When MSNBC anchor Tamron Hall went out into the crowd after the New Hampshire debate and began asking “millennial” young people about Hillary’s claim, she discovered they’re pretty disgusted with Hillary playing the “gender card,” The Washington Free Beacon is reporting.
“I also am a woman. I also face discrimination as being a woman. Her feminism does not represent my feminism, and I think it’s really important to differentiate that,” one young woman said. Her complaint is a common one among young women and reveals a generational divide within the Democratic Party.
“You have to realize that, you know, everybody’s human and … you have to go for who has the best ideals,” she said. “Just because she’s a woman doesn’t necessarily make her the best candidate.”

“I’ve been told to stop, and I quote, shouting about gun violence,” Clinton said in October. “Well, first of all, I’m not shouting. It’s just when women talk, some people think we’re shouting.”
