Hillary Clinton's campaign on Saturday responded to a leaked recording of her commenting on Bernie Sanders supporters during the primary, saying she was "inspired" by young voters who backed the Vermont senator.

"As Hillary Clinton said in those remarks, she wants young people to be idealistic and set big goals. She is fighting for exactly what millennial generation cares most about — a fairer more equal, just world. She's working to create new pathways to jobs and career opportunities, to build more inclusivity and community, and to ensure everyone gets a fair shot," the statement read.

Clinton's campaign called young voters "the most diverse, open-minded generation in history" who want to be heard, and touted her and Sanders's college plan.

"She's inspired by the optimism and the drive of this generation and Sanders supporters across the country — and they've helped her craft and promote the most progressive platform in Democratic party history," the statement said.

Audio from a February fundraiser leaked Friday showed the now-Democratic nominee giving her take on voters to the left and right of her. She suggested that Sanders supporters were overly idealistic but called for understanding of their disillusionment with their future prospects.

"Some are new to politics completely. They’re children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents’ basement," she said. "They feel they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they don’t see much of a future."

Clinton's Republican rivals have seized on her comments. Donald Trump plans to hit her for the "basement dwellers" remark at a Saturday night speech.

“children of the great recession”...

I find it interesting that she is comparing millennials to the children of the GREAT Depression - when there is a HUGE difference:

Most of those who came out of the Great Depression had a work ethic and a desire to do what is needed to make ends meet - while too many millennials have far less of a work ethic (yes there are some who try hard).

@dinodino, I think you are a Democrat troll infiltrator. True conservatives don’t look at other humans in racial terms; only liberals are obsessed with race. I have reported your abusive language to the admins.

She’s fighting for power and her place in history.

I looked that expression on the Urban Dictionary. It’s not considered racist.

Take the language to 4Chan.

That language was unneccesary, but what is worse is when people on FR blaspheme God, such as when someone types OMFG. Just wanted to let this be known while this thread is active.

Hillary sure keeps her own rapid response team busy defending herself.

‘what is worse is when people on FR blaspheme God, such as when someone types OMFG.’

Agree.

Hillary has the best online shills six million dollars can buy.

Here is what Millennial’s really need to learn:

The American Dream is not that every man
Must be level with every other man.

The American Dream is that every man
Must be FREE To become whatever
GOD intends he should become

“’She’s working to create new pathways to jobs and career opportunities, to build more inclusivity and community, and to ensure everyone gets a fair shot,’ the statement read.”

Yeah, free college tuition, free condoms, free tampons. She’ll get her and Bernie’s billionaire and millionaire buddies to pay for it.

"She’s working to create new pathways to jobs and career opportunities, to build more inclusivity and community, and to ensure everyone gets a fair shot."

I had a lifelong DEMOCRAT tell me that he refuses to vote for Clinton. The biggest reason is that he has standards of decency and the Clinton family fails miserably on that one.

The second biggest reason is that he's tired of (and this is an exact quote): "hearing the same tiresome sh!t out of her that I used to believe in the 60s." The statement above is a perfect example of that.

Basement dwellers. Deplorables. Hillary has a way with words... which comes across as contemptuous.

[dinodino]

Sorry, looks like political correctness has run amok at FR. It’s just an expression.

[Exeter]

I’d also like Mr. Trump to ask this;

If after 30 years of government service you can’t immediately reel off a list of Hillary Clinton’s achievements (legislation, diplomatic successes, etc.), then why in heaven’s name would you want to give her 4 more years when she did nothing with the 30 she’s already wasted?
