On Tuesday night, Donald Trump, who won five primaries and moved a step closer to the Republican presidential nomination, closed his victory speech with a swipe at Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

"The only card she has is the woman's card," Trump said. "She's got nothing else going on. And frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she'd get 5 percent of the vote. The only thing she's got going is the women's vote. And the beautiful thing is that women don't like her."

Mary Pat Christie, who is the first lady of New Jersey and is married to Chris Christie, a Republican governor who has endorsed Trump, had an amusing reaction to Trump's comment about Clinton:

In case you missed that, don't worry: The New York Times' Nick Confessore didn't:

When Trump said that, Mary Pat Christie, standing over his shoulder, grimaced, then glanced over at Chris Christie and rolled her eyes.

Again, Mary Pat Christie is married to a Republican governor who endorsed Trump. But even she didn't like what Trump was saying. She has options, though:

Mrs. Christie, of course, can vote however she likes behind the curtain on November 9th. https://t.co/YwX0eCCpMk

Tuesday night wasn't the first time Trump accused Clinton of playing "the woman's card." He made similar comments that morning.

Clinton responded in her victory speech. "The other day, Mr. Trump accused me of playing the, quote, woman card," she said. "Well, if fighting for women's health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in!"

Editor's note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims -- 1.6 billion members of an entire religion -- from entering the U.S.
