To make her point, she cited an article for Time magazine by Matthew G. Olsen, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, arguing that the Islamic State, also called ISIS or ISIL, is working “to advocate for Trump”, as he put it.
In a statement Saturday, a day after Clinton said she regards half of Trump’s supporters as a “basket of deplorables”, Reince Priebus said Clinton is showing “her outright contempt for ordinary people”.
