Chelsea Clinton defends Trump over Kathy Griffin photo: 'This is vile and wrong'
Washington Examiner ^ | May 30, 2017 | Al Weaver

Chelsea Clinton took aim at Kathy Griffin Tuesday after the comedienne posted a photo of her holding a beheaded fake head resembling that of President Trump.

In a tweet, the former first daughter called the photo "vile and wrong" and pressed that it is not a laughing matter to joke about killing a president.

"This is vile and wrong," Clinton wrote. "It is never funny to joke about killing a president."

The Griffin photo, which was taken by photographer Tyler Shields, was first obtained by TMZ and came under immediate attack by Republicans. Donald Trump Jr., the president's eldest child, called the photo "disgusting" and added that "this is the left today."

Journalists also condemned the photo, which Griffin defended as her "merely mocking" the president. Some also wondered if CNN would have her back to host their New Year's Eve coverage with Anderson Cooper

“This is vile and wrong,” Clinton wrote. “It is never funny to joke about killing a president.”

THIS time Chelsea gets it right.

A resurrection of Bill Clinton’s “Sister Souljah” strategy.
By the way, who care what Chelsea Clinton Mezvinsky thinks?

"It is never funny to joke about killing a president."

At least she finally acknowledged that Trump is President. Maybe she's getting tired of her whiny mother, too.

Exactly. As I said on another thread, one about her dust-up with Duarte, her handlers are getting ready to run her in NY.

Another howdy-doody candidate. Groomed to be a tool for anti-American leftists operating from the shadows.

Same as Obama.

........to the best of my recollection, this is the first good thought I’ve ever had about Chelsea Clinton as an adult.

I take that reaction as Chelsea’s unwitting acknowledgement that the Left has gone way off the rails. As ridiculously leftist as Chelsea is, even she senses it. Deep down, if she is intellectually honest, Hillary has to be an unbelievable embarrassment to her.
