2. To be fair, there is another way to interpret her statement
I don't like the sound of the statement above, but there are multiple ways to interpret it. It looks like she might have said "hard working Americans" and then clarified "white Americans" to make it clear that she WASN'T saying that blacks don't work hard. If she had said "support among hard working Americans" and NOT added "white Americans", it would have implied that his black supporters are not hard-working Americans.

The statement was tacky, but the way I first read it was the way I described above. I can't listen to the audio because I am at work, so someone who can should check and see if it sounded like she interjected "white" to clarify.
