Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton recently turned a trolling attempt into an opportunity to address a very serious issue. The Thursday tweet that triggered Clinton's response read, "Such a nasty nasty word."
"If anyone could be the 'C' word it could only be Hillary! I don't remember anyone making fun of Chelsea while she was 'The First Daughter ' and there was a huge amount of subject matter," it further noted. "Probably the ugliest child to have ever been in the WH!" It was an apparent reference to Clinton pointing out the hypocrisy of the White House for slamming comedian Samantha Bee, who used the c-word to describe Ivanka Trump, after it had welcomed Ted Nugent, who once called Hillary a "toxic c***." Rather than pouring more gasoline on that fire, the former first daughter replied, "Hi… 1) It shouldn't be used to describe anyone, including my wonderful mother. 2) For decades, people, often older men, have called me ugly, a donkey, a dog." "I'm far more upset thousands of Americans died in Puerto Rico post-Maria because we failed them. Blessings to you," she also wrote.
Her tweet follows the release of a Harvard study on the Hurricane Maria-related death count in Puerto Rico.
According to the Washington Post, the study "estimates that at least 4,645 deaths can be linked to the hurricane and its immediate aftermath, making the storm far deadlier than previously thought. Official estimates have placed the number of dead at 64."
