New York (CNN)Hillary Clinton expressed "regret" Saturday for comments in which she said "half" of Donald Trump's supporters are "deplorables," meaning people who are racist, sexist, homophobic or xenophobic.
"Last night I was 'grossly generalistic,' and that's never a good idea. I regret saying 'half' -- that was wrong," Clinton said in a statement in which she also vowed to call out "bigotry" in Trump's campaign.
The Democratic presidential nominee sparked an uproar late Friday when she described Trump's supporters at a fundraiser. "To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables," Clinton said. "Right? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it."
She added, "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. He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric."
Clinton then said some of these people were "irredeemable" and "not America."

Quintessentially Clinton.
She's not saying she regrets calling anyone any of those things, just that she said 'half' - which means she could be saying she regrets not calling ALL of them those things.
Vile woman.
She said in on Israel TV Chanel 2 earlier in the week. Watch and listen to the entire 20 minute interview. Very eye evening. Her comment was scripted and it backfired.

Somebody once told me I looked like that guy. I immediately started growing a mustache!
Anyone who doesn’t think they will (continue to) use the government against us is very foolish. They think we are Nazi criminals who deserve punishment even death.
No no no. She’s waiting for a Real man to show up after Bill croaks. It will be a Republican
I was deplorable......when Deplorable wasn't cool!
If anyone should be saddled with the moniker “deplorable” shouldn’t it be Hillary?
She meant ALL OF US!
I are Deplorable. And damn proud of it.
Too late. You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.
Clinton expresses regret that she said half of Trump’s supporters are deplorable. She really meant that all of them are.
....l who will promptly slap her in cuffs and frog march her traitorous ass to Leavenworth.
Of course.
It's "projection" on her part. She, and liberals in general, do it CONSTANTLY.
I’m baffled why the strategy that Dems used - changing different political positions on centralized government etc. to mean that those who don’t agree with them are evil. It provides evidence for my theory that their Narcissistic Personality disorder dominates their perception of the world to THAT extent (i.e., they think they are gods and all who disagree with them are “haters).
But that “people who vote against Dems are inherently evil” meme has worked bizarrely well for them for so long they trotted it out on her campaign - fully expecting to “shame” people into voting for her. So glad I lived to see a day in which the empty Dem rhetoric was at least partially refuted in such a public personalized way.
The key term is “basket of deplorables,”
Putting people in a “basket” is the definition of racism.
What “basket” does she put blacks in when she puts on that phony accent?
She is a old time bigot..
“I regret saying ‘half’ — that was wrong,”
What she means is: You ALL are Irredeemable Deplorables.
