Katrina Pierson: If Hillary Clinton Goes After Trump As A Sexist, He Will Bring Up Bill Clinton And Lewinsky
MSNBC: Katrina Pierson, Trump campaign spokesperson, says the Republican base needs to support Donald Trump because he is the front runner in the Republican presidential race.
STEVE KORNACKI, MSNBC: There is a report here in the New York Times this morning that suggests that your campaign is saying that Donald Trump may return to the attacks that he launched against Bill and Hillary Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal. This is how Donald Trump started to talk about this a few months ago and pulled back. This was trump a few months ago. Let me ask you about it.
TRUMP: Trust me. They don't want to run against Trump. She wants to accuse me of things and the husband is one of the great abusers of the world? Give me a break.
KORNACKI: Is that something you are getting ready to bring up, Monica Lewinsky?
KATRINA PIERSON, TRUMP CAMPAIGN: I think that depends on Hillary Clinton. This came about because she called Donald Trump a sexist.
It boggles my mind that if a woman is criticized that makes you a sexist.
That's just simply not the case. If Hillary Clinton or her team wants to go after Donald Trump, he will absolutely bring up that topic. There is a lot to discuss that was not brought out.
KORNACKI: Do you think that is where she is and do you believe that at this point she is attacking him in a way that would warrant him bringing up those issues?
PIERSON: Not at this point, but this was in response to an attack that she launched calling him a sexist and misogynist… That is all he wants to run on.
KORNACKI: Also news here, Corey Lewandowski from your campaign saying that you guys have a plan here to go after supporters of Bernie Sanders. What does that mean? How do you appeal to a Bernie Sanders voter?
PIERSON: I 'm not sure that we are going after Bernie Sanders supporters. We are going after all voters. We have a lot of supporters who are coming to the campaign asking for clarification.
If you are against government corruption and globalization and transnational corporations and global banks overhauling sovereignty, that's a trigger issue.
