I read the quote - it's a recognition of the tough place young people are in. She even calls for understanding of what they are going through. No smoking gun there...

The level of desperation of the Kellyanne ConJob run campaign is stupefying.

Cherry pick a couple three words and willfully misinterpret them. Lying and Trying to exploit disillusioned Bernie primary supports.

More bullshit from the king of bullshit.

and giving it negative spin.

Thumb on the scale, ratings-driven "journalism". They have no shame.

They're also teasing the unveiling of this "strategy" by covering the Trump event live. Did CNN cover Hillary's policy speech this week concerning expanding national service opportunities for young people ? Of course not. Policy discussions kill ratings.

He said that he knew he'd get called out for his tweet and that he was using it as an opportunity to confront journalists over their focus on unsubstantiated claims and innuendo concerning Hillary.

I heard that audio clip on CNN and she comes across as sympathetic to millennials.

And also say that Trump only reads headlines and doesn't have enough attention span to read/listen to whole story...

Calls Hillary a corporate stooge and a liar and reports that she's murdered 25 millenials for fear they were sleeping with her husband.

to parent's house because of the economy and difficulty of finding a job in today's job market.

So of course they'll lie and spin it.

And she didn't say 'basement dwellers' but doesn't surprise me that some would attempt to frame it that way on Facebook

These recorded comments were supposedly taken from a hacked HRC staffer's email account.

We need to figure out who is doing the hacking.
