Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton doubled down this week on calling half of former President Donald Trump’s supporters a “basket of deplorables.”
Clinton reflected on the infamous and divisive comment she made during a fundraiser in 2016 in a Washington Post op-ed published on Wednesday, adapted from her new book Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty. In the article, the former secretary of state recalled a meeting she had with a former white supremacist who now works to deprogram people leaving hate groups as an entry to discuss her “deplorables” comment, and said the term is “too kind a word” for some of Trump’s most fervent followers.
“In 2016, I famously described half of Trump’s supporters as ‘the basket of deplorables.’ I was talking about the people who are drawn to his racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia — you name it. The people for whom his bigotry is a feature, not a bug,” Clinton wrote.

We’re still waiting on Jane Fonda. It seems old commies never die.
Already? It came out just a little over a week ago.
This is the woman that ran the state department that sold uranium to Putin, as his friends donated millions to her “charity”? Who’s husband sold weapons and missile tech to China as they funded his campaign? Same woman?
Truthfully, is there anyone on earth more deplorable than Hillary Clinton?
Wrong thing to say Hillary.
Something lost = soul, liver, brain, legacy (so many to choose from)
something gained = about 250 pounds.
