Trump condemns Clinton's 'deplorables' label on his backers

Gov. Mike Pence (R-Indiana) speaks at the Values Voter Summit at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. on September 10, 2016.

During a Friday night fundraiser in NY, the Democratic presidential nominee said that "half" of Trump's supporters can be placed in a "basket of deplorables", meaning that they are racist, homophobic or xenophobic. It was about Donald Trump's reaction. "I was proud to be a part of that".

At a national security forum Wednesday night, Trump lauded Putin as a stronger leader than President Obama and scoffed at criticism that his exchange of compliments with Moscow was unseemly and ill-advised for a presidential candidate. An audience member shouted back, "That's right!" "How can she be president of our country when she has such contempt and disdain for so many great Americans?"

"Let me just say, from the bottom of my heart, Hillary, they are not a basket of anything", Pence said. "They are Americans, and they deserve your respect".

"Last night I was "grossly generalistic, ' and that's never a good idea", she said in a statement". On Tuesday, during a short swing through California, Clinton will make remarks about "building an inclusive economy" and, in a speech later next week, she will issue a call to national service.

"Mr. Trump recorded a short interview with Larry King for his podcast as a favor to Mr. King", Hicks said. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic - you name it. "And unfortunately there are people like that". [But] I am surprised by those numbers, ' said retired Army Maj.

"Every Republican holding or seeking office in this country should be asked if they agree with Donald Trump about these statements", Clinton said in a morning news conference.

Trump said in a statement Saturday that "her true feelings came out, showing bigotry and hatred for millions of Americans".

Her comments led to a firestorm of critcism, even from some Democrat commentators and on Saturday she backtracked, saying that she regretted saying "half".

"It's a war we shouldn't have been in, number one", Trump said in the interview. She also flushed out several national security priorities if she is elected, including trying to take out the leader of the Islamic State and vowing to defeat the extremist group without putting USA troops on the ground in Iraq or Syria.

Donald Trump says he'll be in St. Louis later Saturday to attend the funeral of Phyllis Schlafly, the conservative activist who helped defeat the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s and founded the Eagle Forum political group. The list of distractions keeping us from hearing about what really matters - how Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton actually stack up against each other - is endless. She stressed that "t$3 hose are people we have to understand and empathize with as well". He has given voice to their websites...

Trump reiterated his belief that the Russian president is "very much of a leader" when pressed on Putin's attempts to undermine US influence in key regions and his annexation of Crimea. Trump said on Twitter.

A favorite among social conservatives, Pence speaks to the Values Voter Summit after past year signing into law as IN governor a "religious freedom" bill seen to enable sweeping anti-LGBT discrimination.
