She spoke the truth....and today she apologized...she didn't mean ALL of them...just some...you know the uneducated ones that follow that lying racist and his insults.  That's why he insults people to make the DEPLORABLE ones happy!

Perhaps she shouldn't have said it, however she was right...his followers are deplorable because they follow and agree with the many policies of  DT.  I think that MOST of his followers are just as deplorable and he is.

Here, are some examples:

To accuse a sitting President of NOT being born in the Unites States and to start the bigotry of  "birtherism"

To undermine and insult a federal judge based on his Mexican heritage

To demean a "Gold" Star family and propose to ban all Muslims from entering the United States.

To kick off his campaign by labeling most Mexicans as rapists and murderers.

To embrace David Duke, and to repeatedly re-tweet white nationalists and false stats about black men and crime.

To praise his supporters who beat a homeless Hispanic man in Boston and punch a black man at a rally.

To say black people have a lazy trait and have them ushered off the casino floor when they show up.

 It is deplorable when the Justice dept has to sue him a second time for racial discrimination when renting to minorities.

To NOT pay workers he hired, once the work was completed.

To start the scam of Trump University and then steal millions of dollars from unsuspecting students.

To ridicule and make fun of the disabled.

To insult POW's and specifically Senator John McCain

I just hope that HC can capitalize on the fact that DT is the leader of his racist followers and thereby they are all deplorable.

I am glad she said it, It is true.

I bet many of them had to look deplorable up in the dictionary in order to be outraged.

BTW We do know that the Cuckoo's support Trump & they are definitely deplorable! Just saying.

I agree cossysmom.

Look at it from Hillary's perspective. The RNC was full of hate for her. Trump's minions shouting "Lock her up" every time Donald raised the chant. They are attacking her family & the Clinton Foundation saying deplorable things. Not even mentioning the hate those Trumpsters bestow on Muslim's, BLM, President Obama, homosexuals.......

Deplorable is a polite word to describe them imo.

But was it wise to say such a thing? Maybe it will blow over but I think it was poor judgment. It's touching down to his level and gives him ammunition against her. Never a good idea to name-call, even though I think  his followers are stupid I wouldn't say it to their faces.

 

I did today LOL I spoke to one of his "poorly educated supporters" and said I felt bad that that she was so underserved by her education (you know the school system Zeke )

These are the followers HC was speaking about/to:

The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it.”

“He tweets and re-tweets their offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric,” she added, referring to the multiple times the real-estate mogul has engaged with alt-right racists online.-HC

They are upset???????!!!! The truth hurts!!!!
 

I am seriously annoyed that ppl, even her own supporters are holding her to a different standard than Trump! Are we seriously saying those on the edge are not going to vote for her because of this? Meanwhile those same ppl will gladly hand their vote to Trump after all he has said & done? I am sorry, but those ppl would never vote Hillary anyway. I am proud that she called out the basket of deplorables! I mean she could have called them rapists, but who would stoop so low as to suggest that...

Painting with a broad brush is something most of us have all deemed as unwise. Trump is a nasty bully, not the brightest guy. Yes, she has to fight back but it's always wiser to take the high road.
We all know his supporters are the poorly educated and stupid. What did she gain by saying that? It doesn't make me like her less but I don't think it makes her gain any NEW friends.
Let the asshole dig his own hole which he had been doing. Now the spotlight goes to her negative remark and health.
