Think of the magazine Glamour and naturally thoughts turn to … left-wing politics. The women’s magazine hosted a Facebook Live conversation with Chelsea Clinton and avid Hillary supporters Lena Dunham and America Ferrara as part of Glamour's 51 million initiative. In this year's election, 51 million women under the age of 45 will be eligible to vote, and Hillary Clinton has an edge with that demographic. Glamour is doing what it can to increase that edge.
The best quote of the event was Chelsea Clinton's impassioned plea that Americans come out to vote, despite gender differences. "So I would just say urgently to every young woman, and yes every young man, um, every person who may not know their gender yet, or may have no gender identity -- whatever you care about is at stake in this election!"
Chelsea, who now runs the scandal-plagued Clinton Foundation, was formerly paid $600,000 a year for what NY Mag called her "unbelievably cushy fake job at NBC."
Also, in discussing the "tenor of the debate," Glamour's Cindi Leive asked Chelsea how she felt about violent comments made about her mother. She responded: “I think in many ways that rhetoric is employed because the Republicans know they are not ready for a debate or a conversation about what our most pressing challenges are.” What proceeded was a denigration of Republican “vitriol.” At least Dunham brought up the point that Democrats can be vitriolic too, mentioning that a young Bernie supporter had tweeted she wished Hillary would die so Sanders could take over.
Ferrara then chimed in: “It is really hard to hold people to any kind of standard of morality when those who are supposed to be the model of how we are supposed to have discourse in this country are kind of racing to the bottom.”
Now that’s truth.
