A joke by a Saturday Night Live actress either fell flat, or it was an intentional dig at Chelsea Clinton and her mother on Friday.
During Variety’s “Power of Women New York” luncheon, SNL actress Vanessa Bayer previewed the honorees, and appeared to ad lib a joke at Chelsea’s expense.
“We have some pretty amazing honorees this afternoon,” Bayer said. “Jessia Chastain, Gayle King, Blake Lively, Audra McDonald, Tina Knowles, Shari Redstone, and Chelsea Clinton.”
She added, “They all have one thing in common: None of their moms are president.”
During her remarks, Chelsea didn’t seem to appreciate the joke, responding, “Vanessa, we may be able to say in this room that no one’s mother is currently president, but someday, someone’s will be.”
Is this the entertainment elites’ way to get the Clintons to go away?
