Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Trump’s running mate, also weighed in: “Hillary Clinton’s low opinion of the people who support this campaign should be denounced in the strongest possible terms. The truth of the matter is that the men and women who support Donald Trump’s campaign are hard-working Americans. Let me say from the bottom of my heart: Hillary, they are not a basket of anything. They are Americans, and they deserve your respect.”
Pence directly compared Clinton’s remarks to President Obama’s controversial 2008 comments about people who “cling to guns or religion.” He said that such statements should preclude her from being elected president.
Clinton’s running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine (Va.), said in an interview with The Washington Post that Clinton has nothing to apologize for.
“She was generalizing and saying there are some of his supporters we’ll never get because they’re motivated by some dark motives, but there are other supporters that have legitimate concerns and questions about the economy, and we’ve got to speak to them in the campaign. And even to the extent that they vote against us, we still have to respond to their concerns if we have the opportunity to govern.” msn
