Hillary Clinton Says ‘Half’ of Trump’s Supporters Come From ‘Basket of Deplorables,’ Apologizes.

Speaking to an audience of high-profile liberal celebrity donors, including Barbara Streisand and Laverne Cox, Clinton condemned exactly “half” of all Trump supporters, claiming that they come from a “basket of deplorables.”
