Clinton's 'Deplorables' Comment Show Disdain for Working People, Trump Camp Says



Hillary Clinton's comments at a star-studded fundraiser in New York City that half of Donald Trump's supporters are a "basket of deplorables" are getting slammed by the Trump campaign as a sign of "how little she thinks of the hard-working men and women of America."

GOP vice presidential candidate Mike Pence told a forum of social conservatives Saturday that Clinton's comments display a lack of respect for the millions of people who support Donald Trump for president.

Trump's supporters "are not a 'basket' of anything," Pence said at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C.

"The truth of the matter is that the men and women who support Donald Trump's campaign are hard-working Americans, farmers, coal miners, teachers, veterans, members of our law enforcement community, members of every class of this country who know that we can make America great again," he said.

"They are Americans and they deserve your respect," Pence added, as if addressing Clinton directly.

Trump himself wrote on Twitter on Saturday that Clinton "was so insulting to my supporters" and that her comments "will cost her at the polls."

The Trump campaign's senior communication adviser, Jason Miller, said Clinton's remarks told "the American public that she could care less about them."

"Tonight’s comments were more than another example of Clinton lying to the country about her emails, jeopardizing our national security, or even calling citizens 'super-predators,'" Miller said in a statement late Friday. "This was Clinton, as a defender of Washington’s rigged system – telling the American public that she could care less about them."

Milled added, "What’s truly deplorable isn’t just that Hillary Clinton made an inexcusable mistake in front of wealthy donors and reporters happened to be around to catch it, it’s that Clinton revealed just how little she thinks of the hard-working men and women of America."

Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway slammed Clinton on Twitter for "placing people in 'baskets'" and insulting "millions of Americans."

Clinton made the comment Friday night 9/9 at the LGBT For Hillary Gala.

Thread is about Clinton's description of a percentage of his followers which was extremely accurate.

As with everything Trump, he never responds to any thing, just turns it into a counter attack....well suited to lead, huh

" has been about testing the limits of his fans’ loyalty and public tolerance for bigotry, threats, and lies. The Republican Party and the media have repeatedly failed this test. GOP leaders have criticized him but most refuse to retract their endorsements. Some journalists have apologized for their role in promoting Trump during the primaries, and many now critique him harshly, but you can still find his former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski spouting racist birther theories as a paid commentator on CNN. And despite a phenomenal meltdown, Trump still maintains his fan base as well as institutional support."

So 30 million are racists? Glad you agree.

"Above all, Trump supporters are “not politically correct,” which, as far as I can tell, means that they have a particular aversion to that psychological moment when, having thought something, you decide that it is not a good thought, and might pointlessly hurt someone’s feelings, and therefore decline to say it."

Man can you hear the vacuum from the sucking!!!!!!!
Pull the string in the neck of the doll response....AGAIN!

You know, why the discussion...of course she is right..just consider...

EVERY SINGLE WHITE SUPREMICIST GROUP SUPPORTS HIM.
EVERY SINGLE ISOLATIONIST GROUP SUPPORTS HIM
EVERY SINGLE ANTI HISPANIC GROUP SUPPORTS HIM
EVERY SINGLE CONSPIRACY WEB SITE AND FOLLOWERS SUPPORT HIM

Just in Jose groups alone, you could make a case.

while I think the comment is totally inappropriate many things in this election has been said that come from left field and are hurtful about looks, gender, race you name it, look at the names she has been called just on this forum alone,maybe she's tapped into this site there are an awful lot of voters in the Villages.

"WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — Hillary Clinton said she regrets describing Donald Trump supporters as a “basket of deplorables.”

In a statement Saturday, Clinton said that, “many of Trump’s supporters are hard-working Americans who just don’t feel like the economy or our political system are working for them.”

She said she was “grossly generalistic” in her remarks at the LGBT fundraiser in New York Friday and, she added, “that’s never a good idea.”

But she said she regrets only half of her statement, emphasizing that it is “really deplorable” that Trump is affiliated with people from the right-winged “alt-right movement,” and that “David Duke and other white supremacists see him as a champion of their values.”

Trump would have most certainly had done this same thing had he insulted American heroes, gold star families, sitting judges, religions or ethnic groups.

I am sure

He could have said, "half of Hillarys supporters are police killers, black militants, commies, entitlement freaks, gays, lesbians and fag hags."

But Trump is a stand up guy, he knows that would not be nice or accurate. Its not half, It's about 99% and the other 1% are the super rich.
