Chelsea Clinton: Someday, someone's mother will be president

By jocelyn noveck, ap national writer

NEW YORK — Apr 21, 2017, 6:52 PM ET

Chelsea Clinton stayed away from politics and stuck to the subject of childhood obesity Friday at a Variety magazine event honoring prominent women and their charity work — except for her last line.

Responding to a pointed quip hours earlier from emcee Vanessa Bayer, a "Saturday Night Live" cast member, that none of the honorees' mothers was president of the United States, Clinton reminded her that maybe not, "but someday, someone's (mother) will be." The line got one of the biggest cheers of the afternoon.

Honored at the Variety Power of Women: New York awards along with Clinton, who spoke of her work with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, were actresses Blake Lively, Jessica Chastain and Audra McDonald, TV personality Gayle King and businesswomen Tina Knowles-Lawson and Shari Redstone.

There were a number of references to Bill O'Reilly and his firing by Fox News Channel after several sexual-harassment allegations, which he denies. Gretchen Carlson, the former Fox anchor whose sexual-harassment lawsuit against then-Fox chairman Roger Ailes triggered his downfall and set the stage for O'Reilly's, received a huge ovation at the start of the event and a thank you from Lena Dunham at the podium.

"When you work in a corporate infrastructure the challenge of coming out about sexual harassment is so massive," said Dunham, who was introducing Chastain. "And to see a woman who surmounted that and bravely made space for other women to do the same is just deeply inspiring."

Well Chelsea, I’m certainly not going to fixate on it every few minutes the rest of my life. You can if you want.

Its already happened.

Just in other countries.

Besides we should not vote for people based on what genitalia they do or don’t have.

The left is obssessed with external outer wrappings and doesnt give a sh1t about the person’s inner core.

If the future woman president is a democrat, she probably aborted her kids.

Wouldn’t it have been great if someone in the audience would have yelled out “Yes, someone like Sarah Palin”.

LOL! Exactly, why this mutant is getting so much press lately is beyond me. If I had to guess, I would say they are propping her up to run for office. The Clintons are like that stain in my toilet no matter what I do I just can’t get rid of it.

Me neither, the piece seemed to wander about.

That said, Chelsea Clinton absolutely must be the next Dem nominee. (She is not especially, you-know, um, articulate.)

when she runs for gorges they will say she’s a recognized “public figure.”

Make sure the line on the T-Shirt has a hashtag. Then it’s really meaningful.

She is a machine that spews non-stop meaningless slogans

30+ years of growing up in a political life makes her that way.

Maybe a woman who has has some real skills, ability and talent and has actually accomplished something with her life?

Something more than cheating, scamming and making witnesses against her disappear.

Hey Chelsea, did you take or “borrow” $3 million dollars out of a 501(c) known as “The Clinton Foundation” to finance your wedding?

Inquiring minds want to know......
