Hillary Clinton says young people became pro-Palestinian because they viewed “totally made up” videos and “pure propaganda” on social media. She made the remarks at the Israel Hayom conference in New York City today. The event was hosted by Trump donor Miriam Adelson.

I don't understand where these people think American "culture" comes from in the first place? How are we even having to contemplate stupidity on this level?
