About a month ago Chelsea Clinton, an author and daughter to Bill and Hillary, spoke out against controversial remarks made by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) that were widely viewed as anti-Semitic.
Clinton tweeted: “We should expect all elected officials, regardless of party, and all public figures to not traffic in anti-Semitism.”
Juts a few weeks later, Clinton was verbally ambushed at a New York University vigil for the victims of the horrific New Zealand mosque massacre that left at least 50 dead and many more injured.
There was a lot of backlash to the video posted on Twitter that showed left wing agitators tell Clinton that her condemnation of Omar’s remarks last month motivated the New Zealand killer. “49 people died because of the rhetoric you put out there,” said one student.
Donald Trump, Jr. even came to Clinton’s defense, saying “Chelsea should be praised for speaking up.”
Those on the right stepping up to defend Chelsea Clinton were not received well by the rage capitalists on the left who make a living and gain fame and followers by fanning the flames of outrage.
Teen Vogue writer Vanessa Taylor was one such leftist who took issue with Clinton’s remarks, and her defenders. In a series of tweets, she wrote:
if Chelsea Clinton didn’t want to be confronted over her Islamophobia while pregnant, maybe she should’ve shut her fucking mouth over the past month.

idk how to break it to you, but public figures absolutely need to be confronted AND recorded so they cannot try to lie later on.

What Ms. Taylor conveniently forgets to mention in her nasty, hate-filled opportunistic rant is that no one is arguing that public figures “shouldn’t be confronted.” It’s the manner in which these unhinged harpies chose to do it that is in question.
Clinton said nothing by which any reasonable person should get offended. Noting we must condemn anti-Semitism in all forms is not “Islamophobic rhetoric.” It’s the truth. If these students – and Taylor – truly were proponents of a “world free from hate”, they would be applauding Clinton, not tearing her down.
Furthermore, Clinton’s husband Marc Mezvinsky is Jewish. In condemning anti-Semitism, Clinton was and is defending and protecting her family – including her unborn child. Any sane person would understand and appreciate that, but we are living in incredibly stupid times, y’all.
We are living under the Maxine Waters rule of law now, where aggressive political and personal confrontation by radical leftists over policy disagreements is encouraged, supported, and well-funded.
These are also particularly hazardous times if you’re a woman in America, thanks to Democrats and their organized mobs. Not only are you told to obediently go along with a movement that seeks to eradicate female accomplishments and shush women’s voices in the name of “equality” and “fairness”, but when you step up to defend and protect your family from dangerous rhetoric, you’re told to shut up and know your privilege.
Ironically, Taylor later whined on her Twitter feed about the angry comments she’s gotten in response to her unhinged rant. Bless her heart.
