Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton sparked an uproar late Friday when she described Trump’s supporters at a fundraiser.
“To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,” Clinton said. “Right? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it.”
On Saturday Donald Trump released a number of Facebook posts and tweets in response to Hillary’s shameful attacks.
In one Facebook post he used Barack Obama’s words against Hillary.
RT if you agree: We need a President who is fighting for all Americans, not one who writes off nearly half the country.

While Hillary said horrible things about my supporters, and while many of her supporters will never vote for me, I still respect them all!

Wow, Hillary Clinton was SO INSULTING to my supporters, millions of amazing, hard working people. I think it will cost her at the Polls!
