Donald Trump's campaign said Monday it would begin running a new television ad in Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida highlighting Hillary Clinton's comments from Friday night that referred to half of Trump's supporters as a "basket of deplorables." Trump has relished the opportunity to go after Clinton's rhetoric, a rare moment in the campaign that has been dominated by Trump's explosive comments. Trump and his campaign have already compared Clinton's comments to Mitt Romney's 2012 remark asserting that 47% of the population would never vote for him because they depend on government handouts. The new ad shows footage of Clinton making the comments at a fundraiser in New York. "Hillary Clinton viciously demonizing hard working people like you."
