A noticeably frail-looking Hillary Clinton discussed the bombing in New York City Saturday night, hitting Donald Trump for saying the explosion resulted from a "bomb."
Clinton herself, however, began her remarks by likewise referring to the "bombings."
"I've been briefed about the bombings in New York and New Jersey," she told reporters.
"Do you have any reaction to Donald Trump immediately ... referring to the explosion as a bomb?" a reporter asked.
"Well I think it's important to know the facts before responding to an incident like this," Clinton said. "I think it's always wiser to wait to until you have information for making conclusions, because we are just in the beginning stages of trying to determine what happened."
