Chelsea Clinton hasnt won a lifetime achievement award in several weeks, but that doesnt mean shes off the speaking circuit. The Presidential progeny has been out promoting her childrens book about her mother, She Persisted, and Monday appeared at the annual conference for Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere (CARE).
Needless to say, the activist, thought leader and change agent as she was described in the programs agenda, had a number of worthwhile contributions to the discussion, which centered around empowering the oppressedsomething with which the heir to the Clinton legacy has little practical experience.
Her advice to the legions of underprivileged women looking to affect change on a community level wasnt particularly scintillatingwe have to always start by listening and calling out and giving a platform, and encouraging, particularly, those who are and have been structurally dis-empoweredbut the disgruntled Chelsea had some harsh words for those who dont share her progressive ideology.
They should be silenced if they dont agree with Chelsea Clinton.(snip)
Asked to comment on global poverty, Clinton suggested that climate change and global warming were somehow interconnected with child marriage, a practice performed mostly in the Eastern world, and mostly the result of backwards cultural norms, not rising ocean tides and extreme temperature.
Fortunately for Chelsea, CARE is a decidedly progressive organization, that prides itself on encouraging foreign aid and wealth redistribution in the name of social justice, so they didnt ask too many questions.
