See, she can wink when she wants to.
It’s cool though, Trump will probably make him Minister of Culture or something.
Right? I remember these same people saying that Trump was “telling it like it is” and being “politically incorrect” when he made even more horrific comments about a large share of the population. Were Hillary’s comments politically incorrect? Definitely. But if you’re the kind of person who is comfortable with…
I’LL BE DAMNED IF’N I LET SOME WOMAN CALL ME A BASKET OF DEPLORABLES!
This GIF just makes me think of the best conspiracy theory ever:
I don’t think it was shade only because she had already come out and called them deplorable and now she’s just walking it back a bit about exactly how many of them.
She had a great followup to one of the mouthbreathers:
Here is the original quote (From her fundraiser in NYC 9/9/16) :
Thank you for sharing that! She absolutely hit the nail on the head - if someone isn’t a racist assbag, why be mad at Hillary for calling out the racist assbags?
But...she never said “half.” And she's also not wrong.
She could’ve avoided the whole thing by simply adding ‘some of them, I assume, are good people’ at the end of her original speech.
Maybe I missed it, but did she actually say half? She said you could divide them into two baskets, but that doesn’t make them equal (being super pedantic here, I realize).
Ok, I am admittedly really really really bad at this, but I need a ruling. Her follow-up (the full one, not what’s written above) is shade, no?
ROFL
“I regret saying ‘half’—that was wrong,” Clinton said.
Whenever men inflict any sort of harm to women, the initial reaction to prevent it is to police women rather than men. This is sexist and needs to stop. Glad to see England is taking a step in the right direction.
I think part of this ‘controversy’ is fueled by Clinton using a ten-cent word like ‘deplorables’ as opposed to something Trump would have used (clowns, bozos, assholes, Mexicans etc.). It makes the phrase sound elitist.
