Chelsea Clinton: It's 'insulting' when people question my family's faith
Washington Times ^ | Feb 9, 2016 | Jessica Chasmar

Chelsea Clinton said God and religion guides so much of her mother's "moral compass" that she can't help but feel insulted when people question her family's faith.

"My mother is very deeply a person of faith," Ms. Clinton, the only child of former President Bill Clinton and Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, said at a recent fundraiser, the New York Post reported.

"It is deeply authentic and real for my mother, and it guides so much of her moral compass, but also her life's work," the 35-year-old added.

Hillary was raised as a Methodist, Bill grew up as a Baptist, and Chelsea's husband, Marc Mezvinsky, is Jewish. Chelsea explained that her family's religious diversity doesn't diminish their commitment to God, the New York Post reported.

"I find it quite insulting sometimes when people say to my mom, my dad or me … that they question our faith," she said. "I was raised in a Methodist church and I left the Baptist church before my dad did, because I didn't know why they were talking to me about abortion when I was 6 in Sunday school - that's a true story."

"I recognized that there were many expressions of faith that I don't agree with and feel [are] quite antithetical to how I read the Bible," she said. "But I find it really challenging when people who are self-professed liberals kind of look askance at my family's history."

Was it love, lust, or just for political purposes?
I doubt any of them will ever confess.

The Bible says, “ By their fruit you shall know them.” The fruit produced by your parents is rotten. Christians live a life of repentance and trying to live the teachings of Jesus, nothing like the life they have lived.

Chealsea, Chelsea, Chelsea,

Your dad is a grifting rapist with only a talent for schmoozing gullable (and stupid) wenches.

Your mother is an ignorant sl*t who has never had a real job and couldn’t pass the bar, so she mooched off your dat to eat.

And as for you.......well...the turd doesn’t fall far from the toilet.

I feel sorry for her. Imagine having those two sociopaths for parents.

Is Chelsea insulted when we question who her daddy REALLY is?

Only know of one possibility.

If you are implying it is someone other than Web, inquiring minds want to know who!

I'm sure the god she refers to is Mammon.

I find your Mother very insulting when she LIED to the families of the four American Men she allowed to be butchered and murdered in Benghazi...

and then...LIED TO THE American people when she said, she didn’t do that, that the families are lying about her...

I used to think Chelsea was just ignorant because of her sheltered life and her parent’s influence on her. In recent months, it’s become clear hse is a hard-wired true-believer, and every bit as soulless as her parents.

Chelsea must wake up and smell the coffee. Her parents are thieving liars and her dad is a serial rapist.

While Hill told Bill she getting with Foster AND Hubbell to ‘win’ a Rose Law Firm partnership, the lip tells the tale!

That lip!

We won't be rid of the Clintons any time soon...

The MSM is already planting the seed for the third generation
