Hillary Clinton Doubles Down on Calling Trump Supporters ‘Deplorables,’ Says it’s ‘Too Kind a Word’

Katherine Hamilton 26 Sep 2024

Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton doubled down this week on calling half of former President Donald Trump’s supporters a “basket of deplorables.”

Clinton reflected on the infamous and divisive comment she made during a fundraiser in 2016 in a Washington Post op-ed published on Wednesday, adapted from her new book Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty. In the article, the former secretary of state recalled a meeting she had with a former white supremacist who now works to deprogram people leaving hate groups as an entry to discuss her “deplorables” comment, and said the term is “too kind a word” for some of Trump’s most fervent followers.

“In 2016, I famously described half of Trump’s supporters as ‘the basket of deplorables.’ I was talking about the people who are drawn to his racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia — you name it. The people for whom his bigotry is a feature, not a bug,” Clinton wrote.

“It was an unfortunate choice of words and bad politics, but it also got at an important truth. Just look at everything that has happened in the years since, from Charlottesville to Jan. 6. The masks have come off, and if anything, ‘deplorable’ is too kind a word for the hate and violent extremism we’ve seen from some Trump supporters,” she continued:

This is exactly what needs to stop.  Our politicians labeling people and calling them names.  She is no exception to this and neither is Trump.

What happened to our politicians who were supposed to be for ALL the people????

What happened to the respect of the office of the presidency?  Sorry, but that went down hill with Bill Clinton.

Indeed we did and basically ended her political career.

Is Hillary trying to sabotage the Kamala Walz campaign?

Kamala & Walz are attempting to pander to those same unwashed masses, the deplorables.

Hillary, now is not a good time to remind us why we came to loathe the Dems during the Clinton, Obama, and Biden years.

This from the people that keep bringing riots back over and over.  Capped with the Endless Summer Nationwide Riots a few years back, along with commandeering whole sections of cities as their little nation-states.

But those are fine people.  Not deplorable at all.  uhum.
