On Friday afternoon, Donald Trump became the first GOP presidential nominee to address the Values Voter Summit since its inception in 2006. Trump's well-received speech grabbed headlines across the country for making his case to social conservatives. Hours later, Hillary Clinton grabbed her own headlines but her message and the reaction couldn't have been more different. Speaking at an LGBT activist fundraiser Friday night, Hillary lobbed her now infamous "basket of deplorables" insult: "You could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?" Clinton said. "The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic -- you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up."
Politicians insulting other politicians is nothing new, but smearing tens of millions of American voters before an election isn't quite so common, and it forced reporters to draw comparisons to President Obama's 2008 speech in which he critiqued rural voters as clinging to religion and guns. Consider the contrast here. Trump has been appealing to Bernie Sanders voters to support him, where Clinton has shown utter contempt for those on the right. As I noted this morning on Fox News Business's "Varney & Co," Hillary Clinton's foundation has received donations from countries all over the world that imprison and even execute those they deem 'deplorable.' Christians and other Americans who refuse to embrace the Obama/Clinton vision of America should be concerned and ask what Hillary Clinton has planned for those she deems "deplorable" and "irredeemable"?
Her insults reveal how narrow-minded some on the far Left have become. Clinton's view of her fellow Americans shouldn't be a surprise. The policies of Obama/Clinton are rooted in their shared contempt for the traditional values of tens of millions of Americans. In the last eight years, this administration has increasingly tried to marginalize those who do not surrender to their progressive, anti-faith, anti-family agenda.
