Mar 2019

"Chelsea Clinton was accused of stoking Islamophobia at a vigil at NYU for the victims of the terrorist attack in New Zealand, in which 49 Muslims were killed. A now-deleted video of the confrontation was uploaded to Twitter,and in it, you can see a woman speaking to Clinton in a raised voice. During the conversation, she appears to link the former first daughter’s reaction to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s recent comments about AIPAC’s influence on Congress to the rhetoric that motivated the attack’s alleged perpetrator, Brenton Tarrant.

“This is the result of a massacre, stoked by people like you and the words that you put out into the world,” she said. “And I want you to know that and I want you to feel that deep inside.”

The accuser was wearing a Sanders 2020 shirt.

Please learn how to talk about Jews in a non-anti-Semitic way. Sincerely, American Jews.

Co-signed as an American. We should expect all elected officials, regardless of party, and all public figures to not traffic in anti-Semitism.

Chelsea's attacker thinks caused the slaughter in NZ.

Chelsea's point is that words matter.

What do the actions of the attacker suggest?

about.

Stacie Rose..

It was a VIGIL for peace and mourning. Chelsea was INVITED by the Muslim group hosts because of her YEARS of work on campus with them. The raging *********** was not. She made a solemn moment of solidarity about HER. That was disrespectful to the moment, the dead and the hosts.


I don't have the actual tweet because I couldn't get rid of the "parent" tweet.. it was hogwash propaganda.

Do you think the media should report on this?

I think if one of the Bush daughters was attacked like this... say, by a right wing nut wearing a Trump shirt don't you think it would make the news?

do its due diligence? I doubt it.

There are receipts for "sippin on dat's" homophobic and racial slurs @ chris evans' twitter feed if you scroll down 4. I'm not posting it on DU.. and there's no way anyone should be supporting her here.

is pregnant. Which I did not know until I watched the video. It wasn't just one person. There were at least 3, probably more people ganging up on her. Absolutely disgusting display they engaged in.

I thought better of posting the tweet of "receipts" by Chris Evans. It's full of racist and homophobic slurs by "sippinondat", the student who attacked Chelsea. I don't want that exposed here.

There's no way anyone on this board should be sticking up for that.

Sorry but I'm going to need to see a bit more proof of this 'attackers' (it was just words, right? or did I miss something?) affinity for Bernie Sanders before I jump onto that particular band-wagon. It's not like Bernie throws out dog-whistles for all his supporters to hate the Clinton's on a daily basis, unlike ... someone we know.

....(on the Bernie supporter's side) political exchange. The use of the word "attacked" is just playing into the hands of those (Russians, who else???) who want to foment hatred between groups in the U.S.
