Hillary Clinton Loves How Daughter Chelsea Kills Twitter Trolls with Kindness
When it comes to coolly facing down critics, the apple doesn?t far fall from the tree for Hillary Clinton?s daughter, Chelsea.
Since amping up her Twitter presence in the wake of President Trump?s election, the former first daughter has made a habit of directly calling out those who attack her and responding to their hate with a smile.
In a new interview with PEOPLE, Clinton applauds her only daughter for taking the high road in her dealings with Twitter trolls.
?It?s really disarming, isn?t it?? the former Democratic presidential nominee tells PEOPLE in an interview for this week?s issue, pegged to her new campaign memoir, What Happened. ?One thing I?ve learned over the years is how easy it is for people to say horrible things about you behind your back, but how hard it is for them to look you in the eye and say it to your face.
?Even the most virulent critics are caught off guard when confronted with polite cheerfulness,? she continues. ?You can add this to the long list of reasons I?m so proud of Chelsea.?
In April, the former first daughter gave a poised response to a Twitter user who seemed to cast doubt on Chelsea?s challenges breastfeeding her then-10-month-old son, Aidan, which she had recently written about in an essay for Well + Good.
