A new advertisement of Donald Trump that hit key battleground states today slams his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's remarks that the Republican presidential nominee's supporters are a "basket of deplorables".
Alleging that such a remark shows Clinton's true nature and exposes her contempt for everyday Americans, the Trump Campaign said this ad will be aired in the battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Florida.
"'Deplorable' is a response to the incredibly offensive comments Hillary Clinton made last Friday in front of reporters and her wealthy donor friends, and serves as a call to action for the tens of millions of hard working Americans she viciously demonized - to stand united against the Clinton-led rigged Washington system," said Jason Miller, senior communications advisor to the Trump Campaign.
"These highly offensive and divisive comments reveal the contempt and disgust for everyday Americans that Hillary Clinton has hoped to hide by avoiding the press and running the least-transparent campaign in modern political history," Miller said.
In the ad, Clinton is seen as saying her controversial remark. "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," she says.
Thereafter a narrator alleges that it is common people who have been targeted by such a remark.
