Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and current Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, said in an interview at a Hillary Clinton fundraiser that she left the Baptist church because she was not happy that she was told about abortion when she was a 6-year-old.
From LifeNews:
"I find it quite insulting sometimes when people say to my mom, my dad or me . . . that they question our faith,' said Chelsea. "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."
"My mother is very deeply a person of faith," Chelsea said. "It is deeply authentic and real for my mother, and it guides so much of her moral compass, but also her life's work."
"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," Chelsea said. "But I find it really challenging when people who are self-professed liberals kind of look askance at my family's history."
On Twitter, many people raised eyebrows at Chelsea's story:
@EsotericCD This is why the left doesn't trust her. Her pandering is so outrageously and obviously false it makes no sense.— Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) February 11, 2016
There is no possible reason for an American child of six years old to have to know what abortion is....None.— Colonel (@laurakfillault) February 11, 2016
@StevenErtelt @SOcean5 6 y/o's are more concerned with Sunday school snacks- I call bullshit— bee kay (@beekaytulsa) February 11, 2016
How does Chelsea get away w/saying crazy stuff like this? She also discussed Bush tax cuts as towers fell on 9/11. https://t.co/zTsWwZvg4f— Karol Markowicz (@karol) February 11, 2016
Two possibilities: 1) she's a bold-faced liar, or 2) she was a really creepy & depraved 6 year old. https://t.co/zE7GwjvQc5— Sarah Rumpf (@rumpfshaker) February 11, 2016
Now, while I'm not a Baptist and I've never been to church in Arkansas, but as someone who helped teach C.C.D. classes to kindergarteners at my parish for two years while I was in high school, I am positive that nothing involving abortion was ever mentioned to my students in my classroom. It's not appropriate to discuss abortion to someone who is that young, and that topic should be saved for someone who is more mature and able to understand what is happening. Further, most 6-year-olds I taught were far more concerned with coloring than social issues.
She left the church at age 6? Her choice huh? Sure thing Chelsea.
I cannot imagine that a 6 year-old would have ideas about being pro-abortion or pro-choice. Clearly this is a fantasy for Chelsea. I think she mis-remembered.
The spawn of the two biggest liars is to believed?
Staying true to form about lying along with momma who said she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary who climbed Mt. Everest three years after she was born.
So at age six she left the Baptist church because they opposed the right for women to murder their unborn children?
A six year old makes decisions about what color to make the crayola picture of her daddy (Webb Hubble) not ponder the God’s word about life. Six year old kids are lucky to make it to the potty on time.
The campaign needed some pro-abort material from their millenial darling. Chels immediately consulted her step-Dad’s bio:
“Eager to escape the turmoil at home, at age 6, Bill began walking a mile alone to attend Park Place Baptist Church after his family relocated to Hot Springs, Arkansas. None of his friends attended this church, but Clinton “felt the need†to go. “
This is as big a lie as “Chelsea was just down the block when the Towers went down,” These Clintons are soulless shameless swine.
Is being dishonest a genetic trait?
Chelsea protesteth a bit much. Further, what 6 year old understands about abortion, what kind of “church” is teaching 6 year old children about birds and bees and what 6 year old make the decision to leave any organization on their own. Web Hubble’s daughter is a biggeer liar than her mom or step dad.
Poor kid was abused as a child, no other explanation.
What a deep thinker that Chelsea is. To be aware of and opposed to abortion at age six. What a load of crap. The three Clintons lie so much it’s instinctive for them now.
Shut up Chelsea, you are an idiot, keep that fact to your self.
Sure thing because six year olds engage in magical thinking. Seems Chelsea is stuck there
IIRC, Hillary actually taught Sunday School at some point.
Let’s test your DNA there, Chelsea.
If she is that pro-abortion, then why doesn’t she kill her own babies?
She’s a chip off the old block and a credit to her party.
Pro-life aside, C says her mother’s faith is her “moral compass.” MORAL COMPASS??? Does this family just make up stuff all day long?
