Chelsea Clinton: Someday, someone's mother will be president

By jocelyn noveck, ap national writer

NEW YORK — Apr 21, 2017, 6:52 PM ET

Chelsea Clinton stayed away from politics and stuck to the subject of childhood obesity Friday at a Variety magazine event honoring prominent women and their charity work — except for her last line.

Responding to a pointed quip hours earlier from emcee Vanessa Bayer, a "Saturday Night Live" cast member, that none of the honorees' mothers was president of the United States, Clinton reminded her that maybe not, "but someday, someone's (mother) will be." The line got one of the biggest cheers of the afternoon.

Honored at the Variety Power of Women: New York awards along with Clinton, who spoke of her work with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, were actresses Blake Lively, Jessica Chastain and Audra McDonald, TV personality Gayle King and businesswomen Tina Knowles-Lawson and Shari Redstone.

There were a number of references to Bill O'Reilly and his firing by Fox News Channel after several sexual-harassment allegations, which he denies. Gretchen Carlson, the former Fox anchor whose sexual-harassment lawsuit against then-Fox chairman Roger Ailes triggered his downfall and set the stage for O'Reilly's, received a huge ovation at the start of the event and a thank you from Lena Dunham at the podium.

"When you work in a corporate infrastructure the challenge of coming out about sexual harassment is so massive," said Dunham, who was introducing Chastain. "And to see a woman who surmounted that and bravely made space for other women to do the same is just deeply inspiring."

... at a Variety magazine event honoring prominent women and their charity work ...

With the Clintons, charity both begins and ends with themselves.

What was Variety thinking? That their subscribers are too self-involved to notice the Haitian "charity" problem of Chelsea Clinton?

“But not yours you freakin idiot. Why in the F does anyone give 2 shits about this unaccomplished ahole?”

Dittos.

The MSM foisting her on popular culture is just one of the many reasons why Trump won (thank God).

That Chelsea never ceases to amaze with her depth of knowledge. If at some
point the USA does have a female President it will only be a first for
the USA but not the first world wide by a long shot. Lots of females are
heads of state or leaders of their gov’t.

Here’s a listing of some:

I don’t either. I also don’t understand why this item has not been in the news; or at least here on FR. Well yes, I DO understand why the Drive-bys haven’t reported it. Anyhow, Chelsea was in the slammer and nobody knows about it. When the page opens, keep scrolling down to get the whole story in bits and pieces.

People keep telling me what this wretched, misshapen creature utters as if I give any kind of a flying f*** at all.

Please, Lord, cause Chelsea Hubbell to spontaneously combust and turn to ashes in such a way that someone films it so I can watch a few times.

Amen.

So what if a woman becomes president? If she’s the best candidate, no problem.
