Over the New Year, Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka Trump agreed not to let their parents' dueling presidential campaigns drag down their longtime friendship, according to sources close to the pair. But that didn't stop Chelsea from bashing her old pal's father during a private downtown Manhattan fundraiser that happened shortly before the candidates left New York and got back onto the campaign trail this week.
“If you've watched the entire (Donald) Trump rally, then you understand the daily diet of hate speech,” Clinton told a collection of wealthy donors at the press-prohibited event. “The constant barrage of sexism, racism, homophobia and anti-worker's rights rhetoric or anti-immigration rhetoric and policy proposals that shouldn't be passed — it's not the country that I want my children to grow up in.”
Hilary Clinton and Bernie Sanders aren't on board with President Obama as he attempts to derail bipartisan bill that would hold Saudi Arabia responsible for financial role it played in 9/11 attacks.
Democratic presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders duke it out in a fiery debate in Brooklyn Thursday night.
Among the many things Chelsea and Ivanka have in common are that they've both been pregnant during their parents' presidential bids. Ivanka gave birth late last month; Chelsea is due this summer.
The 36-year-old former first daughter, who could see her other parent in the White House next year, paired her attack on The Donald with praise for her mother.
“It matters that people know how to make government work and I think my mom is the only person running who has a dedicated and clear record of being able to do that,” Chelsea said.
At least one witness at the Hillary Clinton fundraiser viewed Chelsea's attack on The Donald as less than nuanced. “Chelsea Clinton rips him apart like a pit bull,” said our source.
Chelsea’s killer instinct could come in handy, should she enter the political ring herself — a notion that picked up buzz at an earlier fundraiser she hosted in January.
“She's clearly politically adept,” said our source at the Clinton event, where entry cost as much as $2,700 per head. “People at these rallies think she's prime for a run.”
