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.

I’m glad I guessed right! Just for my own peace of mind.
Are you as deplorable as I am? LOL!!
At least with the Romney 47% illegal recording that leaked out he only claimed they were irreversibly Democrat voters and a lost cause to the campaign. Even Romney never called them such horrible things.
This wonderful!!! She is cracking under Trump’s pressure xalready - swimming wildly and making great ads for Trump.
Someone needs to make up a satire of the speech that Hillary gave to the Wall Street big donors. I would love to see that circulated in order to get pressure to get the real speeches released.
Filthy pig dissing at least 25%
Now where have we seen a number like that before? Hint: Ayres. The fact is that Clinton and Ayres both are willing to write off that percentage as irredeemable.
So 25% of the adults in this country are deplorable, well this cannot stand. Ask Hillary at the next debate, first question: What do you intend to do with these “deplorable” people when you become President, put them in gulags?
The Al Gore Internet Tax forced me to give up my homophone (it doubled my landline expense from $30 to $60 monthly), now I only carry a cellphone.
Well the Weather Underground said that there would be 25 million Americans who were irredeemable and could not be politically re-educated and would have to be killed.
I wonder whatever became of them, their ideology, and their influence...
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.
Agree on the style ... She even put in “ Right” a clear Donald mannerism. She’s trying to show “ her” after the advisors have told her she needs to let people see who she really is.
Well there it is and it isn’t pretty...
The homofascists are going to support the witchhunting HUAAC (Hillary’s Un-American Activities Conspiracy)
Count me in as one of those in the “basket of deplorables” clinging to “guns and religion”.
This woman is truly dumb. What makes it better is she campaigns like Jeb!.
Please clap - clap now damn it! Bunch of anti-clappers
And someone tell me why she has George Foreman escorting her around .. oh thats not George - good I like him
It’s in the bag.
Would that fit OK on a red hat?
What a stupid thing to say but with her Alinsky training, she can’t help herself trying to ridicule her opponent’s supporters.
As a Hispanic American, I become deplorable and unredeemable to the left or the statists long ago as a teenager under Reagan.
To include people like me as a strong Trump supporter only shows hiLIARy’s and the left’s true colors as the true racists. Statists like her care about minorities as long as they are on the leftist plantation but if you are a minority that rejects them and embraces freedom and liberty, you are deplorable and unredeemable.
That unredeemable and deplorable b**** and the leftists/statists like her, are the true racists.
CGato
Oh yes, maybe even MORE “despicable”. LOL
