'There’s a Special Place in Hell For Women Who Don’t Help Each Other'

The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 8, 2016

Two feminist icons from an earlier generation - Gloria Steinem and Madeleine Albright - chastised younger women for supporting Bernie Sanders this weekend, saying they should be voting for Hillary Clinton.

Younger women who are Sanders supporters, what's your reaction to their rebukes? Comment below, or join the conversation anytime on Twitter @BrianLehrer.

@BrianLehrer wow well gloria steinem really embarrassed herself and actually showed how limited first wave feminism is.

@BrianLehrer so disappointed in their comments! I'm a Hillary supporter but there is no need to shame women or be grumpy about it.

@BrianLehrer just because Hilary is a woman it does not mean she will work for women's rights. Look at Obama with civil rights...

@BrianLehrer I support @BernieSanders. I also love @GloriaSteinem. But the special place in hell is for anyone who follows blindly.
