Maxine Waters delivered a recent speech in which the 78-year-old Democratic congresswoman claimed to be a millennial.
The California Democrat was explaining how youth movements “are a force.”

“I recognize it,” she stated. “I was a millennial once. No longer of course, but I love what you’re doing.”

It should be noted that while Waters was certainly at one point in her life a young woman, a millennial — based on the two birth decades (1980s, 1990s) officially attributed to said generation — she is not.
“Stay woke.”
