Following Trump’s remark that Clinton’s “deplorables” comment was “perhaps the most explicit attack” of the American voter, Hillary campaign aides have tried to change the narrative by backtracking on the “half” of voters accusation. As aide Brian Fallon explained, “it’s a mistake to try to quantify ‘deplorable Trump backers,” adding that “doesn’t know the ‘deplorables’ percentage, but it is non-zero,” and offers “no apology for criticizing Trump backers.”

“I can attest, Andrea, that it really is the case that there’s no other undisclosed condition. The pneumonia is the extent of it. And I can also attest that her doctor has stated that there was nothing here in terms of anything that was caused by what happened in 2012.”
“[W]e’ve been in touch with her this morning, and it is our intention that, in the next couple days, we’re going to be releasing additional medical information about Hillary Clinton. A year ago — over a year ago now, we released a — an extensive letter with a comprehensive medical history, family medical history, and state, picture of her health that completely adheres to the norm for presidential candidates, and far exceeds what Donald Trump has released, but we’re going to go beyond that. And in the next few days, we’ve been in touch with her physician this morning to get those materials together. We’re going to be releasing that to further put to rest any lingering concerns about what you saw yesterday. I can attest, Andrea, that it really is the case that there’s no other undisclosed condition. The pneumonia is the extent of it. And I can also attest that her doctor has stated that there was nothing here in terms of anything that was caused by what happened in 2012. So, all of that, I think, will be indicated in the further material that we are going to release later this week.”
