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.
The dig at Trump comes after he attacked Clinton during a Monday night rally, saying she "got schlonged" in her last election -- using a term derived from a vulgar Yiddish word for penis - and that her extended bathroom break during the Democratic debate was "too disgusting" to talk about...................

Youre disgusting, he berated her, according to a story in The Times earlier this year by Michael Barbaro and Steve Eder. Then he stormed out of the deposition.
More famously, he reflected on Megyn Kellys interrogation of him at the first Republican presidential debate by saying that you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.
Clintons bathroom break or, more precisely, Trumps revulsion toward it lies at the intersection of his misogyny and his fastidiousness.
