Chelsea Clinton took to Twitter to tell what we imagine she assumed would be a heartwarming story, but many people reading it found a few things out of place and questioned if it was even real.
I love New York. Just was in a cab with the same driver from more than a dozen years ago and we recognized each other masks and all. He took me to my first wedding dress appointment with my mom, grandmother and best friend. What a warm encounter on a freezing day!

We are not the type of people who just poke fun at a Clinton because they spoke, but we can all admit the Clintons have said things that are untrue and often worthy of pointing and laughing in their direction so we are happy to explore the story and the replies.
I love Seattle. Just was driving alone with a mask on, saw someone next to me driving alone with their mask on, and we recognized each other masks and all. He took me to my 1st wedding appointment with my mom, grandmother and best friend. What a warm encounter on a freezing day! https://t.co/G4aKiIaAwj

That tweet was just the beginning of our journey and it covered the possible falsehood, as well as the mask-wearing right out of the gate.
And he is still breathing? Amazing.

YIKES. If he had spent any time with Hillary it is a question that had to be asked. *snort*
Best Friend as in Ghislane?
— Reaganette (@Ezinger44) February 5, 2023
Ghislane Maxwell made it into the comments several times. She was known to be friends with the Clintons and making sure people know that at every turn is something this editor supports.

The least believable part of this is that Chelsea Clinton takes cabs. https://t.co/y1DYrBAJzV

Agree. She just does not seem to be the type of person to take a cab.

There were so many tweets that flat-out said she was lying we picked some of the ones that made us laugh the most.
I'll take "things that never happened" for $1000, Alex. https://t.co/g0olQDdL2I

Joe Biden wrote that https://t.co/3eGnDYr1TZ
— brobert545 (@brobert545) February 5, 2023
This was a creative tweet about lying, as we know Joe Biden is one of the biggest proven liars in politics, Bill Clinton, of course, runs a close race.
Quiet everyone, Bill & Hillary's worst political decision, their daughter Chelsea, made up a story just to virtual signal.
Unless Hillary & Chelsea Clinton will admit Bill is a rapist, I never want to hear another word from either of these women. Ever. https://t.co/xWOquYgjA7

That tweeter seemed to be done with the Clintons altogether. Was the story made up? We have no idea, but if it is all fake just to virtue signal, we would not be surprised.
Did Haiti funds pay for that too?
— 🇺🇸Lionhearted 🇺🇸 (@Gailbee) February 5, 2023
The implication that the Clinton Foundation used funds that were raised to help Haiti in order to pay for personal things rather than help the Haitian people has been a persistent rumor with many stories to support the claim. It was a popular response to Chelsea’s tweet.
He went to Haiti with you? https://t.co/PHpkw3ydRZ

Hey, they could have spent a little more to put him up in a nice hotel and tag along with them!
Paid by the Clinton Foundation https://t.co/QveuI9lVVY
— #1 PROUD AMERICAN GROUP (@Jake33076) February 5, 2023
If the stories are true, that cab ride would be one of the smallest cash transactions to be paid for by the Clinton Foundation.
The best thing about this story is that you both were wearing masks the first time you met and now today.
— Thomas Hawk (@thomashawk) February 5, 2023
HA! Chelsea Clinton’s wording does make it seem like they were both wearing masks each time they met. Many people just wanted to comment on the fact masks are still involved in New Yorkers’ everyday life in 2023.
These people are still wearing masks in New York, like @StephenAtHome's entire audience, and it's like they're living on a different planet or stuck in a time warp. Of note, I live just outside a very blue city (Denver) in a very blue state. Almost zero masks anywhere. https://t.co/qm9oonkbYb
— Ryan Schuiling (@RyanSchuiling) February 5, 2023
This is true. It seems like some people are stuck in 2020 with the COVID restrictions. We are fine if people are choosing to keep the masks on, but it is very strange if you venture out into a free state and people are living life normally.
‘…and we recognized each other masks & all.’
Just perfect… 😆🙄
…it prob kinda happened, but still a tweet @_DHOTYA can appreciate! https://t.co/NwiEbmb63t
— Wexboy (@Wexboy_Value) February 5, 2023
HA! We did not know the ‘Didn’t Happen of the Year Awards’ was even a thing but we are going to keep an eye out for this story to be nominated now.
Some people just can't let the pandemic go. Mostly people with power money and privilege that they got even more of during it. https://t.co/aC9VEaDrky
— JQ LLC (@ImpunityCity) February 5, 2023
Now that is the truth. Many people, particularly people in blue states and in politics do not seem to want to let the pandemic go. Wonder why that is? It could not be all of the control it allowed them to have over the little guy, could it?
Anyway … did Chelsea Clinton lie about a cab driver just for a virtue signal tweet about masks in 2023? We will let you answer that one for yourselves!
