Clinton regrets calling ’half’ of Trump supporters ’deplorable’

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Saturday said she regretted saying “half“ of Republican rival Donald Trump’s supporters belonged in a “basket of deplorables,“ but made no apologies for calling out “prejudice and paranoia“ among Trump’s campaign and supporters. “Last night I was ’grossly generalistic,’ and that’s never a good idea. I regret saying ’half’ - that was wrong,“ Clinton said in a statement, the day after comments at a fundraiser in New York.
