Donald Trump’s campaign manager is objecting to Hillary Clinton’s depiction of half of his supporters as a “basket of deplorables.”
Clinton was speaking at an LGBT fundraiser in New York City Friday night when she described those supporters as “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it.” But she stressed that the rest of the Republican nominee’s supporters are people who feel let down by the government and the economy and are “just desperate for change,” and said those people need sympathy.
