Her remarks Friday night at a fundraising event in NY drew sharp criticism from the Republican nominee and his running mate, Mike Pence, who said it revealed her disdain for the American people.

Clinton made her comments at an LGBT fundraiser in NY late Friday, adding that Trump supporters are “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic you name it”.
Clinton made her comments at an LGBT fundraiser in NY late Friday, adding that Trump supporters are “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic – you name it”. “And he has lifted them up”.
The comedian, 32, expressed frustration that the NBC journalist spent so much time asking Clinton about her email controversy that they had to rush through important questions about foreign policy.
“Basket of Deplorables” quickly became a trending hashtag on Twitter, with users venting their fury at the former secretary of state. A tisket, a tasket, Hillary’s in a basket.
Donald Trump’s running mate is firing back at comments by Hillary Clinton in which she described Trump supporters as a “basket of deplorables”.
“Last night I was “grossly generalistic” and that’s never a good idea”. “When my father left the White House more than 15 years ago, he knew he still wanted to make a difference in the world, and I’m really proud of so much of the work that the foundation has done”.
Clinton said the remarks show Trump has “failed” at a key test of being the nation’s commander in chief. She said he built his campaign on “prejudice and paranoia”.
Clinton has said she regretted generalizing so broadly.
Speaking to Larry King on RT America, which is an arm of government-funded news outlet Russia Today, Trump said it would “not be appropriate” if Russian forces were looking to influence the race, which is suspected by some investigators and has been fanned by Hillary Clinton’s campaign as recently as Thursday morning.
The comments from the former first daughter come in the midst of news that her father, former President Bill Clinton, would step down from his position with the foundation if his wife is elected in November.
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.
Clinton traveling press secretary Nick Merill tweeted a three-part response, saying, “Obviously not everyone supporting Trump is part of the alt right”.
During a televised forum Wednesday on national security, Trump complimented Putin for having “great control over his country”.
It turns out, Clinton didn’t do anything that many other (most Republicans who ran for President in the 2016 primaries, in fact) politicians have done with their emails. King also hit Trump hard on his secret plan for ISIS, reminding the Republican nominee that one of his predecessors made the same promise in 1968 for ending the war in Vietnam, and it turned out that Richard Nixon didn’t have any plan.
A few hours before Donald Trump addressed conservative Christians at the annual Values Voter Summit in Washington on Friday, Sen. He also declared Obama’s foreign policy to be wrong based on the body language of the people who provided him his first intelligence briefing. “#CrookedHillary”, he wrote, using one of his father’s favorite insults.
