“Even though I was six, I knew that was insane, because I didn’t have any sisters … and I knew that as an only child, I got the first and last word on my mom as a mom”, she said. “A smart campaign would have reasonable third party raising those questions in a respectful way”.

Trump and his running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, defended the comment.
“Putin is an aggressor that does not share our interests”.
Clinton’s campaign also announced on Friday that an additional 15 retired USA generals and admirals were endorsing her, bringing the total number of endorsements by retired military leaders to 110.
