Does anyone know a shorter link for BasketOfDeplorables?

I want to tweet the underlined text below, plus a link. But the link I found is itself to long for the tweet. Does anyone know a shorter one? Or a clever trick? I'm very new to tweeting.

Please read BOTH paragraphs of HRC'S statement about #basketofdeplorables http://www.npr.org/2016/09/10/493427601/hillary-clintons-basket-of-deplorables-in-full-context-of-this-ugly-campaign
