Hillary Clinton: Donald Trump's speech 'a cry from the white-nationalist gut'

Connie Andrews | 11 September, 2017, 00:49

Asked about her "basket of deplorables" comment during the campaign, in which she said half of Mr Trump's supporters were "irredeemable", Ms Clinton sought to repeat the view.

The erstwhile presidential hopeful opened up about what she thinks was the biggest of her mistakes: using a personal email server during her tenure as secretary of state.

But her most costly blunder, she said, wasn't made on the campaign trail, but when she was serving as secretary of state.

"I started the campaign knowing that I would have to work extra hard to make women and men feel comfortable with the idea of a woman president", she said. "I just have to wait this out".

Although Trump made a surprising decision to side with Democrats on dealing with the debt, stating that he can be a "good" chief executive is like saying David Duke can be a good Sunday school teacher.

Clinton contended that she had to fight forces in the 2016 race that were "unlike anything that I've ever seen or read about". She described feeling an "out-of body experience" on the platform and called Trump's speech a "cry from the white nationalist gut".

She added: "I understood that there were many Americans who, because of the financial crash, there was anger. It did not matter to them", Clinton said.

Clinton's Sunday appearance comes just days before her upcoming book, What Happened, becomes available for purchase.

"I felt like I had let everybody down."

She said she plans to stay engaged in politics, however, 'because I literally believe our country's future is at stake'. She penned the memoir on the dining room table of a guest house the Clintons had bought to accommodate staff and security for what they thought would be a second Clinton Administration.

On September 9, 2016, Clinton was speaking at the LGBT for Hillary gala in NY when she lumped Trump's supporters into two 'baskets'.

"Yeah, millions of white people", Clinton replied.

In the interview, Clinton recalled her telephone conversation with President Barack Obama after she conceded the election after midnight. "I am done with being a candidate". But there was one person who could help her cope: Bill.

'I was godsmacked, wiped out, ' she said.

Pauley then stopped Clinton to clarify, "What you're saying is millions of white people" and Clinton responded "millions of white people, yeah".

In December, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook also acknowledged that Clinton's statement "definitely could have alienated some voters".
