New Clinton ad: "Low Opinion" responds to Trump's attacks on "deplorables" [View all]
[VIDEO]
September 13, 2016 2016 Election, Advertising
The Hill recaps:
Hillary Clinton is pushing back on criticism of her remark that half of Donald Trump’s supporters are in a “basket of deplorables” with a new ad slamming the businessman’s remarks.
Clinton’s 60-second ad, released Tuesday, uses video of Trump’s speech in Baltimore on Monday, when he slammed Clinton’s “deplorables” remark and called on her to retract it or drop out.
“You can’t lead this nation if you have such a low opinion for its citizens,” Trump said during his speech at the National Guard Association’s annual conference.
That quote bookends the Clinton video, which highlights video of Trump calling Rosie O’Donnell “a disgusting pig” and referring to multiple individuals as “losers.”
Trump is also seen in the video mocking a New York Times reporter, asking African Americans what they have to lose in supporting him and criticizing Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
“How stupid are the people of the country?” Trump asks in one video clip in the ad.
