Chelsea Clinton Fires Back At Homocon Blogger
February 20, 2018 Fake News, Homocons
Last night Chelsea Clinton fired back at Jim Hoft, the homocon founder of the fake news site Gateway Pundit, who is part of the now-widespread right wing attacks on the survivors of the Parkland massacre.
Hoft is taking particular aim at astonishingly articulate Parkman survivor David Hogg, whom Hoft accuses of having been coached by his retired FBI father because the FBI is only looking to curb YOUR Constitutional rights and INCREASE their power. (No link because fuck that guy.)
Hoft and several others are currently being sued in federal court for falsely naming a Michigan teen as last years killer Nazi in Charlottesville.

(25,902 posts)I seriously doubt she has any political ambitions. Especially given that she's seen how the real world treated her mother when Hillary was running for President.

(4,492 posts)The district that includes Chappaqua's congresswoman is in her 80s. (I grew up in this district). I'm not sure what the bench looks like, but I think she'd clear the field.

(25,902 posts)And what evidence you have of such grooming? Is she out there getting front and center on the issues? Does she even live in that district?

(30,817 posts)The last thing we need is another Clinton witch hunt. I can just see them blaming her for complicity in her father's indiscretions! And somehow she was in on the email 'scandal.'
Maybe in a decade or two.

(30,817 posts)A great candidate can be brought down with a smear campaign, and some are more vulnerable to it than others.
That was my main objection to Hillary running for president. She was an easy target for the GOP, and a lot of people hated her right out of the gate, so would be more likely to believe the smears.
Chelsea would bear some of that handicap and be partly hobbled by it, before people even got to know her.
A decade down the road, the Clintons will have receded into the background, and people will have forgotten about all the hate and division and remember them with dim fondness.
Chelsea might stand a chance then. In fact, she might be great.

That coaching took place over a 15 year period and is more commonly referred to as parenting.

(5,542 posts)I am proud she is good student
I am proud she is a hard worker
I am proud she is well behaved
But I think I am most proud that her values are straight up progressive.
Thank goodness for apples falling close to trees.

(1,402 posts)I have always loved Hillary, Chelsea and Bill Clinton. They are intelligent, caring human beings. I know one thing, when Bill Clinton was President, I had more money in my own pocket. I truly believe they care about all people not just lining their own pockets.

Fuck conservatives and anyone who supports them or is identified as such.

(44 posts)Conservatives believe these kids aren't smart enough to articulate their thoughts; that they are not clever enough to use social media to organize a large scale rally--goes a long way to explain why conservative are so out of touch with the modern world. First nobody cares how they came up with the idea of a nation-wide protest or if someone's father coached his kid on what to say--who cares! You gotta get help from somewhere and you'd be stupid not to ask!!! The conservatives want to know who it is so they can use foxnews to go after them.
