“And unfortunately, what’s going on on the other side of the aisle has taken this to a new low in presidential politics."
Wasserman Schultz, a House lawmaker from Florida, targeted Trump after he tweeted that Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, had "demonstrated a penchant for sexism."
She defended the former president.
"I think that Donald Trump or any candidate on the other side of the aisle would raise Bill Clinton as somehow a negative to their peril," she said. "I think every poll I've ever seen shows that if President Clinton were a candidate tomorrow, he'd be reelected."
Trump, the GOP front-runner, has face allegations of sexism throughout his campaign. Most recently, he was widely criticized for saying that Clinton was "schlonged" when she lost to President Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008.
