Clinton 'Regrets' Calling Half Of Trump Supporters 'Deplorables'
'The Democratic nominee says she regrets her words after being
accused of insulting millions of Americans.
Hillary Clinton has come under fire after claiming half the supporters
of her presidential rival Donald Trump belong in a "basket of
deplorables" of racists, homophobes, sexists, xenophobes, and
Islamophobes.
The Democratic nominee later said she regretted her words as
Mr Trump accused her of "insulting" millions of Americans.
The remarks were made at an LGBT fundraiser in New York,
where Mrs Clinton said: "You can put half of Trump's supporters
into what I call the basket of deplorables ... the racist, sexist,
homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic - you name it.
"Unfortunately there are people like that, and he has lifted them up
... some of those folks, they are irredeemable, but they are not
America."
The other half, the former US Secretary of State claimed, are
individuals "desperate for change" who felt let down by the
government and the economy, who need sympathy...'
