Examples of INCIDENTALLY in a Sentence

1. Stu Loeser:

   Mike plays with his dogs, he plays with his kids dogs, and this video shows him playing with a voters dog as he became the first candidate to campaign in every Super Tuesday state, incidentally, this is how the experts suggest you play with your dogs to train them.

2. Ivana Trump:

   I have recently read some comments attributed to me from nearly 30 years ago at a time of very high tension during my divorce from Donald. The story is totally without merit. Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised three children that we love and are very proud of. I have nothing but fondness for Donald and wish him the best of luck on his campaign. Incidentally, I think he would make an incredible president.
