Hillary Clinton has verbally banished half of Donald Trump's backers to a "basket of deplorables," and the Republican presidential nominee is quickly pouncing.
He says she's smeared many Americans and will pay a heavy political price.
Clinton — who's said she's the candidate to unify a divided country— made the comment at an LGBT fundraiser Friday night at a New York City restaurant, with about 1,000 people in attendance.
Here's what she said:
"To just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it."
Clinton then pivoted and tried to characterize the other half of Trump's supporters, putting them in "that other basket" and saying they need understanding and empathy.
