Hillary Clinton surrogate Mark Levine, a Democratic Virginia state delegate from Alexandria elected in 2015, called supporters of Donald Trump “mentally deficient” in a segment on the Fox News Channel Saturday afternoon.
Video clips from the segment show Levine saying:
“I think Donald Trump is appealing to people who are mentally deficient, I really do.”
