Hillary Clinton's campaign and Chelsea Clinton have already responded to Trump's Facebook Live stunt
Hillary Clinton's campaign didn't take long to respond to Donald Trump's Facebook livestream that included numerous women who have accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault.
"We're not surprised to see Donald Trump continue his destructive race to the bottom," the campaign's communications director Jennifer Palmieri said in a statement. "Hillary Clinton understands the opportunity in this town hall is to talk to voters on stage and in the audience about the issues that matter to them, and this stunt doesn't change that. If Donald Trump doesn't see that, that's his loss. As always, she's prepared to handle whatever Donald Trump throws her way."

Trump held a Facebook Live approximately 90 minutes before Sunday night's town hall debate. Seated with Trump were Paula Jones, Kathy Shelton, Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick -- each of whom have accused Bill Clinton of sexual harassment or sexual assault.
The event came as a surprise, although Trump had previously said he would be willing to bring up allegations against Bill Clinton. Those threats seemed more legitimate after an audio tape leaked of Donald Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women.
Others in the Clinton camp also responded to the live video.

Each of the women in the video will reportedly also attend Sunday night's debate as guests of Trump.
