The Donald Trump campaign continued to blast Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” comment on Monday morning, releasing a new ad framed around Clinton’s remark that the campaign says it will be airing on television.
In the 30-second spot titled “Deplorable,” a narrator says that Clinton told “wealthy donors” that “tens of millions of Americans” are “deplorable.”
“You know what’s deplorable?” the narrator asks. “Hillary Clinton viciously demonizing hard working people like you.”
The ad is a response to remarks Clinton made at a Friday fundraiser, where she said that “half of Trump supporters” can be put in the “basket of deplorables.”
“Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it,” Clinton said, describing the term.
Following outrage from the Trump campaign, Clinton softened her comment, saying that she regrets saying that “half” of the Republican nominee’s supporters are part of the “basket of deplorables.” But the Trump campaign has continued to target Clinton’s comment.
The ad will air in Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Florida, according to the Trump campaign.
Watch the ad:
Yep, that’ll win the election for Donnie. If anyone know vicious demons, it’s Donnie…
The only ones who were offended by the basket comment were those occupying the basket.
You know, the Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it
Though her response to this ad should be obvious, no one can say that this Trump’s ad wasn’t expected.
Oh well…welcome to a wonderful week of semantics.
Once again, the fact is that these people ARE deplorable.
Racists, misogynists, religious intolerants, bigots and the like are clearly deporable, and should be called out as such. Donald Trump is the enabler of all of this, and is the most deplorable of all.
None of these vermin would ever vote for HRC anyway.
I dunno… this actually sounds like one of those moments when Hillary should actually double down…
Wait, what? The Trump campaign paid money to broadcast her message? Great! They were even kind enough to include the context that she’s talking about “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic…” Cool!
