And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up,” she said in her speech. The ad lets the camera linger on groups of Trump supporters while a female voice says, “You know what’s deplorable? Hillary Clinton demonizing hardworking people like you.” By Monday morning, some Trump supporters had changed their names on Twitter to include the word “deplorable.” The ad was posted the same day Hillary Clinton had to leave the September 11 memorial ceremony Sunday morning after becoming overheated, according to her campaign. Her doctor later released a statement saying Clinton is being treated for pneumonia. Clinton’s health has long been the subject of speculation by right-wing conspiracy theorists. [Trump wished Clinton](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/13/us/politics/donald-trump-campaign.html) well in a Monday morning interview on Fox, saying “something’s going on, but I just hope she gets well and gets back on the trail and we’ll be seeing her at the debate.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4487418/trump-slams-clinton-for-deplorables-comment-in-new-ad/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4487418/trump-slams-clinton-for-deplorables-comment-in-new-ad/"},"headline":"Donald Trump Slams Hillary Clinton for 'Deplorables' Comment in New Ad","datePublished":"2016-09-12T14:26:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T00:31:53.009Z","description":"'People like you, you, and you'","url":"https://time.com/4487418/trump-slams-clinton-for-deplorables-comment-in-new-ad/","keywords":["Donald Trump","Hillary Clinton","Clinton","Ad","trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4c22c0223c0cbea2/6988a57d0a4a22356d9cb365/gettyimages-602405156.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Charlotte Alter","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/charlotte-alter/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4c22c0223c0cbea2/6988a57d0a4a22356d9cb365/gettyimages-602405156.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"US-VOTE-DEMOCRATS-CLINTON","caption":"US-VOTE-DEMOCRATS-CLINTON","creditText":"Brendan Smialowski—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4487418/trump-slams-clinton-for-deplorables-comment-in-new-ad/","name":"Donald Trump Slams Hillary Clinton for 'Deplorables' Comment in New Ad"}}]}] ```
