So let's look at her "deplorables" comment in its entirety, shall we, because it reads totally differently than how the media made it sound:

“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.”

She said the other half of Trump’s supporters “feel that the government has let them down” and are “desperate for change.”

“Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well,” she said.


Hm. Interesting how it takes on a whole different tone when you see it in context, doesn't it?

Besides that, even if she had called everyone who voted for Trump a deplorable, she's not wrong. Supporting putting children into cages is deplorable. The white supremacists and neo-Nazis who supported him are deplorable. Supporting somebody who spent seven years claiming Obama wasn't born in the U.S., and seeing nothing about voting for the man who pushed that conspiracy to follow Obama as president, is deplorable (and these are the same people who have the nerve to sit here and bitch about how we're not "respecting" President Trump enough).

And the Sandy Hook conspiracy theorists and other Trump supporters who push other insane conspiracy theories like Pizzagate and such, the Trump supporters who mock victims of school shootings, the people who don't support LGBT rights, etc.? Yeah. That's deplorable, too.

Not to mention, I like how she calls actual racists/sexists/homophobes etc. deplorable and people flip the fuck out and refuse to vote for her because of it. Meanwhile, Trump was mocking disabled people at rallies, disrespecting a Gold Star veteran and his family openly, insulting Mexicans and saying vile things about women and so on during the campaign, and apparently that wasn't enough to ruin his campaign.

*"seeing nothing wrong about", that should read.
