Donald Trump goes there, calls Hillary Clinton the B-word (brainwashed, that is)

As Twitchy reported Friday, it wasn’t quite the press conference for which reporters have been waiting nearly 250 days, but Hillary Clinton did speak before a group of African American and Hispanic journalists and addressed her comments on the FBI’s findings into her emails.

Clinton’s televised claim that FBI Director James Comey had declared her answers regarding her “extremely careless” handling of emails truthful earned the Democrat nominee four Pinocchios from the Washington Post and a “PANTS ON FIRE!” rating from PolitiFact. On Friday, she explained away that controversy by claiming that she may have “short circuited” when answering Fox News’ Chris Wallace.

Donald Trump wasn’t about to let that go and responded on Twitter Saturday.

Crooked Hillary said loudly, and for the world to see, that she "SHORT CIRCUITED" when answering a question on her e-mails. Very dangerous!

Fair enough. He’s not going to stop there, though, is he?

Anybody whose mind "SHORT CIRCUITS" is not fit to be our president! Look up the word "BRAINWASHED."

Heading to New Hampshire – will be talking about Hillary saying her brain SHORT CIRCUITED, and other things!

That should be an interesting campaign stop. At rallies in Des Moines and Green Bay Friday, Trump had a few other choice words for Clinton. The Hill reports that the GOP nominee deemed her “unhinged,” “unstable,” “unbalanced,” and “a monster.”

Something tells us Trump’s leap from short-circuited to “brainwashed” isn’t going to go over well with those wishing he would rein it in a little bit. If only the media would react so quickly to the many, many, many times Clinton has been caught “misspeaking” as they do to a tweet from Trump.

George Romney hurt his 1968 bid for GOP nomination when he said he had been "brainwashed" into backing Vietnam war. https://t.co/5AFVcqbybu

Stopping you from becoming president is a national emergency. Our very lives are at stake.

Anybody who is a sociopath/narcissistic/racist is GROSSLY unfit AND dangerous. Look up "LOOSE CANNON" and "INCOMPETENT."

Hillary Clinton lies continuously, but she certainly wasn’t brainwashed; that would suggest her single-minded pursuit of power at others’ expense originated somewhere else but in her very own head. Her followers, on the other hand …
