Clinton's "basket of deplorables" comment was in terrible taste
Hillary Clinton's comments at a star-studded fundraiser in New York City that half of Donald Trump's supporters are a "basket of deplorables" are getting slammed by the Trump campaign as a sign of "how little she thinks of the hard-working men and women of America."What she said was even worse than calling them basket cases. She now claims she's sorry, but it's too little, too late. No one needs to vote for her.
GOP vice presidential candidate Mike Pence told a forum of social conservatives Saturday that Clinton's comments display a lack of respect for the millions of people who support Donald Trump for president.
Trump's supporters "are not a 'basket' of anything," Pence said at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C. "The truth of the matter is that the men and women who support Donald Trump's campaign are hard-working Americans, farmers, coal miners, teachers, veterans, members of our law enforcement community, members of every class of this country who know that we can make America great again," he said.
"They are Americans and they deserve your respect," Pence added, as if addressing Clinton directly.
