Hillary Clinton drew laughs from supporters Monday evening by contrasting her professional background with Donald Trump’s.
“On the day that I was in the Situation Room watching the raid that brought Osama bin Laden to justice, he was hosting ‘Celebrity Apprentice,'” she said to laughs during a campaign rally in Columbus, Ohio.
The Democratic nominee’s remarks came in response to Trump’s oft-repeated claim that she has accomplished little to nothing in her 30-plus years in the public eye.
“So when Donald Trump talks about what I’ve been doing for the last 30 years, I welcome that. I welcome it because, in the 1970s, I was working to end discrimination and he was being sued by the Justice Department for racial discrimination against people in his apartments,” Clinton said.
“And in the 1980s,” she added, “I was working to improve the schools in Arkansas. To make sure that teachers were well-paid, and that the coursework was going to prepare kids for future, while he was getting a loan for $14 million from his father to start a business.”
Clinton continued, saying, “And in the 1990s, I went to the U.N. conference on women and said that, ‘women’s rights are human rights,’ while he was insulting Miss Universe Alicia Machado.”
“So if he wants to talk about what we’ve been doing for the last 30 years,” Clinton concluded to cheers, “bring it on!”
