Chelsea to Sarah Sanders: Ted Nugent once called Hillary 'c*nt'--Trump invited HIM to the White House

Growing up, the daughter of former First Lady Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton has heard more disgusting slurs and falsehoods against her family than most can imagine. So when news came out Thursday that TV pundit Samantha Bee called Ivanka Trump a “reckless c*nt,” I’m betting Chelsea Clinton barely flinched, if at all. But Trump’s White House and Republicans went haywire and begin attacking Bee in hopes of getting her fired.

The White House and most every GOP political pundit demanded that TBS drop Samantha Bee’s “Full Frontal” show and compared Bee’s comment about Ivanka to Roseanne Barr’s extreme racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett. ABC canceled Roseanne’s hit comeback show, and rather than being outraged with Roseanne’s comment, Republicans became the thirsty for revenge—and Samantha Bee looked like a good target.

That’s why they were probably surprised when Chelsea Clinton got on Twitter Thursday afternoon and helped remind the White House, and the world, of that time in 1994 when Trump-supporting gun-enthusiast and former musician Ted Nugent called Hillary, the then First Lady of the United States— a “c*nt” during a magazine interview.

Jacqueline Thomson with The Hill writes:

Clinton shared a tweet by Shareblue writer Oliver Willis, who put a transcript of Nugent’s use of the crude term next to an image of the musician with Trump. Willis captioned the photos “something something something samantha bee fake outrage something.”



In her tweet, Chelsea Clinton added:

“I keep hoping for consistency too, Oliver. Though I’m not holding my breath!”

Men who Trump praised AFTER their sexual improprieties were made public.

The 63 million idiots who voted for Trump can take their phony outrage over the C-word and shove it.
