Clinton aide: Some Trump supporters part of ‘deplorables’

“The disdain that Hillary Clinton expressed for millions of decent Americans disqualifies her from public service,” Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, said during a speech in Baltimore.

“You cannot run for president if you have such contempt in your heart for the American voter, and she does. You can’t lead this nation if you have such a low opinion for its citizens,” Trump said.

Clinton on Saturday said she was wrong to generalize that “half” of Trump’s supporters fell into a “basket of deplorables,” while defending her attack on certain elements of his support.

“The mistake I think, Wolf, was trying to quantify it,” Fallon said Monday on CNN’s “Wolf.”

Fallon mentioned former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke’s support of Trump’s candidacy and Trump’s hiring of Stephen Bannon from the far-right Breitbart News website to be his campaign’s chief executive as examples of Trump lending credence to the so-called alt-right movement, a hardcore conservative sect often associated with white nationalism.
