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, Maggie Thatcher was prime minister. Those were the days.
Maybe she is trying to say to be elected, a woman would need to be demonstrably pro-life.
I’m sure glad that mother lost this time.
Not all women are mothers.
“Chelsea Clinton: Someday, someone’s mother will be president”
Just as long as it isn’t yours.
How about Sarah Palin. She’s a grandmother now.
Someday but not today
Only if she didn’t abort her child.
Chelsea Clinton: Someday, someone’s mother will be prosecuted
I can think of three of four mothers who have been President already.
Is that anti transgender?
God help us, it won’t be YOUR mother.
God Almighty! That second picture looks like a busted can of biscuits!
Be kind to our Webb-footed friends,
For they could be somebody’s mother
At least it won’t be hers!
... and here I was, thinking we’d go a day without some Chelsea Clinton propaganda here.
Republicans have mothers too.
And the mom would be acting as dad and dad as mom, just like in the Dove commercial!
Worst case of high self-esteem for no apparent reason I have ever seen.
