Hillary Clinton mocked Donald Trump on Monday for having "six guys named Steve" on his economic advisory council, a point that was frequently joked about after he unveiled the team ahead of his major economic policy speech in Detroit on Monday.
"Well, so today in Detroit he's got, oh, I don't know, a dozen or so economic advisers he just named, hedge fund guys, billionaire guys, six guys named Steve, apparently," she said during a rally in St. Petersburg, Florida.
She added that they "tried to make his old, tired ideas sound new" in his major Detroit speech.
The "six guys named Steve" Clinton spoke about were banker Stephen Calk; financier Steve Feinberg; Steve Mnuchin, Trump's national finance director; Steve Roth, the founder and CEO of Vornado Realty Trust; Steve Moore, a former economic columnist for The Wall Street Journal; and Stephen Miller, Trump's policy director, who leads the 13-member group that was announced on Friday by the Trump campaign.
The most common complaint against the group was that, although it included six men named Steve, it did not include any women.
