She characterized half of Trump supporters as people to “empathize with.” She characterized the other half as “the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it.”Speaking to donors on Friday night, Hillary Clinton outlined what she sees as the two types of Trump supporters.
First, there are those in the “basket of deplorables” — who include racists, xenophobes, and homophobes, and make up about “half” of Trump’s supporters, Clinton said. She called this group “irredeemable.”
Second, there are the people who “don’t buy everything he says,” but want desperately to see change. She said this group was worthy of empathy.
In recent weeks, the topic of racism has animated some of Clinton’s messaging, after she gave a high-profile speech about Trump’s history on race and the rise of the alt-right, a white nationalist movement that has been energized by Trump’s rise. Generally, though, Clinton has avoided characterizing Trump himself as racist, instead choosing to label her opponent’s statements as racist.......
The remarks came at an LGBT-focused fundraiser in New York City that included appearances by Laverne Cox and Barbra Streisand.

Funny. She admits her own voters are stupid and thinks the rest of us are deplorable. What a sweetheart.
What’s to say? The vitriol towards Good Americans is amazing.
Part of the Speech:
“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The 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.”
Well, what the heck, put me in the basket of deplorables ... just to avoid your empathy!
This from the rapist enabler.
So 1/4th of America are racists homophobes?
So Hillary is down to name calling. She will probably be back to the race card tomorrow unless tomorrow is a sleep day. Cough, cough, hack, hack.
Hey, I sort of like this side of Illary. Sounds as if she is trying to free-wheel it Donald Trump style and it will do nothing but bring out the hateful rhetoric she is famous for. What I want is an expletive laden tirade to be recorded for the American public to hear. Let the millenials and feminists here what a treat she is when the camera is not on her.
So this is Hillary’s platform? LOL
Filthy pig dissing at least 25% of the American people. That’s what she has planned for us. She’s a dangerous and disgusting leftist.
Hillary is a corrupt, lying, sick old crook who accepts bribes and betrays our country. Everything in that sentence is well documented. She lies even when the truth would serve her better. Everything she says or does must be treated with the utmost suspicion.
A tisket a tasket a basket full of Deplorables.
Yea that’s a winning theme alright.
FR has far more than 11,000 members.
She is a rotten lying over the hill bitch.
I feel Proud to be Deplorable
that’s all?
and incorrigible, don’t give up incorrigible.
She’s dissing Diamond and Silk and other blacks for Trump, the “Hispanics” for Trump, the queers for Trump, the WOMEN for Trump, etc., which makes her a RACIST, a HOMOPHOBE, and a MISOGYNIST! WHAT A “HATER” SHE IS !
First, there are those in the “basket of deplorables” — who include racists, xenophobes, and homophobes, and make up about “half” of Trump’s supporters, Clinton said. She called this group “irredeemable.”
IOW, there's no hope of reaching you, so you must be permanently locked up or destroyed.
Second, there are the people who “don’t buy everything he says,” but want desperately to see change. She said this group was worthy of empathy.
You're still worth caring about. Deluded and misguided, but with a little reprogramming...
