Only a few weeks has passed since Sen. Elizabeth Warren was told to sit down and be quiet while she was in the midst of slandering then Sen. Jeff Sessions in violation of Senate rules. Part of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s explanation for his sanction was, “She had appeared to violate the rule. She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.” The statement has been turned into a slogan by the radical, feminist left to paint Warren as something of a cross between Joan of Arc and Xena Warrior Princess. Now the last sentence has become the title of a new children’s book that Chelsea Clinton is putting together and is publishing under her name.
“She Persisted” will be a picture book depicting the lives of Famous Women who, you guessed it, persisted under overwhelming odds. According to Entertainment Weekly, the subjects include, “Harriet Tubman, Helen Keller, Nellie Bly, Maria Tallchief, Claudette Colvin, Clara Lemlich, Ruby Bridges, Margaret Chase Smith, Sally Ride, Florence Griffith Joyner, Oprah Winfrey, and Sonia Sotomayor.” Another important female figure from recent American political history will also make an appearance. The gentle reader has three guesses as to whom that might be and the first two do not count.
The opportunism of this political children’s book is breathtaking. The fact that only a few weeks passed to put the idea together proves that Chelsea Clinton is thinking seriously of taking up the baton of Familia Clinton and seeking political power in her own right.
Whether that is the Senate, a governorship or something more modest like a House seat is a minor detail to be determined. The plan, no doubt, is to position the younger Clinton to become President Clinton the Next Generation by about 2032 if not sooner.
Mind, a children’s book is the perfect first gambit if you are a Clinton and want political power.
The Clinton political base consists of suggestible liberal women, many of them with children. As many men (and that would include Chelsea’s dad) know the quickest to a woman’s favor is through her kids. And by favor, we mean, in her case, their votes.
