After winning gold and beating her own world record by two seconds, Katie Ledecky must have felt pretty exuberant holding the American flag. "To see the 56 up there feels really good," she told journalists in Rio, referencing the her time, 3:56.46. The second-place finisher from the United Kingdom didn't even come close. And to make the moment even sweeter, Chelsea Clinton congratulated Ledecky on Facebook. Even in the midst of her mom's crazy presidential campaign, Chelsea still had the time for some patriotic well-wishing with one very important hashtag.

Chelsea wrote on the wall of her public page, home to more than 1 million likes, "Congratulations to Katie Ledecky for her gold medal & beating her own world record yesterday in ‪#‎Rio‬!" She linked to the New York Times article on the win and then added, "‪#‎NoCeilings‬." Of course the other American women currently in the business of shattering glass ceilings is her mother and the Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

This 'any excuse to work her mom into the conversation' is pukeworthy. I wonder if Ledecky appreciates being used by this brat. It's what Clintons do.

Actually there is a ceiling until she beats the men’s record.
Sorry Chels....

First Lady Chelsea , does she know there’s no pay

To see the 56 up there feels really good

It would have probably been much more gratifying to have seen a 41 up there, but no woman will ever do that.

Yes, Chelsea was just so heroic with this horrendously difficult task and her busy schedule. The importance of the hash tag cannot be overstated.

I’m exhausted, I have to go lie down now.

Never mind that gold medal, that’s like chump change. But to be hashtagged by Chelsea Clinton, that is something for the history books.

Yes, we all know the incredible power of the @%!@#$ hashtag:

A prime example of the hypocrisy of Michelle.

Those girls were quickly forgotten so that she could plan another taxpayer funded luxury vacation for HER girls.

but no woman will ever do that

Give it a little time...

Someone will ‘self declare’ as a woman.

“A prime example of the hypocrisy of Michelle.”

Hypocrisy - arrogance and ignorance, too. When I heard Mr. Michelle was dispatching some Special Forces I figured they’d have some results but I guess it was all for show. If they’d turned a Ranger Company loose out there, there would have been some ass whupping.

3:56:46

What a coincidence - the same time it takes for Hillary to climb one flight of stairs.

That was indeed very brave of Chelsea.
She is trying to make ends meet as a young mother yet still took time to do this task.
I recall when she was 23 y.o. and just scraping-by on $600K annually.
She must have a bit more freedom now that she is compensated nearly $2M annually.

It’s tough to endure a $10 million “starter home” in Manhattan.
But someday she’ll be moving up.
