Philippine Leader Hurls Raunchy Diatribe At Chelsea Clinton

"Chelsea Clinton attacked Duterte on Twitter after he told his soldiers in a speech last Friday that he would take the fall for them if they raped up to three women — but all bets were off with four, which may have been the “joke.” Clinton tweeted in response that rape is “Not funny. Ever.”

.........


"Duterte called his critics “whores” and said Thursday that he was being “sarcastic” when he made the rape comments. His spokesman had said earlier that he was using “heightened bravado” to boost morale among the soldiers who are enforcing newly instituted martial law on Mindinao in a crackdown on Islamic militants.

Duterte directed his fury at Chelsea Clinton. “When your father was screwing Lewinsky and the rest of the young girls there in the office of the president, on the table ... on the sofa, did you raise any” criticism? Duterte asked in a speech Thursday, according to The Associated Press. Chelsea Clinton was a teenager during the Lewinsky scandal in 1998.

The comments were similar to ones Duterte made Wednesday. But some passages were so crude that the words were later muted on a government video of his speech that day, AP reported."
