Her comments were 100% scripted. She was reading from a teleprompter. After she called Trump supporters every vile name in the book she saud to her adoring audience “right?”. They started laughing. Every bit of this was planned out. She has issued no apology. One of her surrogates was on Judge Jeanine last night and told the judge that Clinton has been saying these same things for months but apparently no one was listening so she thought she would emphasis them again and she has not apologized. Her follow-up statement was a doubling-down on her remarks. She makes it clear in her statement she meant to label ALL of Trump’s supporters as racists and bigots. The media of course is calling it an apology and trying to play down the entire thing. Then this morning the ridiculous WA Post poll comes and she’s doing great. Her three terrible weeks didn’t exist, didn’t hurt her a bit. She’s seen as “more honest and trustworthy” than Trump. She’s better at fixing the economy than he is. She’s perfect, Trump’s Hitler. That’s the media for you. They ignore any bad news about her and fabricate good news, as in these polls showing that most people think she’s Mother Teresa.
She had been making the same comments in her off the record fund raisers where they collect the cell phones at the door to prevent a Romney moment. She just decided to start using the term in her scripted comments.
