Donald Trump reminded "tens of millions of Americans" of the names Hillary Clinton has called them in a new campaign ad released Monday. Using footage from Clinton's speech to "wealthy donors" Friday, Trump's new ad shows Clinton dubbing half of his supporters as belonging to a "basket of deplorables," that, Clinton said, includes being "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, [and] Islamophobic."
"People like you, you, and you: deplorable," the ad says, panning to crowds of Trump's supporters at his rallies. "You know what's deplorable? Hillary Clinton viciously demonizing hard working people like you."
