Donald Trump blamed the country’s divisiveness on “people like” Hillary Clinton during Sunday night’s debate, accusing her of having “tremendous hate in her heart.”

“We have a divided nation because people like her,” Trump said. “And believe me, she has tremendous hate in her heart.”

Trump then brought up Clinton’s comments from September in which she said half of his supporters were in what she called a “basket of deplorables” for being racist, sexist, and bigoted. She also said they were “irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America.” She later expressed regret for those remarks.

“When she said deplorables she meant it,” Trump said on Sunday night. “When she said irredeemable, to me, that might have been even worse.”
