It is my understanding, that the naked Trump statue was the work of an anarchist organization - not Hilary Clinton.

The group is also behind putting names of black men killed by the police on Hollywood stars and painting an anti-Trump rape mural on the US-Mexico border.
If you can't see the difference between a bunch of punks pulling off a "stunt" and a public figure - a prospective President of US - publicly, consistently and unapologetically behaving the way Trump does - then here's some reading material for you:

Sometimes double standard is necessary, because we're talking about TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. We need to expect higher standard of behaviour from our leaders, than from a bunch of random jackasses, ffs...
