The crass comments were revealed in a new book by journalist Ryan Grim titled: “The Squad: AOC and the Hope of a Political Revolution.” According to the book, the comments were a testament to Bill Clinton’s disappointment in his wife’s 2016 presidential campaign.
The former president’s criticism was aimed at Hillary’s campaign team’s use of identity politics against her main competition, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT). The book mentions that this strategy likely backfired, pushing potential moderate voters towards Sanders, who spoke plainly. In contrast, Hillary used language that was seen as elitist.
Grim’s book claims that Bill Clinton’s frustration with the campaign’s strategy was expressed to a friend when he stated that it was so bad, they “could not sell p***y on a troop train.”
