Hillary Clinton came under withering criticism on Saturday after dismissing “half” of Donald Trump supporters — therefore one-quarter of the nation — as “the basket of deplorables” and called them “irredeemable” and “not America.”
The hashtag #basketofdeplorables trended on Twitter as average Americans ridiculed the elitist Clinton.
Others used it as a rallying cry.
Actor Robert Davi posted a video urging Americans to join him as a “deplorable” and turn Clinton’s slight into action.

“Fellow Americans, I want each and every one of you to take the deplorable challenge that are voting for Trump-Pence 2016,” Davi said.
“That’s right, I’m a deplorable!
“Remember the movie The Dirty Dozen? They went in and saved the day?
“Well, let’s be deplorable. We’re deplorable because we stand for America first. We want foreign and domestic policy to be America first,” he said.
“We’re deplorable because we stand for the National Anthem.
“We’re deplorable because we want ‘God Bless America.’
“We’re deplorable because we’re voting Trump-Pence 2016 so go on, take the deplorable challenge.
“I’m a deplorable!” Davi concluded. “Trump-Pence 2016. God bless America.”
