President Donald Trump on Saturday slammed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, calling his Democratic former opponent the "worst and biggest loser of all time" and urging her to run again in 2020.
"She just can’t stop, which is so good for the Republican Party," the president wrote on Twitter. "Hillary, get on with your life and give it another try in three years!"
Clinton on Friday told liberal magazine Mother Jones she thinks Russian interference in the campaign creates questions about the "legitimacy" of Trump's victory, further lamenting that there is no avenue for a candidate to contest the results of the election.
Also Friday, Clinton blasted Trump and Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore for refusing to apologize to the women who have accused them of sexual assault and harassment.
The former Democratic standard bearer contrasted the two Republicans' responses with Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.), who has asked for an Senate ethics investigation into allegations he groped a female broadcaster in 2006 while on a USO tour. Franken has apologized to Leeann Tweeden, the broadcaster.
Trump has criticized Franken, who he dubbed "Al Frankenstien" on Twitter, pointing out that the photo of the senator appearing to grope Tweeden while she was asleep was "really bad, speaks a thousand words." But the president's harangue of Franken also caused commentators to bring up the more than a dozen women who accused Trump of sexual assault during the presidential campaign.
The White House on Friday argued there is a clear difference between Trump and Franken since the senator apologized and admitted his actions were wrong, something the president, who continues to deny the allegations, has not done.
"I think in one case specifically, Senator Franken has admitted wrongdoing, and the president hasn’t,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters. “I think that’s a very clear distinction."
While Trump responded to the Franken story within one day, he has not joined many of his fellow Republicans in condemning Moore since allegations came to light almost two weeks ago. A former state Supreme Court chief justice, Moore has been accused by multiple women of harassment and assault when he was in his 30s. One woman, Beverly Young Nelson, on Monday alleged Moore tried to sexually assault her when she was a teenager.
Sanders has said the president takes the allegations "seriously," but believes voters in Alabama are best suited to render their judgment through the special election.
Trump also retweeted praise of his decision to delay the reversal of rule that would have allowed hunters to import elephant hunting trophies from two African countries. The president tweeted Friday night that the policy decision would be delayed after its announcement sparked intense blowback from a wide range of organizations and even some Trump supporters.
There are no public events listed on the president's Saturday schedule.
