Roland Martin Fact Checks Hillary Clinton's 'Basket Of Deplorables' Comments

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton continue their war of words as the nation draws closer to the 2016 presidential election.

Clinton, who is still leading in national polls despite losing ground to the GOP presidential nominee, is currently embroiled in a controversy over a series of comments she made about Trump supporters.

After reading a series of polls detailing the views of Trump supporters, Roland Martin said, "That sounds pretty damn deplorable to me."

If ignorance and gullibility are deplorable, she underestimated the proportion of his deplorable supporters by half.

[Lavadx]

So you guys are saying she's right then Roland? That would be racist in and of itself, wouldn't it? Do you REALLY think that Trump is racist, or are you just trying to support Hillary? I don't know Roland, I'm black and just don't see it the same way you do. I honestly think Trump will help our people in bringing back jobs via pushing out illegals and sparking industry with tax breaks to large corporations. Would you prefer that, or more of the same brother???

if having my own opinion and not agreeing with Hillary Clinton makes me different, then if rather be in basket of deplorables and be proud of it! I'm not one of Hillary Clintons puppets

[perfectstorm]

Break it down Mr.Roland and panel,
we are not crazy!!!

[artctr]

I'm glad Mrs. Clinton said what we all believe. This will not hurt her campaign.

[allninesandbehinds]

She said "half of Trump supporters..." She did not say ALL. If the cap fits wear it.!

[mossisaka]

GOD BLESS YOU ROLAND MARTIN AND GROUP.

[nunyabiznes]

That has nothing to do with it. My statement stands.

[cdr]

I guess she wasn't wrong. She shouldn't apologize. She spoke the truth.

[jayejacobs]

What passion and outrage from a teleprompter...smh

[Viperatut]

yeah call it for what it is.  if it quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck, then it's a duck!

[princessboobadomistressoft]

Hillary was dead on with her comment n we all know it!

[jasper]

I agree they are deplorable, I'm thankful for someone fact checking this. The other thing Hillary said in a nutshell was, that we shouldn't lump all the deplorables in the same basket as the other Trump voters who are with Trump for other reasons, like they see him as being a move away from the elite establishment and change, and they are not the same as the deplorables, just regular people.

[buffalolove]

At least half of the country are deplorable? Glad to know what she thinks of our country. #Hispanics4Trump
