'I think the treatment of Chelsea Clinton was outrageous and ignorant and tremendously unfair. She should not have been yelled at.'
White House adviser Kellyanne Conway voiced support for Chelsea Clinton on Monday, criticizing college activists who confronted her at a Friday vigil for the victims of the New Zealand mosque shootings.
Clinton, in response said that"certainly, it was never my intention. I do believe words matter. I believe we have to show solidarity." "We stand with our Muslim brothers and sisters. We stand with people of every faith," Conway said."I think the treatment of Chelsea Clinton was outrageous and ignorant and tremendously unfair. She should not have been yelled at by those people and blamed for this massacre any more than other person should be except the evil, pathetic, horrible, hateful man who did this."
Critics claimed the tweet was anti-Semitic, while progressives said it merely pointed out the powerful political influence of lobbying organization AIPAC. Clinton spoke against Omar. She reposted a tweet critical of the representative, adding"co-signed as an American. We should expect all elected officials, regardless of party, and all public figures to not traffic in anti-Semitism."
Omar was again criticized this month, when she said,"I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country."
