GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence this week declined to call former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke “deplorable,” despite even his fellow Republicans urging him to do so.
In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Monday, Pence slammed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for referring to Trump supporters as belonging to a “basket of deplorables.” Clinton made the comment during a fundraiser on Friday in reference to Trump supporters being “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it.”
Blitzer asked Pence whether Clinton’s remark was inaccurate.
