"There is a persistent, organized effort to misrepresent my record, and I don’t appreciate that, and I feel sorry for a lot of the young people who are fed this list of misrepresentations,” Clinton said. “I know that Sen. Sanders spends a lot of time attacking my husband, attacking President Obama. I rarely hear him say anything negative about George W. Bush, who I think wrecked our economy.”
David Axelrod, who served as a top adviser to President Barack Obama, warned Clinton on CNN against portraying Sanders’ young supporters as “dupes” instead of taking a hard look at why they’re attracted to the Vermont senator.
Axelrod said that it is understandable Clinton feels frustrated because the Sanders campaign keeps hitting her, but he cautioned
Clinton against being dismissive of Sanders’ appeal to young
voters.
“One thing I would stay away from, I would stay away from the insinuation that these young people who are inspired by Bernie Sanders are dupes and they are being fed misinformation and that is why they are enthusiastic about Bernie Sanders,” Axelrod said.
