I thought it was mostly uneducated white voters.

The "basket of deplorables" comment was for us, the women and POC who had been harassed for over a year for standing with her. It was a huge cost for some. She called out the abusers. She tried it a speech earlier about the alt-right but the press ignored it so she had to be stronger in wording. And if the press had actually looked into who she was referring to instead of assuming she meant all Trump supporters - which was another hammer they could beat her with - we could have had a discussion about all the hate speech around the election instead of somewhat having it now.

I'm happy she said it.
