“Deserted by Latinos, blacks and his feckless lazy Millennial supporters…”
Geraldo Rivera declared on Twitter Wednesday that the Democrats’ wave defeat was all about race and age. Obama, he wrote, was “deserted” by Latinos, blacks and “his feckless lazy Millennial supporters,” which allowed the president to get his “a** kicked” by “millions of angry old white folk.”
Deserted by Latinos, blacks and his feckless lazy Millennial supporters, President O got his ass kicked by millions of angry old white folk

In addition to the racial implications of his statement (sure sounds like the description of a lynching…), as Twitchy notes, Rivera’s assertion is egregious in its assumptions about age demos:
By the way, according to CNN’s exit polls, Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., won among 30-44 year old voters. So did Joni Ernst, Tom Cotton, Mitch McConnell, Mike Rounds, Scott Walker, and many other Republicans. Must have been those angry, old 30-44 year old voters, right Geraldo?
