On Monday, Hillary Clinton made headlines when she ripped into Donald Trump and his supporters during an interview in India over the weekend. Once the story made the rounds, Kellyanne Conway decided to speak out.
She still thinks so much of herself and so little of half the country.

She was never sorry for calling us “deplorable” & “irredeemable” - she was sorry for getting caught. https://t.co/8bLwpAgeV8
Conway on Clinton
Ever since Donald Trump won the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton and her supporters have not backed down from what many believe was the wrong outcome.
Over the last year, an investigation into Russian election interference has attempted to link the president to the Kremlin and expose Trump's victory as illegitimate. In addition, Trump has been forced to deal with allegations of racism, sexism, Islamophobia, xenophobia, and other forms of prejudice.
“I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward,” Hillary Clinton said, describing Trump’s pitch as: “You didn't like black people getting rights, you don't like women, you know, getting jobs, you don't want..Indian Americans succeeding more than you are.” https://t.co/JZWbDplSE7

During her interview at the India Today Conclave 2018 over the weekend, Hillary Clinton addressed these issues, pointing out that she won the popular vote while also winning in the states and cities "that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward." Not stopping there, Clinton accused Trump supporters of buying into the president's racially charged agenda, saying, "You didn't like black people getting rights, you don't like women." Responding to the claims was Kellyanne Conway who did so during a March 12 post on Twitter.

Conway criticism
After Kellyanne Conway tweeted out her response to Hillary Clinton, those who oppose the administration took time to push back. "I believe Mueller is coming for you too!" one tweet read.
Deplorable is about the nicest thing I can think to call you.

I'm not sorry either. You all adopted the term *deplorable* as if it was a badge of honor. You were determined to live up to it.

"Deplorable is about the nicest thing I can think to call you," yet another tweet added. "Says the accused Hatch Act Law breaker. Such a portrait of ethical perfection," an additional tweet noted.
Why should she be sorry? It's turned out to be a fairly accurate characterization.

It's turned out to be a fairly accurate characterization," a follow-up tweet pointed out. Despite Kellyanne Conway's aggressive reaction to Hillary Clinton, the backlash against her response continued, only highlighting the wide political divide that doesn't look to be ending anytime soon.
