Like millennials, McKinnon-as-Clinton, fading into a NY accent, said she’s angry too, “because the top 10% of the top 1% control 90% of the wealth”, adding, “I’ve always said that, ever since I was a young boy growing up in Brooklyn”.
The remark raised eyebrows after a Sanders staffer immediately tweeted out video from 1993 of the Vermont senator standing directly behind the then-first lady during a press conference about healthcare.
Right behind you! ‘Where was he when I was trying to get health care in ’93 and ’94?,’Clinton asked at her rally. Her campaign’s response to that?

“I don’t have to defend myself to anybody” on healthcare Poll: “Clinton leads in Florida, Illinois and Ohio Cruz: “Trump nomination a “disaster” for Republicans, conservatives and country MORE, played Kate McKinnon, made a pitch to millennial voters supporting Vermont Sen.
Clinton’s comment Saturday comes one day after she mistakenly praised the Reagans for their fight against HIV/AIDS. “For that, I’m sorry”.
“Exactly”, Clinton spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri told The New York Times, “he was standing behind her”.

“He is literally standing behind her”, Palmieri said. “She was out in front”.
