Jen Psaki MSNBC Gaffe, Silent Generation vs Baby Boomers
MSNBC host Jen Psaki incorrectly identified Joe Biden as a Baby Boomer during a segment comparing his age to Donald Trump. Biden, born in 1942, belongs to the Silent Generation, while the oldest Baby Boomers were born in 1946. Critics noted the irony of a professional media staff allowing such a factual error during a segment about political gaffes.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared on the Pod Save America podcast, discussing the generational divide within the Democratic Party leadership. She noted that the party's top leaders, including Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, belong to the Silent Generation, while the rest of the leadership is dominated by Boomers.
