Under fire from Democrats and the media for saying Hillary Clinton "got schlonged" in 2008 by Barack Obama, Republican hopeful Donald Trump doubled down.
Claiming a candidate getting "schlonged" is "a commonly used word in politics," Trump refused to back down.
Once again, #MSM is dishonest. "Schlonged" is not vulgar. When I said Hillary got "schlonged" that meant beaten badly.

He even cited NPR using the term in a political context.
NPR's @NealConan said "schlonged" to WaPo re: 1984 Mondale/Ferraro campaign: "That ticket went on to get schlonged at the polls." #Hypocrisy
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 23, 2015For those on TV defending my use of the word "schlonged," bc #MSM is giving it false meaning-tell them it means beaten badly. Dishonest #MSM
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 23, 2015When I said that Hillary Clinton got schlonged by Obama, it meant got beaten badly. The media knows this. Often used word in politics!

Clinton's communications director, Jennifer Palmieri, released a statement condemning Trump's use of the term. Palmieri said the campaign was "not responding to Trump." However, she played the "woman card" and claimed victim status for Hillary by adding while they won't be responding, "everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should."
We are not responding to Trump but everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should. #imwithher

Clinton came under fire for saying Trump has been featured in ISIS recruitment videos. Media fact checkers could not find any evidence to support this claim, declaring it a lie.
While Trump is not featured in ISIS recruitment films, Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, is prominently featured in an ISIS video, where he is called a "fornicator" for his affairs and multiple claims of sexual assault and harassment.
Trump's demands for an apology for the false charge were brushed off by the Clinton campaign.
Rather than address any of the back and forth head on, Clinton used a question about bullying to again attack Trump for his words.
Backing up Trump's claim "schlonged" is a common political term was veteran newsman Jeff Greenfield and New York Times political correspondent Alex Burns.
On further review, Trump is right on this. "I got schlonged" is a commonplace NY way of saying: "I lost big time," w/out genital reference.
- Jeff Greenfield (@greenfield64) December 23, 2015I've heard it for year, -after tennis games, poker games, bad stock bets. I obviously have a classy group of friends. https://t.co/65k9irf2vl
- Jeff Greenfield (@greenfield64) December 23, 2015Moynihan said it all the time. Rockefeller too. "You know, Happy, they really schlonged me on this one." Really.

What was “disgusting” was Fox bleeping the term.
Hillary beating Trump for the Presidency is a Schlongshot.
Looks like FOX news owes Trump an apology. ;-)
Is it the difference between native NewYorkers and carpet baggers?
Not Trumps Macaca moment.
Trump don’t take no $h!7 from no MSM. Apologies are a sign of weakness.
If nothing else, Trump is demonstrating how overt and duplicitous the POS scum passing as “media” are to the millions of braindead dumbasses who still believe they are objective and “report” news rather than pervert it to support the Demonic Party.
Trump really knows how to work these people. I expect him to work in the word “niggardly” into one of his upcoming speeches. Watch ‘em squeal!
Yet (Fox and) the rest of the media use the term “teabagger” without editing.
We just had a 'schlong' contest ... guess who won?!
He didn’t get to be “The Donald” by being stupid. Unlike most, he actually thinks before he speaks and knows what he is saying.
Incredible how petty, stupid, silly the media is. Hours of serious faced discussion of what it all means!
Is it an attack on women? Is it a vulgar sexual reference? Is it the end of the world?
No it’s a Donald Trump Thump!
This is once-again disgusting. The media protects the LIB oaf from a word...while her husband continues as a serial woman abuser.
Shvantz is a better word.
Maybe we should all email, tweet and FB Fox News and educate them on the real meaning of the word
The yenta got schlonged, so what, big deal.
I’m not a Trumpist (Trumper, Trumpo, Trumpinard?), but he has some raw, innate political sense. Sort of a like natural political boxer. It must serve him well in business negotiations. He’s able to draw out his opponent and make them overplay their hand, time and time again.
For instance, making the media go full tilt on defending Hillary. When people find out they’ve been censoring the word “schlonged”, it makes them look stupid and in cahoots with the Hillary campaign. It also makes Hillary look like a hothouse flower that can’t stand up to a little rough and tumble.
Making Hillary play the victim card so early, will a). wear out that ploy, and b). make her seem weak. Nobody wants a victim as president, except for her most diehard femtard supporters.
“It’s a schlong way to rip Hill-ary ...”
No mention of liberal urinalists calling conservatives “Teabaggers” for two years running.
Trump is the proving the master of this.
1. Say something that ensures across the board coverage by a media dead set on torching him.
2. Double down on his statement to ensure they again run exactly what he said.
3. Prove to the media that they are wrong.
Left with a lot of media coverage and in the end looking positive, while those that attacked him look diminished.
Still not my guy, but his marketing skills are genius.
OMG——ROTFLOL.
Destined to become a FR classic.
