Is Hillary's "basket of deplorables" comment truly deplorable or just honest? | The Tylt
Hillary Clinton is in hot water after saying half of Donald Trump's supporters could be placed in a "basket of deplorables" at a fundraiser on Friday in New York City. The comment was specifically aimed at supporters using racist, sexist, homophobic and xenophobic language. But Trump's campaign claims Clinton insulted millions of working-class Americans, comparing her comments to Mitt Romney's infamous "47 percent" remark. Clinton, for her part, expressed regret for "grossly" generalizing Trump's base. But was Clinton just being honest? Or are her comments truly deplorable? Vote below!

Many Hillary supporters think she was merely speaking the truth, and anyone who isn't a racist has nothing to be offended about.
Look, if you're not a racist, misogynist a-hole, she wasn't talking about you. But don't pretend there isn't a #BasketOfDeplorables

When you believe Obama is a Muslim born in Kenya, you may think you're not a racist, but trust me — YOU'RE A RACIST. #BasketOfDeplorables

But Trump and his followers feel Hillary personally insulted millions of regular, hard-working Americans — and Clinton will pay for it on Election Day.
Wow, Hillary Clinton was SO INSULTING to my supporters, millions of amazing, hard working people. I think it will cost her at the Polls!

It's one thing insult your opponent, but to insinuate a percentage of American voters are deplorable is over the top. #BasketOfDeplorables
