, corrupt federal government for far too long."[77]
  • At the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on August 11, 2015, Jeb Bush attacked Hillary Clinton for her role in “creating the void that ISIS moved in to fill” in the Middle East. “In all her record-setting travels, she stopped by Iraq exactly once. Who can seriously argue that America and our friends are safer today than in 2009, when the President and Secretary Clinton — the storied ‘team of rivals’ — took office? So eager to be the history-makers, they failed to be the peacemakers,” a pre-released version of Bush’s remarks read.[78][79]
  • Mike Huckabee criticized Hillary Clinton’s “New College Compact” for being an overreach of federal authority. “While Hillary Clinton proposes government bailouts for states, government handouts for schools and band-aides for irresponsibility, $350 billion in new government spending is no way to solve a college debt crisis that is crushing American families. Higher education, like K-12, is a state function, not a federal one. And Governors can deal with this far better than Hillary,” Huckabee said in a statement on August 10, 2015.
  • Bush also criticized Clinton’s “New College Compact" in a statement released on his campaign website on August 10, 2015. “We don’t need more top-down Washington solutions that will raise the cost of college even further and shift the burden to hardworking taxpayers. We need to change the incentives for colleges with fresh policies that result in more individualization and choices, drive down overall costs, and improve the value of a college degree, which will help lead to real, sustained four-percent economic growth,” Bush said.[80]
  • Marco Rubio responded to Clinton’s accusation this his abortion position was “offensive and troubling” by issuing the following statement on August 10, 2015: “Hillary Clinton supports abortion even at the stage when an unborn child can feel pain; she has defended partial birth abortions as a ‘fundamental right;’ she opposes requiring parents to be notified that their minor daughter is having an abortion; she supports funding Planned Parenthood even after they have been exposed for their role in selling the organs of unborn children; and she supports using taxpayer money to pay for abortions overseas. Hillary Clinton holds radical views on abortion that we look forward to exposing in the months to come.”[81]
  • During a campaign stop in Vermont on August 11, 2015, Clinton accused Scott Walker of cutting funding for higher education in Wisconsin. “[Walker] seems to be delighted in slashing higher education in his state, in making it more difficult for students to get scholarships and pay off their debt, eliminating opportunities for young people who are doctors or dentists to actually work in underserved areas in return for having their debt relieved, ending scholarships for poor kids,” Clinton said.[82]
  • On August 10, 2015, Clinton explained why she attended Donald Trump’s wedding in 2005. “I didn’t know him that well. … I happened to be planning to be in Florida and I thought it would be fun to go to his wedding because it is always entertaining. Now that he is running for president it is a little more troubling," she said.[83]
  • Appearing on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on August 9, 2015, Bernie Sanders claimed some attacks against Hillary Clinton were “sexist.” He said, “I can't think of many personalities who have been attacked for more reasons than Hillary Clinton. And, by the way, let me be frank. And I'm running against her. Some of it is sexist. I don't know that a man would be treated the same way that Hillary is.”[84]
  • At the Republican presidential debate on August 6, 2015, Marco Rubio said extensive experience could not be the sole requirement to win the election. “[T]his election cannot be a resume competition. It’s important to be qualified, but if this election is a resume competition, then Hillary Clinton’s gonna be the next president, because she’s been in office and in government longer than anybody else running here tonight. Here’s what this election better be about: This election better be about the future, not the past,” Rubio stated.[85]
  • On August 6, 2015, Ben Carson said, "If Hillary is the candidate, which I doubt, that would be a dream come true. But you know, the fact of the matter is, she is the epitome of the progressive — the secular progressive movement. And she counts on the fact that people are uninformed, the Alinsky Model, taking advantage of useful idiots. Well, I just happen to believe that people are not stupid. And the way I will come at it is to educate people, help people to actually understand that it is that progressive movement that is causing them the problems.”[86]
  • On August 6, 2015, Graham suggested Clinton changed her position on Planned Parenthood because she believed Joe Biden would enter the race. “Last week [Clinton] said, 'These videos were very disturbing.' This week she said, 'I stand firmly with Planned Parenthood.' Translated: She thinks Joe Biden's running — that's why she flipped. I think he's gonna run, if she doesn't up her game," Graham said.[87]
  • In an interview with The Hill on August 5, 2015, Martin O'Malley claimed party insiders were pushing Hillary Clinton forward as the Democratic frontrunner. “There's an effort by a few insiders to try to limit the number of debates that we have and I've shared with the chair – Debbie Wasserman Schultz – that I think that’s a grave mistake and I think it's undemocratic,” O’Malley said. He added that the Clintons were part of this inside group, saying, “President and Secretary Clinton are the most colossal, prolific fundraising couple in the history of representative democracies.”[88]
  • Calling himself “fluent in Clinton-speak" during the Voters First Forum on August 3, 2015, Lindsey Graham asserted Bill and Hillary Clinton were untrustworthy. “When Bill says he didn't have sex with that woman, he did. When [Hillary] says, 'I'll tell you about building the pipeline when I get to be president,' it means she won't. And when she tells us, 'Trust me, you have all the emails you need,' we haven't even scratched the surface,” Graham said.[92]
  • In a CNN interview on July 28, 2015, Lincoln Chafee said foreign policy was the issue area where he and Clinton differed the most. “She’s a hawk. She’s more of the unilateral, muscular approach to the world, which is not working, obviously. And we just have to change that. I’m more of the internationalist, strong diplomatic core, working to prevent war. What I like to say is wage peace,” Chafee said.[93]
  • Scott Walker criticized Clinton for devoting a significant amount of her time in Iowa to union leaders during a July 2015 visit. “Much of Clinton’s time was spent in meetings with union bosses. The fact that Clinton is shunning everyday Iowans in favor of big-labor special interests sends a clear message about where her true loyalties lie. For Iowans, my campaign offers a very different vision,” Walker said.[94]
  • In a major foreign policy speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on July 27, 2015, Carly Fiorina suggested Clinton’s private email server controversy demonstrated Clinton has little understanding of technology or cybersecurity, two subjects the “next president must understand.” Fiorina also criticized Clinton for failing to push back against Chinese human rights violations while secretary of state. Fiorina positioned herself, in comparison, as a decisive leader. “As president, I will not wait until things have reached the crisis level. And I will not shy away from the most important challenges facing our world today. Because without American leadership, we face two choices: regional hegemonies who challenge America or global chaos,” Fiorina said.[95]
  • On July 27, 2015, Clinton denounced Mike Huckabee’s controversial comment that the Iran nuclear deal “will take Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.” She said, “It should be repudiated by every person of good faith and concern of the necessity to keep our political dialogue on the facts and within suitable boundaries.”[96]
  • George Pataki criticized Clinton's email management during her time as secretary of state, tweeting on July 27, 2015, “Every ‘grandmother with two eyes and a brain’ knows storing sensitive classified information on a home server is dangerous @HillaryClinton.” Pataki’s tweet was a play on the phrase Clinton used in a video decrying climate change where she said, “I'm just a grandmother with two eyes and a brain and I know what's happening in the world is going to have a big effect on my daughter and especially on my granddaughter.”[97][98]
  • Discussing Clinton's alleged improper handling of classified information on a private email server in late July 2015, Paul noted it was the Obama administration that was interested in her conduct and not “Republicans making a political point.” Paul added, “Even she knew there was a rule. They actually admonished one of her ambassadors because he wasn't using the proper server. I don't understand how she can skate by and act as if she wasn't aware of the law.” Paul also charged that the “Clintons think they live above the law. They think they live differently than all the rest of America, and I think this is going to come back to bite her, and it already is.”[99][100]
  • In a July 2015 interview with Katy Tur of "NBC News," Donald Trump said, "Hillary Clinton was the worst secretary of state in the history of the United States. Hillary was the worst in the history of the United States, there’s never been a secretary of state so bad as Hillary. The world blew up around us. We lost everything, including all relationships." He added, "I think she’d be a terrible president."[102]
  • On August 24, 2014, Republican candidate Rand Paul (R-Ky.) criticized Clinton during an interview, calling her a "war hawk." He said, "I think that’s what scares the Democrats the most is that in a general election, were I to run, there’s going to be a lot of independents and even some Democrats who say we are tired of war, we’re worried that Hillary Clinton is going to get us into another Middle Eastern war because she’s so gung ho. If you want to see a transformational election in our country, let the Democrats put forward a war hawk like Hillary Clinton and you’ll see a transformation like you’ve never seen."[103]
  • On January 12, 2013, a list of Clinton's "enemies" from her 2008 presidential campaign was made public by the publishers of the book, "HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton." Included on the list were then-Senators John Kerry and Ted Kennedy, as well as Sen. Claire McCaskill.[104]
