Kaine: Clinton doesn't need to apologize for 'basket of deplorables'
The Hill ^ | 09/10/2016 | Harper Neidig

Posted on 09/10/2016 2:58:52 PM PDT by nhwingut

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said Saturday his running mate Hillary Clinton doesn’t need to apologize for her “basket of deplorables” comment about supporters of Donald Trump.

“She said, 'Look, I’m generalizing here, but a lot of his support is coming from this odd place, that he’s given a platform to the alt-right and white nationalists,’ ” Kaine told the Washington Post. “But then she went on to say, ‘Look, there’s also a number of his supporters that have economic anxieties, and we’ve got to speak to those.’ ”

At a fundraiser in New York City Friday night, Clinton told a crowd of donors that half of Trump’s supporters are “irredeemable” because of their bigoted views, but the other half are just looking to change the government because they feel it has “let them down.”

Oh, but I live in opposite land when it comes to the our Government and its minions. So all I see is him saying “we don’t need to apologize”.

If that was true, he wouldn’t need to make the statement at all.

That statement secures our knowledge of Kaine. He’s what we thought of him.

Kaine’s words are those of a Social Justice, Liberation Theology Marxist. Hope to God Hillary does not drop dead before the election because America’s fools might just vote Kaine in with a sympathy vote. Kaine is the crap Hillary coughed up.

The Leftists at Twitter doing their best to defend her. This is what they have as the top news—an article all about claiming that her statement was accurate:

Of course not Kaine, you drooling goober.

You get right out there on that campaign trail, Kaine, and keep calling us Trump supporters “deplorable”!

I don’t think Pence should destroy him on the debate stage. Just build him up for 2020. No bench.

Since this ‘gay’ Kaine has opened his mouth, he is now fair game:

The audacity of something coming out of ANYONE'S mouth like what came out of Clinton's mouth about the American People shows how much hated she and you have against Our Country.

You, Mr. Kaine, are nothing but a crook and a liar and a ‘neo-con’ idiot the same as she is...you are a disgusting human being...to bad your mother didn't do what most women do when they find out they just crapped, flushed you down the toilet...

As far as the thing your running with, there are not enough words to say about her that could even come close...I have met some might nasty people in my life across this Great Country, but NEVER have I met the likes of you and that evil, vile, snake of a cretin...

If you know what is best, you would be wise to keep your mouth shut, you to can also end up in Ft. Marcy Park by her hand the same as Vince Foster did, never forget that...she hates people that don't have money or power and you have neither...
