Well, the Left can use anything to try to trash Donald Trump. Chelsea Clinton recently appeared on CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on her children’s book promotional tour. Okay, so it’s not just any children’s book, it’s a feminist book called She Persisted Around the World, an homage to the Elizabeth Warren quote that inexplicably inspired so many liberal women.

Anyway, the interview was not really about the book. What Colbert really wanted was for Chelsea to give him some dirt on just how much her parents hated the President of the United States. Nothing says books sales for kids’ books like animosity. Alex Parker over at Truth Revolt has the details:

Putting aside Clinton’s book for over half the interview, obsessed Colbert was unrelenting with his ploy to get Bill and Hillary’s only child to “spill” her family’s hate for the President. The radical host pointed out:

“Your family has a particularly unique relationship, emotionally, to the fact that Donald Trump is President of the United States.”

Reiterating his own loathing for the country’s Commander-in-Catholic, Colbert then asked Chelsea how her family “copes” with their “anxiety” over Trump’s apparently sinister occupation of the White House:

“How does your family cope with that level of anxiety that Donald Trump, I think, wants to generate every day? I have my own way, but I gave up liquor for Lent.”

Dying for some dished dirt, Colbert prodded:

“How do you guys talk about this at home? Like, c’mon, spill the tea. How do you guys talk about Donald Trump? Give me a conversation recently you’ve had about the President.”

The former First Daughter remarked, “Goodness,” an opportunity upon which Colbert seized to fish for something more vulgar:

“That’s the strongest language you use?! Gee willikers. It doesn’t get any sharper or crisper than that at home?”

“It’s just not really productive,” Clinton explained.

That’s exactly right. She did give him a little of the red meat he so craved. “As you noted, the president, I think, thrives on anxiety and insults,” she said. “There’s just always so much to talk about. Because I think, unfortunately, this administration is kind of the collision of cruelty and incompetence.”

At one point, the fawning host fell over himself to compliment her. “Does your entire family speak in paragraphs? Because that was a real beautiful paragraph.” Um… what? Can you imagine if a member of the Trump family was interviewed how cruel and rude he’d be to them?

Either way, I hate that “comedy” shows have devolved into this who-can-be-the-most-liberal-host contest. Here’s an idea. What if comedians actually just tried to be funny, instead of using their platform for so-called “social justice?”
