CLEVELAND — It’s war between the campaign kids.
One night after Donald Trump’s daughter Tiffany told of how her dad wrote “sweet notes” on her report cards, Chelsea Clinton on Wednesday responded that her mom helped her with homework.
“When I was growing up, it seemed like she could do anything,” Chelsea said of Hillary Rodham Clinton. “She would sit with me while I did my homework or practiced the piano or worked on my science project,” she added.
In the note, she blasted Republicans for making up a caricature of her mom, and then bashing her into the ground.
“When Republicans repeatedly get on stage at their national convention and toss attack after attack at my mom, calling her things I’d never say in front of my children — let alone on live TV — they’re talking about a caricature they’ve imagined, not the woman that I love and respect,” she wrote.
It was clearly Chelsea to the rescue.
Her memo arrived in the email accounts of supporters less than 24 hours after Tiffany Trump made the Republican National Convention delegates coo with support.
“My dad takes such pride in all that I’ve done so far, no matter how big or how small. I still keep all of my report cards, some dating back to kindergarten, because I like to look back and see the sweet notes he wrote on each and every one of them,” she told the crowd.
Below is Chelsea’s note:
When Republicans repeatedly get on stage at their national convention and toss attack after attack at my mom, calling her things I’d never say in front of my children — let alone on live TV — they’re talking about a caricature they’ve imagined, not the woman that I love and respect.
My mom is compassionate, kind, and hardworking — when I was growing up, it seemed like she could do anything. She’d spend all day in court litigating on behalf of children and families, then come home and ask me over dinner what I learned in school, what my favorite part of my day was, and what I hoped would happen tomorrow. And then she would sit with me while I did my homework or practiced the piano or worked on my science project.
Paul, my mom has been fighting for everyday Americans for as long as I can remember. She’s smart, she’s strong, and she never forgets who she is fighting for and why. I can’t wait to vote for her as our next president — but she needs to know that we’re with her right now.
She’s counting on you — will you chip in to let her know that you have her back? (And when you do, we’ll send you a free sticker to say thanks!)
Thanks,
Chelsea
