Clinton's 'deplorables' gaffe touches off merch, meme frenzy


Just days after Hillary Clinton said she regretted calling half of Donald Trump supporters a “basket of deplorables,” some of those supporters are embracing the title -- while enterprising web retailers seize the moment by quickly churning out a line of "deplorables" merchandise. Clinton made the comment at a fundraiser Friday, saying "you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables," and calling them "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it." Clinton walked back the remark the next day, with some commentators comparing it to Mitt Romney's "47 percent" gaffe.
