Chelsea Clinton accused the New Yorker and The Economist of the “normalization of bigotry” after inviting Steve Bannon to speak at their respective events:
For anyone who wonders what normalization of bigotry looks like, please look no further than Steve Bannon being invited by both @TheEconomist & @NewYorker to their respective events in #NYC a few weeks apart. https://t.co/u0TDfCYrQ1

Chaser…
What a stunning lack of self awareness. Her father just share the dais with anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan. Does she think Bill Clinton normalized bigotry?
Your father just shared a stage with Farrakhan. https://t.co/wyv1un1CmF

You do know what Reverend Jesse Jackson called New York City, right? You know know what Louis Farrakhan believes about Jews, right? You know your father just a few days ago proudly shared a stage with them, right? https://t.co/ei0Kz1w3Gg

And it’s not just conservatives calling Chelsea out. Here’s CNN’s Kate Bennett:
(both of your parents just shared a stage for hours on end with Louis Farrakhan)

But rather than take the loss here, Chelsea decided to attack Bennett:
Hi Kate – I’ve heard this a lot today. Almost a drumbeat. A few thoughts: 1) Aretha’s family had every right to invite whomever they wanted to celebrate her life. 2) As I’ve said before, Farrakhan‘s anti-Semitism is wrong. Bigotry is always wrong. 3) … I’m not my parents. https://t.co/HHSZiKuVYM

Ah! So it was Aretha Franklin’s family that normalized bigotry? Good to know!
