During a private fundraiser held in February in McLean, Va., Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton—according to recordings of a speech she made that were leaked over the weekend—had a previous “basket of deplorables” moment.
The former secretary of state said the following about the young people who supported her primary challenger, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.):
Some are new to politics completely. They’re children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents’ basement. They feel they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they don’t see much of a future.
It didn’t take long for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to pounce on the statement. In a speech he gave over the weekend, he railed against Clinton for once again disparaging those who oppose her:
A new audio tape that has surfaced from another one of Hillary’s high-dollar fundraisers shows her demeaning and mocking Bernie Sanders supporters.
In the tape, Hillary attacks Sanders supporters as “living in their parents’ basements,” and trapped in dead-end careers. She describes many of them as ignorant, that they want the United States to be more like Scandinavia but that “half the people don’t know what that means.”
To sum up, Hillary Clinton thinks Bernie supporters are hopeless and ignorant basement dwellers.
Then, of course, she thinks people who vote for Trump are deplorable and irredeemable.
And let’s not forget, at the recent debate, Hillary Clinton all but said that most of the country is racist, including the men and women of law enforcement.
In short, if you are not a diehard Hillary Clinton supporter from day one, Hillary Clinton thinks you are a defective human being.
How on Earth can Hillary Clinton try to lead this country when she has nothing but contempt for the people who live in this country?
She slanders and attacks anyone who wants to put America first, whether they are Trump voters or Bernie voters.
