During a Friday night fundraiser in New York, the Democratic presidential nominee said that “half” of Trump’s supporters can be placed in a “basket of deplorables,” meaning that they are racist, homophobic or xenophobic.

In a statement Saturday, Clinton expressed “regret” for being “grossly generalistic” and using the characterization of “half” but also said — as she has several times before — that the Republican nominee is amplifying views of the alt-right and white supremacists.

The guidance issued to surrogates says that Clinton has “apologized” — a word she did not use — for saying “most” rather than “some” and notes that “obviously not everyone supporting Trump is part of the alt right.” But, the guidance says, “it is deplorable that Trump has built his campaign largely on prejudice and paranoia and given a national platform to hateful views and voices.”

The memo goes on to say “IF PUSHED,” surrogates should raise concerns about media fairness.

“I think we can all agree that if Donald Trump said something controversial about Clinton supporters, it wouldn’t have been in his top ten list of offensive statements in day,” the advice reads. “It’s well past time the press stopped grading Trump on a curve. So is the press going to cover this story in the right [context], or are they going to hold Hillary to a different standard again? Are they going to make more out of this story than they made out of the racist, misogynistic Trump comments that got us here in the first place?”

The guidance also includes suggested comments — “only if asked” — on what to say about Clinton and her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine, being “on different pages” about whether Clinton should have apologized for the episode.

Shortly before Clinton issued a statement on the matter Saturday, Kaine, a senator from Virginia, said in an interview with The Washington Post that he didn’t see a need for her to apologize.
