Chelsea’s Paradox
Filed Under Chelsea Clinton, Hillary Clinton | Leave a Comment
Chelsea Clinton’s on the campaign trail hoping to gather support for her mom.
Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton and her people won’t let her speak — even to a 9-year-old reporter hoping to get a quote.
Writes the AP’s Beth Fouhy:
“I’m sorry, I don’t talk to the press and that applies to you, unfortunately. Even though I think you’re cute,” Chelsea told the pint-sized journalist.
Such is the paradox of Chelsea as she campaigns across Iowa in the closing days before the state’s caucuses Jan. 3. …
(O)nstage, Chelsea never speaks; she stands next to her mother and applauds but utters not a single sentence and doesn’t even say hello. And reporters covering the campaign have been put on notice that Chelsea is not available to speak to them. An aide follows the former first daughter as she works the crowd, shushing reporters who approach her and try to ask any questions.
It’s too bad that Hillary Clinton is so controlling that she won’t even let Chelsea say “hello.”
