Bill Clinton bashes millennials for America’s low incomes

Former President Bill Clinton went off-script, again. Instead of yelling at #BlackLivesMatter activists or calling Bernie Bros “sexist,” he’s now angry at millennials as an entire generation — blaming them for America’s sagging incomes.

“If all the young people who claim to be disillusioned now had voted in 2010, we wouldn’t have lost the Congress, and we’d probably have our incomes back,” Clinton said at a speech in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania [VIDEO].

Clinton was trying to justify his wife’s struggles to defeat socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, in particular her struggle to win over younger voters. “The reason that there’s so much anxiety, intensity, anger, blame in this election is that 80 percent of the American people have not gotten a pay raise since the crash eight years ago, after inflation,” he said.

“A lot of young people feel like they’ve played by the rules, went to school, they’re gonna graduate with debt they can’t repay, or they’ve already graduated with debt they can’t repay, and they may not ever get to do what they really wanted to do with their lives.”

Clinton’s turn against millennials isn’t much of a surprise. Other Democrats have blamed them for their low turnout in off-year elections. Despite 48 percent of millennials feeling no loyalties to a political party, Democrats think all millennials should automatically vote for them by default. If they don’t, their “apathetic” or “disillusioned.”
