Chelsea Clinton Gets Fired Up

A day after her most pointed remark yet on the campaign trail, Chelsea Clinton will appear at several different fundraising events for her mother in Washington.The usually soft-spoken Clinton rebuked a student at Butler University in Indianapolis on Tuesday who asked whether her mother’s credibility had been hurt during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

“Wow, you’re the first person actually that’s ever asked me that question in the, I don’t know maybe, 70 college campuses I’ve now been to, and I do not think that is any of your business,” Clinton said, getting loud applause from the 200 people in the audience, according to the Associated Press. (Watch a video of the exchange here.)

In Washington, the 28-year-old, who works at a hedge fund in New York but has spent much of the last three months on the campaign trail, will find friendlier audiences.

Clinton will appear with mother at a fundraiser at a concert hall where supporters must donate $25 to attend, then at an event for bigger donors ($1000 each) at the home of Esther Coopersmith, a Democratic activist who worked in the Carter administration. She is also scheduled to attend a reception without her mother for “Hillblazers,” Hillary Clinton’s younger supporters.
