As the lid covering the Russia scandal is being blown wide open by more incriminating evidence surfacing every day, Fox News is more desperate than ever to find ways to save Trump’s reputation. Last night, the right-wing propaganda network delivered a low blow to Trump’s 2016 election opponent, Hillary Clinton, because they literally couldn’t think of anything else.
On The Five, co-host Lisa Boothe said something absolutely cruel and insane about Clinton, proving that the bar can always be lowered when it comes to the Republican Party. Boothe, who was filling in for Kimberly Guilfoyle, suggested that “Clinton was so obsessed with becoming president that she would actually sell her daughter Chelsea to achieve it.”
Boothe was discussing Hillary’s campaign manager Robby Mook and his comments on Donald Trump Jr.’s Russia scandal on her show “The Five” when she made some disparaging remarks about President Donald Trump’s opponent in the presidential race.
“He [Robby Mook] literally worked for the most soulless woman on this planet who would literally sell her daughter to be president…sell her only child to be president. I mean, that’s how much she wants it,” Boothe said. “I just think there’s a little bit of irony here that these people are supposed to be the voices of authority on morality or…what’s ethical or not, given some of the people they worked for.”
The attack prompted Chelsea Clinton to defend her mother, taking to Twitter on Saturday to give a stern reply to Fox News host Lisa Marie Boothe. Chelsea, who has two children of her own, responded to the accusation against her mother by tweeting a clip of the segment with a caption claiming Hillary could never use her daughter for personal gain because Chelsea was “the most important part of her life.”
No, she wouldn't. I've never doubted & always known I was the most important part of her life. Now as a mom I'm even more grateful to my mom https://t.co/IZE4ZSUVOs

It was the perfect response to a completely idiotic comment. Just like her mother, Chelsea can always find the perfect way to shut pro-Trump morons down.
Twitter rallied behind Chelsea as soon as she defended her mother. While one user said allegations against Hillary were never proven, unlike Trump, another user referred to the strong bond shared by the Clinton family. Hillary was also heard speaking fondly about her mother last year during the presidential race.

What was Hillary's "crime?" — that she was a wife & mother who wanted to be president, that she was intelligent, educated, prepared?

How can people today prefer a vulgar, greedy, morally bankrupt liar in the WH to an educated woman of principle who represented us all?
