Hillary Clinton just committed a major gaffe. And it’s going to cost her at the polls.

CNN is reporting:

Hillary Clinton told an audience of donors Friday night that half of Donald Trump’s supporters fall into “the basket of deplorables,”

“To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,” Clinton said. “Right? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it.”

She added, “And unfortunately, there are people like that and he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric.”
[…]

Jason Miller, a Trump spokesman, said in a statement that Clinton “ripped off her mask and revealed her true contempt for everyday Americans.”

The remarks released a firestorm on twitter, soon culminating into #BasketofDeplorables.

Campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway reminds everyone that Clinton promises to play fair but refuses to and later called her remarks “slandering.”

 

Donald Trump Jr. defended his father and called Clinton’s words a “new low.”

Conservative radio host had some advice for Trump: don’t let anyone forget this.

Breitbart reporter, Charlie Spiering, says the Clinton remark was “her 47 percent moment.”

Weekly Standard editor, Bill Kirstol, who is well known as a Trump critic, joined in to defend him for once.

Even the dems had to admit she was out of line.

Lis Smith, the director of rapid response during Obama’s 2012 campaign stated:

And Obama’s former chief strategist, David Axelrod, called her words “treacherous.”

 

Clinton is getting WAY too desperate this early in the campaign. The fact that she would slander 25% of Americans shows exactly what she’s really about.

We already knew she was a liar and a cheat.

Now we know what she really thinks about the common people, too.
