"Donald Trump
unveiled a new visual campaign theme in Miami on Friday – a mashup of
the Broadway musical 'Les Misérables' and an epithet Hillary Clinton
leveled at his supporters one week ago.
He
took the stage, introduced by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani,
as the 'Les Mis' anthem 'Do You Hear the People Sing' blasted through
loudspeakers.
The
video screen behind the podium flashed to an artistic rendering of 'Les
Deplorables,' complete with USA and 'Trump' flags replacing the French
colors, and a bald eagle soaring over the revolutionary scene.
'Welcome to all of you deplorables!' Trump boomed as thousands screamed 'Trump! Trump! Trump!' and 'We love you!'
(Hillary) Clinton said 'half' of Trump voters belonged in 'the basket of deplorables' as 'racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic [and] Islamaphobic' Republicans.

'Some of those folks – they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America,' Clinton said.
His
(Trump's) supporters have embraced the Clinton label and worn it as a badge of
honor, and in the space of just a few days Trump rally-goers have
already begun to sport 'I am deplorable' t-shirts and signs.
'My opponent slanders you as "deplorable" and "irredeemable" – boy that second word is tough,' he said Friday night.
'You don't hear that much. It means you can never come back.'
The
man who created the artwork he used Friday, an artist known online as
'Keln,' was banned from using Reddit on Saturday, shortly after posting
the image there.
He first posted it to a right-wing blog called 'The Conservative Treehouse.'
'I
made the Les Deplorables meme on @Reddit last Saturday,' he would later
write on Twitter. 'Been banned ever since. They won't respond to tell
me why.'
He wrote on his blog, NukingPolitics.com, that he suspected Reddit had an anti-Trump bias.
'Apparently
Reddit is even more sensitive than Twitter or Google or Facebook when
it comes to anything that does not align to their political thinking,'
he wrote.
'This
is digital book burning people. It is time to avoid these companies.
Make them suffer and turn their overpriced stocks into napkins. They
have no business doing business.'
Just before the Trump rally began, his Reddit account was reinstated.
He was pleased the Trump campaign used his artwork.
'Thank
you @realDonaldTrump for using my meme to stick it to Hillary and her
ilk. #MAGA We are just gonna keep winning,' he tweeted.
'I made it, I am glad He used it,' he added, insisting the Trump campaign had a right to turn his work into a campaign backdrop."

"For those who might not be aware, the following “Les Deplorables” graphic image was created by “Keln” a brilliant Treeper. ATTRIBUTION VALIDATION: Keln first posted his graphic on September 10th at 1:22pm – ORIGINATION SOURCE HERE
Today, Keln’s artwork hit the big time as the Trump campaign used Keln’s image for the opening entry of Donald Trump on stage in Miami as candidate Trump took to the stage with the soundtrack of Les Miserables.
The image was also used by Drudge, I saved a screen grab for you Keln."...
==========================
Added: Hillary, the Great Divider: On Sept. 16, 2016 she's still spewing bigotry and can't stop herself from inciting hatred and anti-American feeling, telling the world of, "bigotry and bias that lurks in our country.”"After decades at the public trough, how could she know anything about America? Hillary tells the world a US citizen can't ask about credentials of a presidential candidate or a president if the person isn't white.
This of course is false, incites racial hatred, and incites anti-American feeling. When you can't defend your own ideas in the public square this is what you do. You gin up hatred, try to divide the country, and keep the focus off yourself:
9/16/16, "Trump Rallies Support In Miami," CBS Miami
"“For five years he’s led the birth movement to delegitimize our first black president,” said Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. “He’s feeding into the worst impulses – bigotry and bias that lurks in our country.”" (end of article)
