Chelsea Clinton ‘Frustrated’ by Lies About the Clinton Foundation
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 4/18/2017 | Madeleine Weist

Posted on 04/19/2017 10:52:23 AM PDT by simpson96

Chelsea Clinton opened up about her thoughts on the Clinton Foundation during an interview with Variety magazine for the "Power of Women: New York" issue published Tuesday.

Chelsea, daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, gave an interview with Ramin Setoodeh in an attempt to show "how she’s making her voice heard in 2017."

Setoodeh asked Clinton what she thought her responsibilities were, "given the current political climate."

"I think it’s a question all of us should be asking ourselves every day. I think being a citizen isn’t just what happens when there’s an election," Chelsea responded. "For me, I’m deeply committed to the work of the foundation. I’m committed to my teaching at Columbia."

"I’m committed to raising my voice in opposition to and affirmation of when I think it’s important to do so," she added.

The former first daughter also spoke about the Clinton Foundation, saying, "At its most distilled level, we try to make a positive, impactful, empowering difference in whatever ways we can."

Chelsea then began clearing up the controversy that surrounded the foundation during the 2016 presidential election.

"The strangest part has been the cognitive dissonance that seems to exist between the perception around the foundation for people who don’t know our work, and the actual work," Chelsea told Setoodeh.(snip)

The lies were absolutely frustrating because the facts didn’t seem sufficient to put them to rest. I think that was so odd about the whole experience — either the truth was insufficient or people just didn’t care," she said.

I think her parents sheltered her in some ways and lead her to believe they were wonderful law-abiding people.

Chelsea is not the brightest.

The former first daughter is somewhat in the dark but acting just like a Lib DemoRat.......ie: if you start the fire...quickly blame some one else and cast dispersion their way and never ever accept responsibility for yourself....she'll be a good DemoRat....

No way in hell would I send my kid to an Ivy League school. Or any college for that matter considering they have all become cry rooms.

Once again Hillary putting words in someone else’s mouth. She is running the Soros backed opposition to Trump and is a psychological sickophant.

I noticed with Clinton Foundation spending they said they spent 87.2% on program spending and 12.3% on fundraising and management in 2014.

But the Daily Caller reports: Just 5.7 percent of the Clinton Foundation’s massive 2014 budget actually went to charitable grants, according to the tax-exempt organization’s IRS filings. The rest went to salaries and employee benefits, fundraising and “other expenses.”

(Ben Stein voice) Chelsea? Chelsea?

$15 million. That's worth $15 million. For being the spawn of the Clintons.

Chelsea can relax, knowing her REAL father is NOT Bill Clinton. Mama was bangin' WEBSTER HUBBELL, ewwwww!

Chelsea has had LOTS of plastic surgery to erase the Webster characteristics from her face. She still has the very heavy jaw though!

Who wrote that bilge? It makes zero sense. And as in lies about the foundation? Examples please? Like it wasn’t a pay for play scheme? Like they “really” helped the Haitians? Like Saudi Arabia was really required to donate to the foundation rather than charities directly?

...cognitive dissonance....

This is a genetic defect rampant in the Clinton genes, and likely in the Webb Hubble genes, too.
