President Trump attacks Hillary Clinton for controversial remarks in India
US President Donald Trump has slammed Hillary Clinton for her controversial remarks in India against his voters, saying that Democrats lost touch with "normal everyday working people". Trump's remarks came after Clinton said that women have to get approval from their husbands, their sons, and their male bosses to vote for Trump. He slammed Clinton, saying that was "not a good statement". Here's more.
Trump's voters didn't like black people, women getting rights
In her remarks, Hillary Clinton suggested that those who supported Trump did so because they didn't like black people getting rights, women getting jobs or Indian-American succeeding more than them. "You (Trump's voters) know, you didn't like black people getting rights. You don't like women, you know, getting jobs. You don't want to see that Indian-American succeeding more than you are," she said.
What did Clinton say during the conclave in Mumbai?
"We don't do well with white men, we don't do well with married, white women...that is an identification with the Republican Party, and a sort of ongoing pressure to vote the way your husband, your boss, your son, whoever believes you should," Clinton said.
"Not a good statement," Trump said on Clinton's remarks
During the National Republican Congressional Committee dinner, Trump said, "I would say her statement about women getting approval about voting was not a good statement." "The truth is the Democrats have never been more vulnerable because they've lost touch with normal everyday working people. Democrats haven't learned. They still think the loyal citizens who care about jobs, borders, and security are deplorable," Trump said.
Clinton called half of Trump's supporters "deplorables" before the election
Trump was talking about Clinton's fundraiser speech weeks before the election, where she called half of his supporters "deplorables". "The problem is, she said so many of my people were deplorable and you know the next day I made a speech and everybody is wearing 'I am deplorable. I said, There is something going on here.' That was not a good word to use."
Clinton's Democrat colleagues have distanced themselves from her, claimed Trump
Trump claimed that Clinton's Democrat colleagues have distanced themselves from her. "You notice how fast the Democrats have run from these statements now? They are disavowing those statements like I've never heard before. She's wrong, people that were her biggest supporters are now saying, 'What is she doing? Why doesn't she just go home?' But that was not a good statement," Trump said.
