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."

Or in short, it fits Paul Joseph Watson’s description of Hillary’s attitude as “sneering, arrogant elitism.” And the MSM is still dealing with the fallout from that debacle even now....
Nailed it.
I know, I know. I just feel under her it would only get worse. There’s a certain viciousness about her.
“I’d have shaved my head, as well.”
I did that too when I started the Triathlon thing.
She’s sincere, its all forgiven now, so long as she understands what she did was hurting some feelings. I believe her, she wouldn’t lie about that. Is she F’n crazy? What if Trump had said something like that about Democrat Liberals? Hopefully this will be the end of her! I can’t stand even looking at her in the media pictures. I haven’t forgiven Jane and that was about 50+ years ago. This is going to be a big stain regardless of how the media softens it. Trump should address his attendees as “Greetings my fellow deplorable s”.
Judge Pirro for Supreme Court!
And I am a proud deplorable..but I doubt I can fit in a basket LOL..I would much rather be deplorable than be an evil Commie loon
I’m not sure what her comment was but it sure WASN’T an apology.
Not good enough, Hillary. We’re riding this one all the way to november.
“she shoulda said 47% are deplorable”
Binders full of deplorable people.
