Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton has one reaction to Donald Trump's use of a vulgar term directed toward her: Rise above.

"We are not responding to Trump but everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should. #imwithher," Clinton Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri tweeted on Tuesday.

this. The attack on fake news lady, can't think of her name was disgusting enough and he got away with it. Not with HRC, she will fight back.
