Hillary Clinton’s campaign released a new TV ad Tuesday responding to Donald Trump’s spot capitalizing on Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” comment.

The 60-second spot, titled “Low Opinion,” opens with Trump’s Monday charge that Clinton “can’t lead this nation if you have such a low opinion for its citizens.”

“What’s Donald’s opinion of our citizens?” the ad asks before running through a laundry list of inflammatory remarks the GOP nominee has made over the course of his campaign.

It highlights his comments mocking a disabled reporter, his attacks on the Khan family and his comments about women.

The Trump campaign had released a new ad on Monday blasting Clinton’s comment that that “half of Trump supporters” can be put in the “basket of deplorables.” Clinton later revised her statement, saying that she regrets assigning the designation to “half” of them.

The “Low Opinion” ad will run on national cable, according to the Clinton campaign, which has reserved $77 million for September and October TV ad buys.
