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, Im betting Chelsea Clinton barely flinched, if at all. But Trumps 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 Bees Full Frontal show and compared Bees comment about Ivanka to Roseanne Barrs extreme racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett. ABC canceled Roseannes hit comeback show, and rather than being outraged with Roseannes comment, Republicans became the thirsty for revengeand Samantha Bee looked like a good target.
Thats 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 Nugents 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 Im not holding my breath!
