Clinton Aide: Protesters Don’t Want $15 An Hour – Zach Carter Senior Political Economy Reporter, The Huffington Post

WASHINGTON ― A former aide to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama cautioned the Democratic Party against “moving policy to the left” in response to the wave of public protests targeting President Donald Trump, telling MSNBC: “You are wrong to look at these crowds and think that means everyone wants $15 an hour.”

“I actually think the real energy is not just with the base. These are apolitical people that are turning out,” Jennifer Palmieri said in an appearance on Chuck Todd’s show last week. Palmieri served as communications director for both the Obama White House and Clinton’s presidential campaign.

Clinton campaigned on a $15 minimum wage as part of the Democratic Party’s official 2016 platform.
