ABC News(NEW YORK) — A day after Mark Cuban announced he had a front row seat for the first debate courtesy of the Clinton campaign, Donald Trump threatened to have his own special guest.
On Friday, the billionaire Dallas Mavericks owner and Hillary Clinton supporter said he was invited by her campaign to sit front row for Monday’s presidential debate at Hofstra University.
Just got a front row seat to watch @HillaryClinton overwhelm @realDonaldTrump at the “Humbling at Hofstra” on Monday. It Is On !

Trump then tweeted on Saturday he would invite “Jennifer Flowers,” then deleted the tweet to correct his spelling.
If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Gennifer Flowers right alongside of him!

“If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Gennifer Flowers right alongside of him!” Trump tweeted.
Gennifer Flowers has said she had a sexual relationship with Bill Clinton in the 1990’s.
She tweeted to Donald: “You know I’m in your corner and will definitely be at the debate!”
Hi Donald. You know I’m in your corner and will definitely be at the debate!…💋

The Clinton campaign issued a statement Saturday night in response.
“Hillary Clinton plans on using the debate to discuss the issues that make a difference in people’s lives. It’s not surprising that Donald Trump has chosen a different path,” said Clinton Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri in a statement to ABC News.
