Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump fired back at rival Hillary Clinton
after she branded half his supporters racist, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic, or Islamophobic and said they belonged in a ‘basket of deplorables’.
Speaking at an LGBT evening fundraiser in New York on Friday, the Democratic presidential nominee and 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.
‘To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the ‘basket of deplorables,” Clinton said. ‘Unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.’
Trump this morning hit back at her on Twitter tweeting: ‘Wow, Hillary Clinton was SO INSULTING to my supporters, millions of amazing, hard working people. I think it will cost her at the Polls!’
