Eric Hovde Repeatedly Criticizes Young People

Wisconsin U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde (R) “has repeatedly accused young people of poor work ethic, drug use and crime, recordings from Hovde’s former speaking engagements show,” the Daily Cardinal reports.

In one talk, he labeled college students who protested as “so stupid” and said students cannot respectfully debate on college campuses anymore.

In another he said: “There’s something going on with our younger people not entering into the labor force, but they have in the past. I fear part of it could be the big chronic drug problem that our country has had with opiates. I think part of it is kids haven’t been taught the same work ethic that the Baby Boom generation has.”
