Chelsea Clinton: Donald Trump is normalizing hate speech
Mass Live ^ | 10/13/2016 | Shira Schoenberg

WELLESLEY — Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, on Thursday accused Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump of "normalizing hate speech."

"I never thought I would see the almost normalization of hate speech that we have witnessed in this election — the misogyny, the racism, the homophobia, the Islamophobia, the jingoism, the rhetoric against Americans with disabilities, the rhetoric against our veterans, the demeaning of a Gold Star family," Chelsea Clinton said.

"None of that is what I believe our country to be at the best, and it certainly does not represent the country I want my children, our children, our grandchildren to grown up in."

Clinton spoke to a crowd of around 300 people at an outdoor rally at Wellesley College, which is Hillary Clinton's alma mater. Clinton graduated in 1969 with high honors and was the college's first student commencement speaker. She led Wellesley's Young Republicans Club in 1966 and 1967.

Based on polling and past elections, Massachusetts is likely to vote overwhelmingly for Clinton in the presidential race. But by speaking to a college audience, Chelsea Clinton was able to reach mostly out-of-state voters. College students also often have time to volunteer in swing states like New Hampshire and make phone calls to other states.

Anna Thomas, a Wellesley senior from the Philadelphia suburbs, said her only memories of the Bill Clinton presidency were watching his impeachment trial on TV. Yet she is "an ardent Hillary supporter."

"She is by far the most qualified individual to ever run for president," Thomas said.

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

How's this for Hate Speech? On Facebook Today.....

"Trump supporters not only don’t see this, they’re happy that there’s someone running for president that thinks exactly like them. Take Melanie Austin, of Brownsville, Pennsylvania. She thought her beliefs about Obama being a gay Muslim from Kenya and Michelle being transgender were just fringe beliefs – right up until she started hearing similar stuff from Trump and other right-wing extremists. Now she knows she’s right about all of this. You can’t tell her that she’s ignorant and dumb if she can’t figure this out for herself. You can’t tell her she’s delusional. You can sit there with her, and countless others like her, and present facts, figures, charts, studies, and more, all from the most reputable sources there are, and prove that her lord and savior is wrong, and you’ll still get shot down.

There’s more to this than the problem of confirmation bias. Austin gets much of her information from fringe right-wing blogs and conspiracy sites, but that’s not all of it. Many of Trump’s supporters are seriously too dumb to know they’re dumb. It’s called the Dunning-Kruger effect, and it’s an unshakeable illusion that you’re much smarter, and more skilled and/or knowledgeable, than you really are."

In Deep Blue MA, Hillary should be getting thousands of people to see her and her family.

300? That says its all. Hillary is done.

Poor Chelsea. She wasn’t married more than a few months before her husband quit his job and left her...moved to the west coast. Wonder what that was all about. Maybe realized the horrendous family he married into. They seem to have weathered that storm for now.

How smart do I have to be to know that Hildebeast is a criminal?

Back when BILLIOUS CLINTON was impeached, Chelsea was still
enough of a kid to be ASHAMED of her father. He did not have
the decency however to resign and move the Clintons out of
that position. The House had balls; the Senate did not. Now,
the Clintons will not go away & appear to be set to be
preserved well into later years when they will turn into
old rocks. Now; Hillary is set to demand her pound of flesh
for “standing by her man” in the detestable matter of his
impeachment. Chelsea has been old enough to know better for
a long time. Too bad. When your conscience is seared and you
can no longer feel SHAME; stick a fork in you - you’re done.

We know that. But only if you watch Fox or read stuff online. My response was, “Trump voters are dumb? Let’s put Trump supporters and Hillary’s in a head-to-head competition to name their Vice Presidential Candidates. Guess who will lose?” I hope they get it. Maybe not.

A very close friend of mine once told me what her fellow Wellesley grads thought of their number one grad. It ain’t pretty.

Chelsea, you are going to wind up in a prison for the remainder of your life, due to your complicit involvement with the ongoing Clinton Crime Foundation.

Should we hope you are paired with a cellmate who plays the male, or female, role?

If I were an employee at the Clinton Foundation, under that loser Chelsea (she of the ‘volcanic temper’) I’d decamp to Trump Tower for a job. It has a good reputation, a fabulous location in a beautiful modern building.
