Chelsea Clinton continues to attack Donald Trump and the GOP.
She’s positioning herself as a left-wing culture warrior who never misses an opportunity to jab conservatives.
But she ended up with egg on her face, and failed miserably in trying to take down Trump.
Clinton’s latest target was the GOP health care bill.
Conservatives do not believe the bill goes far enough in repealing and replacing Obamacare, but that hasn’t stopped the left from claiming it will bring about the apocalypse.
Too many regulations, mandates about coverage and bailouts to insurance companies are included in the legislation.
The bill doesn’t repeal and replace, so much as tweak it.
Chelsea Clinton zeroed in on another target.
And her criticism induced groans and ridicule from people who saw it.
According to Clinton, the problem with the bill is the lack of use of the word “woman” in the text of the legislation.
In the Senate #Trumpcare legislation, "woman" is used only 3x. "Women" not at all. https://t.co/Ty8eSvdkXs

Some quickly responded and pointed out the sexist nature of her comments.
How many times are "men" mentioned?

Hey Chelsea – How many times is 'man' or 'men' used? Didn't consider that, did you?

Others wondered why she was hung up on the use of the word “woman” since liberals believe you pick and choose what gender you identify as.
i thought gender was an unimportant, fluid social construct now…. am i mistaken?

Clinton got hit from multiple angles for her failed attack on the GOP’s health care bill.
There are legitimate criticisms of the legislation.
But they don’t include the identity politics Chelsea Clinton is hung up on.
