Steve Russell blames campaign loss on millennials…

From Hooters and other boob-themed restaurants, to Kraft American Cheese and my parents’ marriage, it seems like the millennial generation is ruining everything nowadays. While usually the generation sticks to destroying things by using social media and (lack of) purchasing power, last week the kids used voting to rock the political boat and throw Steve Russell overboard.

Steve Russell served as Oklahoma's U.S. representative for the 5th Congressional District for two terms before being unseated in last week's election by underdog Kendra Horn.

For the first time since the election, Russell is talking about why he thinks he lost. In a Facebook post he wrote Monday titled "Breaking the Silence," Russell reflects on his re-election campaign and why he lost -- the main reason being the changing demographics.

"I continued to hold the Republican base and perform well among some Independents and Democrats, but the rapid core of annual millennial population growth of 20 percent since 2010 made a direct correlation to the electorate," Russell posted.
