Yes. They are Deplorable. [View all]

Trump supporters are Deplorable. If you don't believe they are Deplorable then I am deplorable for falsely accusing them of being so. There was a young Mexican American woman whose parents brought her here from Mexico when she was seven years old. This is the only land and culture she knows. She studied hard and became an engineer. In Trumpica she is at risk of deportation.

At a CNN forum hosted by Van Jones former United States Senator Rick Santorum, a prominent Deplorable leader, told the young woman she had to leave the country.

How is a seven year old girl responsible for the decisions of her parents? If her parents left her in the back seat of the getaway car while they robbed a bank should be put in the hoosegow too if they were caught?

These . People. Are. Deplorable.

BTW, that clown Rick Santorum implied the United States is the only nation one can learn how to be an engineer. SMH.
