Progressive activist Chelsea Clinton confronted by Muslim activists for her attacks on Ilhan Omar. |
Donald J. Trump refused to call it right wing extremism. He refused to acknowledge that white terrorists are more of a threat than brown terrorists.
Old fart Rush Limbaugh called it a plot created by "leftists" to blame conservatives.
Trump is still in office. Limbaugh is still on the radio.
Of course, we can't forget the Clintons. Even though Hillary Clinton has stepped out the of limelight, her presence is still around. The junk food media and especially the folks over at Fox News will keep her name alive. Even in 2020 and 2024, you might hear folks like Sean "Softball" Hannity continuing on and on about Clinton.
Looks like another person being called out is Hillary Clinton's only daughter.
Chelsea Clinton became one of those folks who got confronted. The former first daughter went to New York University to attend a memorial for those 49 people killed in New Zealand by a white terrorist.
She was confronted by a young woman who said that Clinton's remarks on social media targeting Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) spanned the flames of Islamophobia.

"This, right here, is a result of a massacre stoked by people like you and the words that you put out into the world," one student told Clinton. "And I want you to know that and I want you to feel that deep down inside. Forty-nine people died because of the rhetoric you put out there."
On Friday, Clinton tweeted her condolences regarding the Christchurch tragedy.
Heartbroken & horrified by the white nationalist terrorist attack during Jummah on the mosques and Muslim community in Christchurch. Keeping all affected by this tragedy in my heart and prayers. We need a global response to the global threat of violent white nationalism.— Chelsea Clinton (@ChelseaClinton) March 15, 2019
"Heartbroken & horrified by the white nationalist terrorist attack during Jummah on the mosques and Muslim community in Christchurch," Clinton wrote. "Keeping all affected by this tragedy in my heart and prayers. We need a global response to the global threat of violent white nationalism."
Last month Clinton went after Omar for criticizing Israel. Clinton made the claim that Omar made an anti-Semitic trope.
Co-signed as an American. We should expect all elected officials, regardless of party, and all public figures to not traffic in anti-Semitism.— Chelsea Clinton (@ChelseaClinton) February 11, 2019
Clinton who is pregnant didn't expect people to forget that she attacked a woman of color who happens to be a Muslim. She, Rep. Rashida Tliab (D-MI) and Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) are the only Muslim lawmakers in Congress. Omar and Tliab have face attacks from the right and some on the left because of their criticism of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Omar who criticized AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) for being a peddler of money and influence was labeled anti-Semitic by Clinton and many Democrats.
Omar who face harsh criticism was subjected to racist, Islamophobic and vile smears. The remarks by Fox News agitator Jeanine Pirro also made the freshman lawmaker tighten up security.
Clinton tried to calm the outrage.
"I'm so sorry that you feel that way," Clinton repeated.
"What does 'I'm sorry you feel that way' mean?" another student asked.
Some dirtbag named Caleb Hill decided to dox the young woman who raised the concerns.
Here's the video that @Esor__Fasa put up where her friend is attacking Chelsea Clinton at a memorial service and linking her to the New Zealand massacre because Chelsea dared to call out Ilhan Omar's anti-Semitism.— Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) March 16, 2019
After heavy criticism, @Esor__Fasa deleted her account. pic.twitter.com/njjL9LsRKI
Young woman called out Clinton for sparking hate. |
The terrorist was introduced into court where he was being charged with murder. The charges could carry the DEATH soda in New Zealand. The terrorist is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The terrorist was unrepentant. He flashed the white power "OKAY" symbol.
Chelsea Clinton has never apologized to Rep. Omar for the allegations. She said that she would love to talk to her about the comments.
Omar accepted.
Folks, let's get this straight. Criticisms of the Israeli government, the Zionist rule, American lawmakers taking money from lobbyist groups tied to Israel, the occupation of the Gaza Strip and West Bank, the brutal abuse of immigrants and Palestinians and our relentless support for the country is not anti-Semitic. Yes, saying "wiping Israel off the map" is not anti-Semitic.
In this country, there are lawmakers trying to criminalize free speech. They are trying to prevent student groups from creating separate BDS (Boycott, Deinvest & Sanctions) chapters. There are lawmakers making Americans take oaths of allegiance to Israel. They are companies forced to support Israel or face sanctions and funding cuts.
This is an outrage.
This is not going to change unless we can change minds of those who are conflated.
Israel does not equal the Jewish faith. Never forget that.
It's a distraction and like "thoughts and prayers" and "our hearts goes out to...," something is going to change. The United States alliance to Israel has always been controversial. It may have been a reason to why al Qaeda inflicted attacks on the United States.
