Chelsea Clinton Slams Trump on LGBT Rights — Twitter Delivers Scorching History Lesson on Mom and Dad

Former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton joined the fray on Wednesday after President Donald Trump started a firestorm by announcing transgender people will no longer be permitted to serve in the U.S. military.

Little did Chelsea know that she herself was about to be scorched, after claiming Trump has “consistently failed” to support equal rights for the LGBT community:

 

Twitter can often be informative. Sometimes it can deliver a history lesson. Other times, it can deliver a thorough smackdown. In this instance, it did all three.

First up for Chelsea, a history lesson from a Navy vet:

 

Vince was right on both counts. On Sept. 21, 1996, President Bill Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act, which, among other things, denied federal benefits to married same-sex couples.

Ryan delivered another history lesson:

 

Right again. As reported by The Washington Post, Hillary Clinton ran for president in 2008 — in opposition to gay marriage.

Haines™ smacked Chelsea over “step-dad” (you’ll have to look that up if you’re so inclined) and mom’s expedient “evolving” position on gay marriage:

 

Next on the docket, a couple of reminders to Chelsea about some of the controversial contributions to the Clinton Foundation:

 

 

You got it, right again. As Fox News reported in June, the Clinton Foundation has raked in millions of dollars from countries that imprison gays, and worse. The reaction from Chelsea and her liberal pals? Cue the crickets.

Self-described conservative Gay Patriot weighed from the way-back machine:

 

And S. Rey just wanted to remind Chelsea who she is:

 

Incidentally, as pointed out by The New York Times — hardly a conservative mouthpiece — Donald Trump, as owner of the exclusive Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, was the first club owner on the island to admit an openly gay couple.

Twitter. It’s always there. And it always pays attention to facts. Even when some don’t.
