Proving that there is nothing and no one she won't sacrifice on the altar of her political ambition, Hillary Clinton sent her daughter Chelsea out to smear Bernie Sanders today, claiming his health care plan would "strip millions, and millions and millions of people of their health insurance." On today's With All Due Respect, Mark Halperin repeatedly said he was "stunned" by the attack. John Heilemann put in blunter terms, flatly calling the attack a "lie."

Last night I suggested that Hillary's lunge left in suddenly proposing a big tax increase on the rich suggested panic on her part. But what she pulled today makes yesterday's panic pale in comparison. Let's call it a sign of craven hysteria.

The beast is getting desperate.

Chelsea makes her bones in the Clinton crime family.

Skank should be in prison 3 cells down from mommy

Her father being the Stainmaster is probably a lie!

[Steely Tom]

Accusing a Clinton of being “a liar” is like accusing Albert Einstein of being “a physicist.”

What is “The Chip program” that Chelsea claimed Comrade Bernie would stop.

Is “chip” an acronym?

[TomGuy]

Chelsea lies?

That is probably mandatory — homeschooled in it.

[Jim Robinson]

Why not? Obama stripped millions of their health care. And their jobs.

Yes, an acronym, and I got it wrong, corrected now: it’s SCHIP.

I think it was a children’s health care program.

Chelsea Hubbell out campaigning for her mother, how nice....

[Fledermaus]

I hope we can strip millions from government subsidized health insurance.

It was the closed-captioning on Comrade ABC News tonight that had “chip”.

Thanks for the info.

[TigersEye]

Chelsea was raised by Bill and Hill. She probably couldn’t find truth in a dictionary.

[SaveFerris]

Thanks, all!

[txrefugee]

With parents like hers, she learned to lie before she could walk.

[Slyfox]

Now that she has entered politics she is fair game:

[N. Theknow]

Yes, an acronym, and I got it wrong, corrected now: it's SCHIP.

SCHIP Happens.
