not just from GOPers, but Dems, liberals, and progressives.

Didn't state that clearly above, that seemed to be a low point as if he was going after teenagers as a whole. There are many on social media (resisters) that didn't find it amusing and think he should apologize.

I would have rather him say the cold hard truth about Trump. He is a vile, racist, sexist, xenophobic piece of trash period.

If he is going to be on the respect level of Obama, Biden, the Clintons, and even Gore, he has to be more careful about choice of words in the future, especially if you are trying to sell books.
