Chelsea Clinton in Twitter war after Fox News comments
CHELSEA Clinton has hit back at claims by a Fox News commentator that her mother Hillary would "sell her only child" to be president.
In discussion segment The Five on the favoured news station of President Donald Trump, Lisa Marie Boothe described Mrs Clinton as "the most soulless woman on the planet who would literally sell her daughter to become president".
Chelsea, a mother-of-two, defended her mother on Twitter saying she never doubted she was the most important thing in Mrs Clinton's life.
No, she wouldn't. I've never doubted & always known I was the most important part of her life. Now as a mom I'm even more grateful to my mom https://t.co/IZE4ZSUVOs

The exchange comes just days after she was targeted by Trump, as he defended his daughter Ivanka taking his place at a discussion table during the G20 world leaders summit in Germany.
Ms Clinton also replied to that via Twitter.
Good morning Mr. President. It would never have occurred to my mother or my father to ask me. Were you giving our country away? Hoping not. https://t.co/4ODjWZUp0c

Ms Boothe is a contributor to Fox News and a columnist for the Washington Examiner.
It was not just Chelsea Clinton she offended with her attack on Hillary.

What a horrible thing to say Lisa Marie Booth. You are filled with hatred. Glad Chelsea responded!

Looks like Lisa Marie fell asleep in the Trump tanning booth, and it overcooked her brain.
