Steinem has since walked back her comments in a Facebook post, writing that her remarks were “misinterpreted as implying young women aren’t serious in their politics”.
Clinton told the young crowd that even though they may be voting for Bernie Sanders, she’s about helping them and she has the scars to show that she’s fought the establishment. “Whether they gravitate to Bernie or Hillary, young women are activist and feminist in greater numbers than ever before”.

Bill Clinton was referring to the “Berniebros” – mobs of Sanders supporters who attack those criticizing Sanders or supporting Hillary Clinton online with crude, sexist language.
Viewers of the MSNBC-hosted event witnessed the first debate of the primary season between just two candidates – former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. “I feel differently about her than I’m sure that my daughters do and the younger women do”.
Hats off to the Sanders’ campaign, for amping up the current narrative by asking tougher questions about Secretary Clinton’s relationship to Wall Street banks.
Sanders has repeatedly distanced himself from supporters who have used offensive language.

“You can’t offer a healthcare program [if] you don’t know what it costs”, Bill Clinton said.

The argument that Clinton may be hiding something about her relationship with big banks and corporate America holds, especially in light of her campaign’s unwillingness to release the transcripts of talks and speeches she gave over the past many years.
