A group of NYU students confronted Chelsea Clinton on Friday over her recent condemnation of Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, leaving the former first daughter apologizing profusely.
The confrontation took place at an NYU vigil meant to honor the 49 people that were murdered Friday when a shooter opened fire inside two different mosques in central Christchurch, New Zealand.
My best friend @vivafalastin told @ChelseaClinton that it’s a disgrace that she came to the vigil, calling out Chelsea’s Islamophobia and hypocrisy. pic.twitter.com/8sdWH86BhB

“I’m so sorry that you feel that way. It was certainly never my intention. I do believe words matter. I believe we have to show solidarity,” Clinton stated when approached by students.
“This right here is the result of the massacre stoked by people like you and the words that you have put out into the world,” one student responded. “I want you to know that. I want you to feel that deep inside. The 49 people died because of the rhetoric you put out there.”
The student was referencing the comments Clinton made against Omar last month after the Minnesota congresswoman accused the pro-Israel lobbying group American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) of buying pro-Israel support.

I can hardly stand to see liberals being skewered by progressive fascists. It is simply unseemly.
Score! There’s blood in the water now.
Trump has 2020 in the bag.
Thank God Chelsea is finally getting the blame for all her rhetoric.
So, how long before these progs blame the Jews?
The Red Guards have spoken! Humiliate and shame the racist pig woman!
Could you guys hang on for a second while I get my chum bucket?!
She’s so dumb. She should have told security the bitch just threatened her and have her locked up.
So Chelsea Clinton is the missing link between this guy and Chinese eco-fascism? It’s all beginning to make sense to me now.
Words DO matter. Note that she very specifically does NOT apologize for what she said, only that others feel something about it.
So she just apologized for denouncing anti-Semitism.
“So she just apologized for denouncing anti-Semitism.”
LOL, exactly.
All those high-falutin’ degrees she has really mean a lot, don’t they? /sarc
Maybe Marc Singer helped out.
This is my favorite part of the series when the cast characters begin to eat their own.
Let me get this straight, so taken at face value, calling out anti-Semitism is somehow responsible for some nutcase opening fire on a people known for trafficking in anti-Semitism? Sounds like common core theology to me.
Trump wasn’t responsible, the basket of deplorable’s wasn’t responsible, not even this idiot was responsible.
The perp, the perp, the perp!
Morons attacking a moron. Carry on!
I guess the next time Muslims shoot up or bomb a place, they can blame that on Chelsea too. If only she hadn’t riled them up by her “Islamophobic” comments about Omar.
Parse the apology: “I’m sorry you feel that way.”
That’s no apology. That’s the same customer service gibberish you get from people who aren’t going to do anything about it.
An apology is an admission of guilt to the perpetually aggrieved, Hillary Jr.
You of all people should know that.
Gee.
I don’t remember any vigils for the 12 Egyptian Christians beheaded on the beach for their faith.
No, she’s just the missing link.
