'In a case of talk-show Interruptus, I misspoke on the Bill Maher show recently, and apologize for what's been misinterpreted as implying young women aren't serious in their politics. What I had just said on the same show was the opposite: young women are active, mad as hell about what's happening to them, graduating in debt, but averaging a million dollars less over their lifetimes to pay it back. Whether they gravitate to Bernie or Hillary, young women are activist and feminist in greater numbers than ever before.'

(10,650 posts)That's pretty pathetic: "I misspoke". Please. Nothing was misinterpreted.
Gloria wanted to belittle the young women who support Sanders so she took a cheap shot. She should admit that what she said was inappropriate and apologized directly to those young women.
