Trump Ad: Hillary’s “Deplorables” Comment “Viciously Demonizes Hard-Working Americans” [VIDEO]

CBS News reports:



Donald Trump’s campaign on Monday released a TV ad highlighting Hillary Clinton’s comment from Friday in which she said you could put half of Donald Trump’s supporters into “the basket of deplorables,” CBS News’ Major Garrett reports.

The 30-second ad, which is estimated to cost $2 million, starts with a voiceover: “Speaking to wealthy donors, Hillary Clinton called tens of millions of Americans “deplorable.” The Democratic presidential nominee made the comment at an LGBT fundraiser on Friday.

The ad continues with a clip of Clinton saying, “You could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the ‘basket of deplorables.’ The racists, sexists, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it.”

“You know what’s deplorable?” the voiceover says. “Hillary Clinton viciously demonizing hard-working people like you.” The campaign said it’s targeting Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida — all key battleground states.
