Trump: Media Would Go After Me If I Barked Like Hillary

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Tuesday said there is a double standard in the media that allowed his counterpart in the Democratic Party to bark like a dog during a campaign rally without criticism.

Clinton said during a Nevada campaign event on Tuesday that there should be a warning when Republicans lie about something – much like a radio ad she heard years ago in Arkansas that featured a dog that had supposedly been trained to bark when it heard someone telling a lie.

She then began naming off Republican positions and barked like a dog. 

At his own rally in North Augusta, South Carolina, later that same day, Trump called Clinton a "joke," The Hill reports.

"I'm watching television and I see her barking like a dog," Trump said. "No, she’s barking like a dog. And everyone says, 'Oh wasn’t that wonderful, wasn’t that wonderful. Isn’t that cute? Isn’t that great?'"

"If I ever did that I’d be ridiculed all over the place," Trump added. "I won’t do it, I’m not going to imitate her. But she’s barking like a dog and they’re saying 'wonderful', but if Trump does it you’d read about it, they’d say, 'What’s wrong with Trump?' So there will be no barking."
