Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said on Friday that half the supporters of her Republican rival Donald Trump belonged in a ‘basket of deplorables’ of people who were racist, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic, or Islamophobic.
Speaking at an LGBT evening fundraiser in New York, the former U.S. secretary of state said Trump had given voice to hateful rhetoric from such individuals through his behavior as a candidate for the White House.
