Desperate to win, a haggard-looking Hillary unleashes on Trump supporters.
In a race that neither Hillary Clinton (aka the Zombie Queen) nor her billionaire backers thought would be this close, the Democrats’ nominee attacked the supporters of Donald Trump on Friday.
“To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,” Clinton said. “Right? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it.”
She added, “And unfortunately, there are people like that and he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric.”
Clinton went on to say that some of these people were “irredeemable” and “not America.” [Emphasis added.]
In response to Clinton’s attack, Trump tweeted:
Wow, Hillary Clinton was SO INSULTING to my supporters, millions of amazing, hard working people. I think it will cost her at the Polls!

Just how the Democratic candidate believes that the ill-advised attack on her rival’s supporters will win her more votes is unknown.
UPDATE: Hillary Clinton has ‘walked back‘ her attack on Trump’s supporters.
