Clinton: half of Trump supporters belong in ‘basket of deplorables’

Update: King told CNN’s Erin Burnett on “Erin Burnett Outfront” that RT America has never tried to exert influence over his show and that, on most of their shows, “50 percent of the time Russian Federation is criticized”.

“Klebnikov was the twelfth reporter to be killed in mafia-style assassinations in direct reprisals for their journalism in Russian Federation since President Putin came to power in 2000, and not one of the murderers has been brought to justice”, Pence and the other congressmen wrote.

Noting that she received a lot of criticism for the above-mentioned Trump interview being insufficiently hard hitting, Kelly added that “They want every interview to be Kill ‘Em!”.

“I don’t know what Trump knew”, King told Burnett with regard to where his Politicking show is distributed.

Trump’s first known public comment on the topic came on September 11, 2002, when he was asked whether he supported a potential Iraq invasion in an interview with radio host Howard Stern.

Trump’s foundation is “a charity that allowed a rich man to be philanthropic for free”, concluded the influential liberal newspaper affiliated with the Democratic Party.

“Vladimir Putin reigns with an iron fist”, one member of the group Bikers For Trump told BuzzFeed News. The Republican candidate again cast doubt on whether Russian Federation was behind the hacking of the Democratic National Committee, a belief at odds with USA intelligence officials. Experts inside and outside the government have pointed to Russian-backed actors as the source of the hack, which has been used to leak information in an attempt to embarrass Democrats.

Russia’s various versions of RT, including the English-language RT America channel in the United States, have carried King’s interviews for about three years.

Trump’s campaign hammered on Clinton throughout the day.

Added Kaine: “There are supporters we’re not going to get”.

But Trump’s vice presidential running mate Mike Pence said she had disrespected voters.

Trump’s interview surfaced as he and Clinton continue to clash over foreign policy in the run-up to the November 8 election.

“The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic – you name it”.

But Clinton also offered a more sharply defined vision for the wielding of American power than Trump who, pardon the pun, often seemed lost at sea during his allotted screen-time.

In Pensacola, Florida Friday evening, Donald Trump said Clinton could walk into this arena with 20,000 people watching, shoot somebody and not be prosecuted. “But more important than negotiating, we will be secure again”, he said.

Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for Putin, including at a commander in chief forum on NBC Wednesday in which he argued that Putin has been more of a leader than President Obama.

Her comments came a day after Trump surrogate and former NY mayor Rudy Giuliani made similar statements.

Trump, hoping for a similar outcome, pounced like a great, orange lion on Clinton’s comment with a Tweet declaring, “Wow, Hillary Clinton was SO INSULTING to my supporters, millions of awesome, hard working people”.

Nor did he mind being called “brilliant” by an authoritarian Putin though that would not get the Russian leader anywhere with him, Trump preened.

“Putin is an aggressor that does not share our interests. That’s the single greatest achievement of Hillary Clinton”, said Trump, who has never held elected office.

Clinton’s campaign announced on Friday that an additional 15 retired US generals and admirals were endorsing her, bringing the total number of endorsements by retired military leaders to 110.

The Trump campaign was clearly taken aback by the barrage of criticism, sending out an email Thursday denying that Trump’s comment about the USA officer corps being “reduced to rubble” and the need to rely on “different generals” meant a sweeping purge of the Pentagon.
