Not even the mainstream media could cover up the fact that Hillary Clinton made a major diplomatic snafu overnight when she called half of Trump supporters a “basket of deplorables”, adding that they were “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic.” Which is perhaps why, moment aog, Hillary said she regretted denigrating “half” of Donald Trump’s supporters but stood by her characterization that much of his campaign is “deplorable.”
“Last night I was ‘grossly generalistic,’ and that’s never a good idea. I regret saying ‘half’ — that was wrong,” Clinton said in a statement.
That was the apology; however just to avoid losing all the ground, she added that “let’s be clear, what’s really ‘deplorable’ is that Donald Trump hired a major advocate for the so-called ‘alt-right’ movement to run his campaign and that David Duke and other white supremacists see him as a champion of their values.” Clinton was referring to Trump’s campaign CEO Steve Bannon, formerly the chairman of Breitbart News.
