10:33Now PlayingHillary Clinton said that half of Trump supporters are a "basket of deplorables." Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Hillary Clinton’s comments to an audience of donors at a private fundraiser sent a shockwave through the political and media establishments Friday night.
In her remarks, Clinton candidly categorized half of Donald Trump’s supporters as falling into a so-called “basket of deplorables.”
“To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,” she said. “Right? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it.”
The quote quickly caught fire on social media. Journalists breathlessly clutched their metaphorical pearls over the prospect of Clinton potentially painting a sizable cross-section of Americans with too broad a brush. Meanwhile, Republicans predictably worked themselves into a lather trying to spin the comment as her very own Romney-esque “47 percent” moment that would surely doom her campaign.
Needless to say, it didn’t take long for the new conventional wisdom to solidify: Hillary Clinton had made a serious gaffe. She had drastically overreached in “writing off” 50 percent of Trump supporters as prejudiced, and she would certainly pay the political consequences for her foolishness.”
