Yesterday, Dinesh D’souza tweeted about how smart Bristol Palin is but attacked Chelsea Clinton in the same sentence.

One of the people who came to Clinton’s aide? Ben Howe.
“Horse-faced” is probably verbatim how Jesus refers to @ChelseaClinton. Right, author of “What’s So Great About Christianity?” https://t.co/PwV0u9AITd

And Chelsea appreciated the sentiment.
Thank you Ben.
— Chelsea Clinton (@ChelseaClinton) January 14, 2018
Except Chelsea’s followers didn’t understand he was defending her.

Um. Not quite, Rachel.

HAHAHA.
I believe you missed his point…
— Michael Hallman (@hallmanreport) January 14, 2018
Exactly.
Rachel, Ben was not calling Chelsea anything. He was making fun of the fraudulent and hypocritical felon @DineshDSouza for calling Chelsea that.

Someone had to break it down.
I stand in support Chelsea Clinton today .. Her face looks fine. Women are not just the value of their body forms to some men. If you want to disagree w what she says or writes or does go ahead.. but don't be shallow.
— DK Seattle (@DesireeSeattle) January 14, 2018
Agreed. And you know what? We can ridicule people’s thoughts but saying she looks like a horse goes too far.
You complete Moron. @BenHowe was defending @ChelseaClinton against the horrifying remarks of @DineshDSouza – maybe next time you should take the time to read what you are responding to.

That escalated quickly.
We deserve the meteor coming for us all. https://t.co/cAs6r2iiNg

Sadly, that’s true.
And name calling accomplishes what? Ben go take ur nap & awaken with less five yr old grumpiness.
— Corena (@corenaboo) January 14, 2018
…what?
I’m confused why people don’t understand that I was condemning Dinesh
— Ben Howe (@BenHowe) January 14, 2018
They don’t understand your references.
I understood. Thank you Ben.
— Chelsea Clinton (@ChelseaClinton) January 14, 2018
Proof that you can be on opposite sides of the aisle and have moral integrity.
I hope Dinesh reads his own book again, someday.
— Ben Howe (@BenHowe) January 14, 2018
Wouldn’t that make things more interesting?

Definitely an interesting comparison.
It pays better. Which if I achieve my own career goals is bad news for my retirement.

Sadly, that’s how it is for journalists and reporters who are fair.
