Chelsea to Sarah Sanders: Ted Nugent once called Hillary 'c*nt'--Trump invited HIM to the White House

The White House and most every GOP political pundit demanded that TBS drop Samantha Bee’s “Full Frontal” show, and compared Bee’s comment about Ivanka to Roseanne Barr’s extreme racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett. ABC canceled Roseanne’s hit comeback show, and rather than being outraged with Roseanne’s comment, Republicans are thirsty for revenge—and Samantha Bee looked like a good target.

That’s why they were probably surprised when Chelsea Clinton got on Twitter Thursday afternoon and helped remind the White House, and the world, of that time in 1994 when Trump-supporting gun-enthusiast and former musician Ted Nugent called Hillary, the then First Lady of the United States— a “c*nt” during a magazine interview.

Having someone refer to your parent in such vile terms is a painfully poignant moment that one never forgets. I can only hope that these events give rise to a movement that calls out such comments and helps return to civilized debate over our policies. We may even develop a larger vocabulary that allows us to speak with precision.
