One day after the second debate between the main candidates for the U.S. presidency, Donald Trump, who was present in a controversial video released that included vulgar comments about women, threatened to launch more attacks against the lives of Bill and Hillary Clinton. On October 19, Trump stated, "If they want to release more tapes that contain inappropriate remarks, we will continue to talk about the inappropriate actions of Bill and Hillary Clinton." The second debate between Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican candidate Donald Trump took place amid a series of verbal attacks against each other, with many serious personal accusations raised. This followed the Washington Post's release of a video from 2005 featuring Trump making vulgar comments about women and discussing his unsuccessful attempt to engage with a married woman. In response to this video, Trump has continued to attack the personal life of Bill Clinton, Hillary's husband and former U.S. president, and his extramarital affairs. He also implicates Mrs. Clinton in these accusations, labeling her as "culpable." The Republican candidate stated on Monday, "For decades, Hillary Clinton has been fully aware of her husband's predatory behavior and instead of trying to stop it, she has even facilitated it, allowing him to assault more women." Trump then accused his rival of hypocrisy in her support for women's rights. When these accusations were made during the second debate against Bill Clinton, Mrs. Clinton did not attempt to respond or engage with them. On Sunday, she stated, "I have never questioned the qualifications of other candidates for the presidency, but I believe Donald Trump is not qualified to be president." She also noted that the issues extend beyond Trump's comments about women in the Washington Post video, as he has "insulted" many individuals from different religions and ethnicities, as well as disabled individuals, and has "never apologized." The U.S. elections will be held on November 8, and the 45th president will take office in January of next year.
