Chelsea Clinton is in no rush to thank Donald Trump for not mentioning Bill Clinton’s infidelity during Monday night’s presidential debate.
The daughter of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton pushed back against Trump’s claim that he was proud to not have resurfaced the former president’s past out of “respect” for her in an interview with Cosmopolitan on Tuesday, saying the Republican candidate is only seeking to sidestep real issues.
“It’s a distraction from his inability to talk about what’s actually at stake in this election and to offer concrete, comprehensive proposals about the economy, or our public school system, or debt-free college, or keeping our country safe and Americans safe here at home and around the world,” she said.
Chelsea, a friend of Trump’s daughter Ivanka, went on to attack Trump for his repeated attacks against women and minority groups, saying those are “far more troubling than whatever his most recent screed against my mom or my family [is].”
"What I find most troubling by far," she said, “are Trump’s continued, relentless attacks on whole swaths of our country and even our global community: women, Muslims, Americans with disabilities, [and] a Gold Star family.”
