- Hillary Clinton accused President Donald Trump of copying her 2016 election slogan "Stronger Together."
- The GOP shared an image of Trump saying "We’re only getting stronger together" — a phrase he used during his border wall rally in El Paso, Texas, on Monday.
- The Republican Party defended using the phrase, with a spokesman saying: "When you lose your campaign, you lose your monopoly on any slogans."
- The GOP also replied to Clinton, saying: "How about this: We’ll give you your slogan back if you run again."
Hillary Clinton mocked President Donald Trump and the GOP after the party’s Twitter account appeared to use a slogan similar to the one she used in her 2016 run for the White House, encouraging the president to "copy" her policies on healthcare and voting rights as well.
The GOP shared a photograph of Trump on Twitter, which quoted him as saying: "We’re only getting stronger" — a phrase during he used during his border wall rally in El Paso, Texas, on Monday.
But users were quick to notice the phrase’s similarity to Clinton’s "Stronger Together" slogan during the 2016 Presidential election.
Clinton herself responded on Tuesday, suggesting that Trump "copy my plan on health care, a fairer tax system, and voting rights."
Clinton also shared a link to her website, where she lists the issues that she prioritized during her 2016 election bid.
On the website, she calls for "universal, quality, affordable health care for everyone in America," a tax system that makes sure "the wealthy, Wall Street, and corporations pay their fair share in taxes," and a system that is "making it easier to vote, not harder.
The site also lists policies including strengthening women’s rights, criminal justice reform, and gun violence prevention.
