Because in their reality, calling them racists is the equivalent of calling a black person a monkey.

Romney didn’t say the same shit four years ago.

How much evidence is there that Trump supporters are “hard-working”?

She was Speaking Her Mind and Telling It Like It Is and Not Being Politically Correct. I thought Trump supporters were into that.

No. No, she didn’t “look bad” for calling out people who HATE other people for being not like them in some way.

There is also a massive difference between saying retired people, the disabled, and the poor are victims who should take responsibility for their lives, and pointing out that racists are racist.

Apparently thats all fine, but calling racists racists is too far.

His “surrogates”? They support him because they agree with his hateful stance against everyone. So do the people who will vote for him.

Right? Your first paragraph is spot-on, and I always fail to realise how calling out people for racism, etc is somehow equivalent to calling all mexicans rapists and thieves.

Yep, own that shit. Unlike the Romney 47% comment she isnt identifying anyone that would even begin to consider voting for her. And it is obvious to the moderates that Trump has some pretty fucked up supporters. We all have a couple of them on our Facebook feed.

Even with your numbers, that just means that 21.5% of Americans are bigots of some stripe (hating Black people or Jewish people or Latinx people or Muslim people or Women people or...) and also plan to vote for Trump. Honestly, I’d say that’s a lowball number — polling has shown that closer to 70% of declared Trump…

Exactly what I was going to post!

It’s going to be interesting to watch the group whose preferred candidate has smeared, among other groups — women, Mexicans, Muslims, American P.O.W.s, blacks, the Chinese, and the parents of war heroes — try to pretend like this statement is TOO FAR.

And thieves he also called us thieves.

The people she was referring to will never be on her side. They are the ones who sport t-shirts with slogans like “Hillary Sucks But Not As Good AS Monica”, “Hillary 4 Prison” and “Trump That Bitch”. And who think that Obama is a secret muslim looking to install sharia law in the US. And think gay people are…

Yes! Calling put Trump supporters for their racism, sexim, homophobia, and general hatred of anyone non-white, non-male, and non-Christian is horrible! We should be like the media and pretend they are perfectly nice people who just have different opinions.

Omg...she keeps making me love her more. Wahhhh Trump supporters...

I love Secretary Clinton and I love Jezebel for finally giving her some coverage. “I regret saying half”. Lady, you're going to rule the universe.

“...but I’m totally cool with calling the Mexicans ‘rapists.’ Priebus added.”

The walk back should’ve been : “I regret saying half. I meant 75%”.
