REPORTER: Donald Trump has called your dad an abuser of women, and your mom his enabler. What do you think of his attacks on your parents?
CHELSEA I find what Donald Trump and many of the Republicans say about Americans far more troubling than what he says about my parents. And people have been attacking my parents my whole life, so maybe I am just inured to that, but I tend to think that people who are at the forefront of progress do attract more negative attention from those who want to protect the status quo.
But what I have found surprising and really disturbing in this election cycle is the broad-based misogyny and sexism and racism and Islamophobia and jingoism and homophobia and anti-immigrant rhetoric. All of that is coming out from the Republican side. That somehow has become normalized because it's now just so common, not only [for] Mr. Trump, but for other candidates to say things that I think are so fundamentally un-American.
To call into the question the right of any person who has chosen to come to our country with the intent of working hard and making a contribution and wants a chance at the American Dream, to somehow say that that person disqualifies from being here because of the country they come from, their sexual orientation, or the religion they adhere to, that's what I find far more troubling, and I find that troubling because that does seem to have become unexceptional in a really perverse way.
The hate speech that has somehow become one of the main calling cards of Republicans, I find really, really troubling. (Excerpt) Read more at cosmopolitan.com ...

Chelsea and hubby Marc Mezvinsky live in this $10 million condo.
Chelsea's husband runs a hedge fund that gained access to investors w/ ties to the Clintons and Goldman Sachs---even as reports surfaced that Mezvinsky's hedge fund had "underwhelming" returns.
The WSJ reports extensively on the fund's underperformance since its inception. Also reported was Mezvinsky's mediocre investing and strategizing.
Back in 2011, Mezvinsky, now 37, and two former Goldman Sachs colleagues, Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon, began raising money for Mezvinsky's Eaglevale Partners LP hedge fund.
Some of Eaglevale's investors included Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. Blankfein, a slavish Democrat supporter, said he had "always been a fan of Hillary Clinton."
