He was responding directly to Hillary Clinton's vice presidential pick Tim Kaine, who said Pence and Trump "need to be called out as unpatriotic" for their comments on Putin.

When we wake up on November 9, wondering whether Mr. Trump will wear the fake tan to his inauguration, remember that Clinton, like Marie and one at before her, said that from the perspective of the elite, The people can eat cake if they have no bread.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, who both have ties to New York City, will cease campaigning on the 15th anniversary of 9/11, according to the Associated Press.

Clinton said on Friday evening that you could put half of the Republican presidential nominee's supporters in a "basket of deplorables", which she said would include racists, xenophobes, and homophobes. "They're racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic - you name it".

There Clinton bemoaned the people she described as "deplorables", "unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up".

Going forward, Clinton aides plan to force Trump to talk about racist elements behind his campaign - like she did last month with a speech claiming far-right groups are having an outsized influence - while framing Clinton's admission of a mistake as something that Trump would never do. "I'm determined to bring our country together and make our economy work for everyone, not just those at the top", Clinton said.

Meanwhile, Trump late Friday said that if Iranians circle US boats and "make gestures at our people that they shouldn't be allowed to make, they will be shot out of the water".

Meanwhile, the Trump campaign lambasted Clinton's remark well into Saturday, calling it the moment she "ripped off her mask and revealed her true contempt for everyday Americans".

In another poll from earlier this year, two-thirds of Trump supporters said they hold unfavorable views of Muslim-Americans.

So it was bewildering for many Clinton supporters to see that ― after talking about this issue for weeks and highlighting a plainly observable feature of Trump's rise ― Clinton was being called to task.

Trump and his supporters quickly pounced on the remark. "I regret saying 'half.' That was wrong". Trump, with little sense of irony, attacked Clinton for bigotry and hatred for her "deplorables" comment.

Clinton expressed regret for the remark, but it was too late to stop Trump's supporters on to post their anger in 140 characters or less under the hashtag #basketofdeplorables. "What a awful thing she said about so many great Americans!"

"I respect them for what they are doing, but you still have understand that it's the election season so everything they do is the idea of campaigning", Taylor said.

"Hillary, they are not a basket of anything", Pence said. On Friday night, he told supporters in Pensacola, Florida, that Clinton could shoot someone and not be prosecuted. Polls tend to narrow as Election Day nears, and the Clinton campaign has struggled to overcome controversy about how she handled classified information while serving as secretary of state. "#CrookedHillary", he , using one of his father's favorite insults for describing the Democrat.
