Chelsea Clinton ‘Frustrated’ by Lies About the Clinton Foundation

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.

She’s teaching at Columbia?

My exact thoughts! She's an "Adjunct Assistant Professor of Health Policy & Management".

IOW, Columbia is still sucking up to the Clinton Family, and this is about the only way they can cover up the graft. Hillary lost the election, and is no longer marketable as a public speaker.

Being a lowly congressperson is way beneath her.

Chelsea Clinton seems token exposed to big words in her time at Stanford and Oxford.

Too bad she seems concerned with using those big words and buzz words to try to impress people with her intellectual prowess when her intellect does not seem to posses the necessary prowess to properly deploy those big words to express a concise and coherent thought.

[Terry Mross]

She didn’t spell “distilled”. She spoke it. Though that still may make her qualified.

[Bob434]

well, if pressed, I’m sure she could spell it IF she had a connection to the Internet handy

[Nifster]

Ask the folks in Haiti about your foundation

[Joe Boucher]

What has this zero done?

[Snickering Hound]

Being a lowly congressperson is way beneath her.

Being a congresscritter is too close to being work.

“Setoodeh asked Clinton what she thought her responsibilities were”

I think it’s cute someone believes this privileged girl has ever been responsible.

[Red Badger]

DIDN’T SHE FIND SOME ‘FINANCIAL IRREGULARITIES’ THERE HERSELF ?................

[HarleyLady27]

LIES of the Clinton Foundation??? And little nothing Miss is upset??? Well as history states: Liberalism is a mental disorder...keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome...

You, your parents and all those involved in this crooked mess need to be in prison...and if I were the President, that would have been my first job for my A.G. to put you all in prison....

Who gave your mother the right to sell off our Uranium to Russia? and then put the money in YOUR FOUNDATION???

Who gave your father (in name only) the right to rape and abuse women over and over again?

Who gives you the right to think your someone important? Your Web Hubble's daughter, NOT WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON...and your mother is a crook, a liar, a thief and believes in satan...do YOU??? How many times have you been to California in the ‘Witches Coven’ with YOUR MOTHER??? How many times have you been with your ‘in name only father’ to Sex Island???

Until all of you are gone from this planet, you will remain the most of evil creatures other than satan himself on this earth!!!

Get off the stage missy and shut your mouth, you are a devil spawn!!!

I think if some prosecutor wants to bring her before a Grand Jury under oath we can make sure she gets a chance to straighten everyone out about the good work of the Foundation and all its financial dealings.

I say we take her up on it.

[Dogbert41]

lock her up with her parents.

I despise Chelsea Clinton. I think she is an arrogant, entitled, privileged, pretentious lying buffoon. On the other hand, I wonder what is is like to grow up in a totally leftist amoral family, surrounded by leftist sycophants, attending schools and universities run by leftists, reading news from the leftist MSM, being loved and praised and honored by Hollywood and nearly the entire entertainment industry, being taught that you are special because you are a Clinton. Nay, you are not only special, but your family should be running the country (and even the world) because your mother is the smartest woman alive and your father was one of the most popular presidents ever. The US does not have royalty per se, but you are royalty in the truest sense and deserve to be followed by the masses. Of course any evidence to the contrary that might break into your bubble of superiority would be a little annoying. Maybe even a little jarring. But surrounded by Democrat sycophants, who needs to consider that maybe, just maybe some of the citizens of this country might think differently than you do for good reasons?

What is a distilled level? I’ve never heard that term before.

Their is no distilled level. The Clinton’s never deny charges. They say “where’s the PROOF?”.

[COBOL2Java]

What is a distilled level? I’ve never heard that term before.

It's a bootlegger method of test proofing moonshine. The viscosity of moonshine is related to the alcohol content, and alcohol also has a lower specific gravity than say pure water, or sugar water (like grape juice).

Shake a half-full jar of moonshine vigorously to make it foam up. If the foam bubbles last a long time, there's less alcohol (the higher specific gravity and viscosity means the air bubbles take longer to settle out, the mixture might be "syrupy". If the bubbles last a short time, it has higher alcohol content. If the bubbles come out very rapidly, you have high alcohol content.

Mom taught her well

That is not a off hand comment but a constructed response.

I go with A: The truth was insufficient.

ADJECTIVE
not enough; inadequate:
“there was insufficient evidence to convict him”
synonyms: inadequate · deficient · poor · scant · scanty · [more]

Bill and Hillary Clinton are the penicillin-resistant syphilis of our political system.

[stylin19a]

from a link to Variety in the article:

I wish that most of the coverage had been factual, and had paid attention to what GuideStar, Charity Watch, or our tax filings said. I hope now that we’re out of the political season, there will be more focus on the work.

She must have forget about the multiple filing corrections made.

she also talks about lies, but doesn't mention anything specific.
