False
..................
Says after Hillary Clinton helped a man accused of raping a 12-year-old, "she's seen laughing on two separate occasions, laughing at the girl who was raped."

— Donald Trump on Sunday, October 9th, 2016 in the second 2016 presidential debate
Donald Trump wrongly says Hillary Clinton laughed at a 12-year-old rape victim

By C. Eugene Emery Jr. on Monday, October 10th, 2016 at 12:49 a.m.

In an attempt to defend his recently linked offensive comments, Trump claimed Clinton laughed at a 12-year-old rape victim. False.

Donald Trump offered a confusing mashup of unsavory accusations during Sunday night's presidential debate as he lumped allegations against Bill Clinton with a claim about Hillary Clinton's attitude when she discussed her defense of a man accused of raping a child in 1975.


.............Our ruling

Trump said after Clinton helped a man accused of raping a 12-year-old, "she's seen laughing on two separate occasions, laughing at the girl who was raped."

Trump is referring to an audio tape in which she does respond with amusement at her recollections of the oddities of the case, which involve the prosecution and the judge.

At no point does she laugh at the victim.

We rate his claim False.

It's reprehensible the way he trotted out a former underage rape victim at the debate.
