Donald Trump’s campaign on Monday released a new ad hitting Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for her comments that half of the Republican nominee’s supporters could be categorized in a “basket of deplorables.”
{mosads}The 30-second ad will start airing Monday and is supported by a $2 million ad buy in Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida, CNN reported.
At the beginning of the ad, a narrator says, “Speaking to wealthy donors, Hillary Clinton called tens of millions of Americans ‘deplorable.’ ”
The ad plays a clip of Clinton’s comment, which she made during a fundraiser last week.
“You could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the ‘basket of deplorables.’ The racists, sexists, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it,” Clinton says.
“You know what’s deplorable? Hillary Clinton viciously demonizing hard-working people like you,” the narrator says at the end of the ad.
On Saturday, Clinton expressed regret for her comment.
