First that isn't quite what was said. Hillary said 50% of those who supported trump fit in that category.
While it is fair to persuade trump voters not to vote against their own interests,, to push that by falsely characterizing that this is what Hillary and by proxy "Democrats" think is divisive. There are other examples where he has made similar arguments that put the Democratic Party into a negative light where it plays into the theme "there is no difference between the parties", and implies that is why he is not part of it.
Perhaps I am reading to much into it, but that is my take
Let me add that since Perez and him have been touring together, that rhetoric seems not as prevalent
