'Basket of Deplorables'? What Happened to Hillary the Uniter?
Speaking at a big-ticket fundraiser in New York City yesterday, Hillary Clinton called half of Trump supporters a “basket of deplorables” because they hold “irredeemable” views on on pretty much everything.
“To just be grossly generalist, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call ‘the basket of deplorables,’” Clinton told donors gathered at a Manhattan restaurant. “Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it. And unfortunately, there are people like that, and he has lifted them up.”
“He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million,” she continued, referencing Trump’s campaign hire of Breitbart News’ Steve Bannon. “He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric.”
Apparently it is a line she has been using behind closed doors for weeks-
