ABC News(NEW YORK) — Likely Republican nominee Donald Trump is in a fierce battle for the women’s vote as he remains at odds with key GOP leaders.
Trump said on ABC’s This Week Sunday that attacking Bill Clinton is fair game.
“If he’s involved in the campaign, he should absolutely, you know, he could be brought into it,” he told George Stephanopoulos on This Week.
At a rally Saturday night in Lynden, Washington, Trump criticized Hillary Clinton for “playing the women’s card” and attacked her husband’s past.
“Here’s a guy who was impeached because he lied,” he said to the crowd. “He lied, remember the famous ‘I did not have sex with that woman’ and then a couple months later ‘I’m guilty’ and she’s taking negative ads on me!”
Trump also adding: “And nobody, nobody, perhaps in the history of politics was worse to women or abused women more than Bill Clinton.”
The Republican frontrunner is also facing Republican leaders who want Trump to unify the party, something he does not necessarily agree with.
“Does it have to be unified? I’m very different than everybody else, perhaps, that’s ever run for office. I actually don’t think so,” he said on This Week.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, who said Thursday he was “not ready” to support Trump, will meet with the likely nominee this week.
