Seth Meyers gives Hillary Clinton a strong dose of tough love after she insulted Trump supporters (I think insult was her intention) by calling the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and Islamophobic half of them “a basket of deplorables.” Gasp! Hillary couldn’t have made this group happier if it had been Christmas on Oprah and everybody got a car! Maybe a truck with a rifle rack could make them slightly more giddy, but not much.
Seth reminds Clinton that street-fighting and name calling is Trump’s weapon of choice, and Hillary is equipped for better things. Seth reminds Hillary; “But you can’t play tit for tat, because he’s only going to focus on your tat – and ignore his tit!”
Seth chalks Hillary’s slip up to her pneumonia…What she said is true, and while she walked it back later, she simply shouldn’t have lowered herself to his level, because she can’t limbo that low.
You’ll see the poster that delighted Trumpians are sharing as you read this. It’s a send-up of the movie ‘The Expendables.” “The Deplorables” features (not in order) Roger Stone, Ben Carson, Gov. Mike Pence, Eric Trump, Donnie Trump Jr., Gov. Chris Christie, Milo Yiannopoulos, Rudy Giuliani, Alex Jones and Donald Trump with ‘Pepe the Frog’ – over Trump’s right shoulder. First popularized on 4chan, Pepe is a huge favorite white supremacist, neo-Nazi meme.
David Duke tweeted that he is proud to be one of the Deplorables. Mercy, but Hillary had better not say anything derogatory about Duke!
