When Donald Trump criticized Hillary Clinton after she replied with what he described as a scripted response during Monday night’s first presidential debate, Clinton fired back.

“I think Donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate,” Clinton said. “And yes, I did. And you know what else I prepared for? I prepared to be president. And I think that’s a good thing.”

The exchange happened during the debate segment on race and policing. Trump said he’s been “all over the place,” while he said Clinton had spent multiple days preparing for the debate in recent weeks.
