Chelsea Clinton Hits Trump: ‘Sexism Is Not an Opinion, Islamophobia Is Not an Opinion’

‘I think though that we also have to recognize particularly at this moment that sexism is not an opinion’

EXCERPT:

CLINTON: "I completely agree that we have to always start by listening and calling out and giving a platform, encouraging, particularly those who are and have been structurally disempowered and often forcibly silenced. And I think we all have a vested interest, particularly to your point, to our first principles always moving toward a more perfect union. I think though that we also have to recognize particularly at this moment that sexism is not an opinion. Islamophobia is not an opinion. Racism is not an opinion. Homophobia is not an opinion. Jingoism is not an opinion. So I think we, in our posture of listening, also have to get comfortable with standing up and speaking out because I also agree that those of us that have been blessed, and by definition all of us on the stage today have been blessed, there is a responsibility with giving voice to the voiceless but also using our own voices."
