Democrat attacked over condemning Ilhan Omar’s rhetoric against Israel
On Friday, a gunman opened fire at two mosques in New Zealand’s Christchurch, killing 49 people. Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton was among the many people who condemned the violence, saying that we “need a global response to the global threat of violent white nationalism”.
Chelsea Clinton was confronted by a group of New York University students over her stance on Muslims at a vigil for the New Zealand mosque attacks on Friday.
“I’m so sorry that you feel that way. It was certainly never my intention. I do believe words matter. I believe we have to show solidarity,” Clinton told students who accosted her at the vigil.
“This, right here, is the result of the massacre stoked by people like you and the words that you have put out into the world,” a female student responded. “I want you to know that. I want you to feel that deep inside. The 49 people died because of the rhetoric you put out there.
