Last month, Chelsea Clinton was among the many Democrats who condemned Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for her anti-Semitic ravings.
Yesterday, Chelsea was surrounded by a mob of NYU students who berated her for these comments and blamed her and her comments for the New Zealand mosque attack that left 49 dead and another 48 injured.
According to the students in the released video, Chelsea’s condemnation of Omar’s anti-Semitism was directly responsible for the New Zealand mosque attack.
Muslim students have berated Chelsea Clinton at a vigil for the victims of the New Zealand mosques massacre, saying she is to blame for the attack.Clinton, who is pregnant with her third child, was attending the vigil at New York University on Friday when senior Leen Dweik began castigating her in an astonishing moment caught on video.’This right here is the result of a massacre stoked by people like you and the words that you put out into the world,’ says Dweik, gesturing to the vigil for the 49 who were killed in Christchurch when a white nationalist shooter stormed two mosques.’And I want you to know that and I want you to feel that deeply – 49 people died because of the rhetoric you put out there,’ Dweik continues, jabbing her index finger toward Clinton as other students snap their fingers in apparent approval of her words.
The activist in the video and her friend who shared it bragged about it on Buzzfeed:
We did a double take when we first noticed Chelsea Clinton was at the vigil. Just weeks before this tragedy, we bore witness to a bigoted, anti-Muslim mob coming after Rep. Ilhan Omar for speaking the truth about the massive influence of the Israel lobby in this country. As people in unwavering solidarity with Palestinians in their struggle for freedom and human rights, we were profoundly disappointed when Chelsea Clinton used her platform to fan those flames. We believe that Ilhan Omar did nothing wrong except challenge the status quo, but the way many people chose to criticize Omar made her vulnerable to anti-Muslim hatred and death threats.
It’s an attempt to prevent criticism of anti-Semitism:
Following release of the video clip of the confrontation, the internet lit up in response as some on the left leapt to Chelsea’s defense, and the person who first tweeted the video apparently falsely claimed that she was getting legal advice from none other than Michael Avenatti.
This person is, according to her Twitter profile, a “Jewish leftist, organizer, parody ire & known in alt-right circles as “Antifa chick R*se.” , she/ her, instagram.”
She also seems a bit unhinged.
And a bit of a snowflake.
Having long been the victims of such tactics, the right was quick to come to Chelsea’s defense; however, Michelle Malkin shares a reminder for us all.
A preview of the nightmare to come as we head into the 2020 presidential election?
