Hillary Clinton Has Her 47% Moment : Calls Trump Supporters “Racist, Sexist, Homophobic, Xenophobic”
During a fundraiser in New York City Friday evening, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton described half of the Americans supporting Donald Trump as a “basket of deplorables” made up of “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic” people.

“You know to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,” she said as the crowd laughed and applauded. “…the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it.”
Clinton said that it was unfortunate that Trump had given them a voice, citing “offensive mean-spirited rhetoric” on websites and Twitter.
“Some of those folks — they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America,” she said.
She praised the supporters attending her fundraiser as “friends” who were in the “other basket.”
Clinton tried to signal empathy for those were “desperate for a change” pointing out that they felt that “the government has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures.”
“They don’t buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different,” she said, calling for her supporters to “understand and empathize with as well.”
Clinton’s remarks drew comparisons to rhetoric from former failed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who pointed to the 47 percent of America that were just looking for a handout from the government.
Romney’s remarks, made in private, were secretly recorded and made public, dooming his presidential campaign against President Barack Obama.
But the former first lady made her remarks in front of reporters, as she allowed her campaign press pool access to the event.

What an idiot! Who in the Hell does she think she is??? Oh I see she believes in a mother’s choice to abort at 36 weeks of pregnancy, she believes she did nothing wrong during her stint as SOS, she has no concept as to Classified and unclassified, she continues to place blame on others instead of herself(and continues to get away with it!) Her foundation is a real hoax for extra funds for Chelsea, Bill and herself, after all administration fees consume 80 percent of her foundation. The fact that Chelsea does not belong to Bill is all good with Clinton supporter’s? Oh, and she had to return furniture and other belongings to the white House that clearly did not belong to her or Bill when they left the White House? Please? Are we so uneducated that we cannot see her guilt for the men SHE had killed in Benghazi.. We are supposed to sweep it under the rug? Wake up folks!!! No Clinton in the whitehouse!!!
Pat is right. What more can be said. She sure don’t belong in White House!
She needs to be in a prison cell shaped like a basket i am one pissed off Trump supporter and what would have happened if Mr Trump had called her supporters what she called us
Pat, Linda & Shaaron are absolutely right; and Trump has NEVER talked about Clinton supporters in that way and he wouldn’t ever do it, because he DOESN’T THINK OF THEM LIKE THAT…Hillary holds regular people in absolute contempt; she believes in the “beautiful people”, the elite, the Hollywood darlings, huge, out-of-touch corporate bigwigs, and foreign heads of state; She constantly accuses Trump of migrating toward dictators because he wants to attempt to have a civil conversation with Putin; SHE IS THE ONE who gravitates toward dictators; she speaks more highly of Saudi Arabia’s dictators than she does any American hero…hell, she even praises MAO. The fact is that Hillary has shown her true colors, and the question is: How on earth would she represent all Americans as President, if she believes that half of them are “deplorable” and not even redeemable? The answer is that SHE WON’T REPRESENT THEM; SHE WILL DISMISS THEM AND IGNORE THEM IF THEY’RE LUCKY, AND IF THEY AREN’T LUCKY, SHE WILL DO WHAT SHE DID IN THE WHITEHOUSE, WHERE SHE COMPILED A LIST OF “ENEMIES”, PEOPLE WHO OPPOSED THE CLINTONS….AND SHE USED THE IRS TO COMPOSE THAT LIST. If Hillary were to be elected, we would go almost immediately into a “police state”; she has already vowed to shut down conservative press outlets like Alex Jones and Breitbart saying “they don’t deserve to exist”. It isn’t the job of the President to decide who’s speech has the right to exist or not….it is the job of the President to make absolutely sure that every right and freedom under the Constitution is protected AT ALL COST. Hillary Clinton, by her own words, has confirmed that she will VIOLATE THE US CONSTITUTION IF SHE IS ELECTED. SO IF YOU VOTE FOR HER, YOU KNOW THAT SHE ALREADY PLANS TO BREAK THE LAW, AND ALREADY PLANS TO VIOLATE THE CONSTITUTION. She will stand there and take an Oath of Office, knowing full-well that she is lying and has no intention of complying to one word that she says. TO VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON AT THIS POINT, IS TO SHOOT YOURSELF AND YOUR CHILDREN IN THE FOOT, ONLY WORSE BECAUSE IT WOULD ASSURE A DEATH-BLOW TO EVERYTHING YOU ARE AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
I agree with comments above! She then apologized for saying it. Empty words! The mouth speaketh what the heart believes! How can people even think she will represent America when she doesn’t think most of us are American! God help us to have Mr. Trump as President of this USA!
