Trump's 'bad hombres' and 'nasty woman' remarks stoke online outrage
By Amy Tennery | NEW YORK
U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump stirred social media ire on Wednesday after he said: "We have some bad hombres here" and referred to Democratic rival Hillary Clinton as "such a nasty woman."
The remarks during the third and final presidential debate came as Trump struggles to attract support from Latinos and women ahead of the Nov. 8 presidential election.
During the face-off in Las Vegas, Trump repeated his call for tougher security at the Mexican border, saying: "We have to keep the drugs out of our country." Adding he would also go after major drug dealers in the United States, he said: "We have some bad hombres here and we're going to get them out."
Social media users quickly seized on the remark.
"This #BadHombres is the first of his family to graduate from college, did Americorps & taught in public schools," tweeted José N Miranda.
