What makes people do the things they do will always be a question for the ages. Especially if what they are doing is being the creepy guy pushing sexual innuendo-filled questions at Chelsea Clinton during her book signing for a book aimed at teens titled It’s Your World.
The weirdo’s name is Robert Morrow and he trolled her while at a book signing in Austin, Texas. Clinton was amazingly gracious during the entire encounter, and by the end when she didn’t react, Morrow was kind of just left a fool to wander off into the sunset.
The video shows Morrow walking up to Clinton like he wants to get a book signed, but instead asks the former first daughter:
Has your mother ever told you that you’re the daughter of Webb Hubbell, and not Bill Clinton.
Not skipping a beat at such a horrible question (because she is a Clinton after all and knows how to handle herself when attacked by false accusations), Chelsea responds, smiling, with:
I am so proud to be my parents’ daughter.
As she should be, her parents are pretty much the biggest, most powerful, and most influential power couple in all of the United States, and have been for decades.
Trying to get the crackpot to leave, those surrounding Clinton were unsuccessfully trying to usher him away. However, he insisted on being an even larger douchebag, because while getting Chelsea to say that her book is aimed at teenagers, he then asked:
Would you say Bill Clinton also targets teenage girls, except for sexual reasons?
Not flinching, she again doesn’t give into the troll. After all, that’s what these lunatic trolls want — to get a negative reaction. Clinton marvelously responded:
I would say my book is really resonating with kids. I was at the Ann Richards School earlier today and I’m so grateful that it’s resonating to the young girls and the young boys that I’ve been talking to across the country.
That answer left him without his reward of a successful trolling, so he just wandered off in seeming self-defeat.
Kudos to Chelsea Clinton for standing up for herself and her family in the best way possible, by simply ignoring the stupidity of others.

Brava, Chelsea!
A Texan, what do you expect? Texans are all stupid and mean.
No we’re not-it’s just that the rude pigs and the idiots seem to take over the spotlight. Way to keep your cool, Chelsea.
Don’t say that. I was born in Texas and I love my state. But there are millions of backwards idiots that live here. But not all of us are so inept.
Totally true…the idiots get the press for their egregious behavior. Thanks for standing up for your state (born in California, living in Idaho past 30 years).
Painting everyone, latino, caucasian, indian, african american, asian, middle eastern people who ALL live in Texas with a pretty broad brush aren’t you? Your comment says a whole lot more about you than it does the millions of decent, kind, multi-cultural Texans who live in Texas.
JamieHaman - We know that. I am a Texan, but we do have more than out share of hateful people, that flood to anyplace, where they know a democrat will be speaking, or as for Chelsea at her book signing in Austin. Its not Just in Texas, its in other states also. Republicans keep tract of all these places where democrats will be, and be there with protesters! I’m sure the lady knew there are good people in Texas, but as of late we have shown a lot of the people who are kind of backwards in their thinking about everything that applies to the democrats.
She knows a pile of manure, when she sees it.!!!
Yeah, Texas sized!!
Sarah….you missed the best part……as they were walking out he says…”I don’t think she hears very good!”
Actually, his partner says, “I don’t think you (meaning the collective you) can hear (it) very good, Man.” Meaning…. he didn’t think they got good volume on the tape.
like how he waddled away
The ability to handle trolls with class is a rare talent that Chelsea seems to have mastered. He looked like a fool.
With trolls it’s usually not difficult to make them look like fools as there’s usually so much material to work with.
OK then! Chelsea for President in 2040! She is just SO SMART!
I really admire her for keeping her cool - I’d have jumped the table and there’d be a brawl No one deserves to be addressed like that, even Sarah Palin, whom I abhor.
Wow!!! Chelsea did great and her parents will be so proud. Those guys were creepy ignorant repubs!
Every time I see the name Dominic(iniccinic,lol) Blais I just click the minus symbol on the right hand side and I don’t even have to see his disgusting and disturbing comments. In case you were unaware, he is the troll in the video. (;)
She knows how to handle herself because she is an intelligent woman raised by intelligent people!
You’re correct that she’s her parents daughter. A complete political phony. She knows that guy was right, and just like her parents, is a professional at misdirection. By the way, her writing a book is exactly what the establishment elite do. They give outlets for their own to make obscene amounts of money off of fools like the people who create these websites. Though this girl has nothing to offer humanity, she will continue to make millions, just because she is one of the chosen.
Watch out, Mitch McConnell, your jealousy is showing. Go console John Boehner, I think he is crying.
No no you’re thinking of Bristol Palin, the one who didn’t finish high school, didn’t go to college, doesn’t know how to get married BEFORE she gets pregnant yet again and yet tries to tell everyone else how to live their lives.
Speaking of trolls….
No, you have them confused with the American Idiots, the Palin’s.
The point is that she handled herself very well and the Republican looked like a complete fool for asking such stupid questions
Don’t forget to adjust the tin foil on your hat.
Thank you for your tea party, Cruzian, uninformed trolling!
Keep thinking the “chosen people” are why you suck, can’t make anything of your life and are generally unliked. Don’t ever wonder if it might be you. You’re really just lovely.
How do you know “the guy was right”?
So funny that he thought because she refused to react to his ignorance because she didn’t hear him. I so admire her ability to stay cool while being attacked by someone not fit to tie her shoes.
Hilarious that he thought she didn’t hear him because she refused to play his childish game! I hope he sees this thread…we all heard him and…he’s an idiot.
And all with a smile on her face…dignity and grace.
wow she should run for president
The gentleman exhibited a trait common to many Tea Party members - ill-mannered and puerile behavior.
“Before a man speaks, it is always safe to assume that he is a fool. After he speaks it is seldom necessary to assume.” H. L. Mencken
Wow, that is some serious poise. Good for her. That guy shot himself in the foot-any decent conservative will realize that was just hideous.
If this makes you angry, then channel your anger constructively. Send some money to Chelsea’s mom’s Presidential campaign and to the campaigns of the stellar Democratic candidates who are working to take back the Senate including Maggie Hassan in New Hampshire; Kamala Harris in California; Tammy Duckworth in Illinois; Russ Feingold in Wisconsin; and Donna Edwards in Maryland.
I second that!
and this idiot posted the video to show how badly he got smacked?
Bill Clinton was a wonderful President in spite of the Republicans’ dirty plot to bring him down with Monica Lewinsky. It’s obvious that President Clinton and Hillary did raised a wonderful daughter and human being.
what an ignorant $%^& get a life
I’m afraid I would have torn his throat out. I’m kinda wishing she had.
FYI - Chelsea is a highly intelligent and educated young woman. She’s attended 3 of the most prestigious universities in the world: Stanford, University of Oxford (England) and Columbia University. She holds to Master’s degrees (Philosophy and Public Health) and began coursework for her PhD at NYU’s Wagner School of Public Service. She has taught graduate classes at Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health, and has served as Assistant Vice-Provost for the Global Network University of New York University. She has also received various awards, including the Temple of Understanding award for her “work in advancing a new model of integrating interfaith and cross-cultural education into campus life.” In addition of serving as Vice Chairwoman of the Clinton Foundation, she also serves on the boards of School of American Ballet and on IAC’s board of directors.
As anyone can see, she’s no lightweight, but an accomplished and well-rounded personality.
A typical right-wing semi-literate, she did a great job of deflecting his narcissistic rage.
It’s called “grace”. More Christians (of the rightwing variety) ought to try it sometimes.
Your mother must be so proud to see the person you turned out to be, informed, eloquent, gracious, and well spoken
Projecting?
I would’ve stapled this to his forehead.
Dominic, there ya’ go again talking ’bout yo momma!
She was superb-reminded me of a definition from the old south: A lady is a woman who treats a man as if he were a gentleman whether he is one or not. Chelsea went one better however: she treated a barnyard animal as if he were a gentleman.
Dominic Blais, your hatred for women is showing.
Dominic Blais, it sounds to me like you are in a state of narcissistic rage.
You live in a very small world of your own making. Hate rules you. How sad for you to be so ignorant and hateful. Do you have a clue who the Bush twins married?
Just like those Bush twins did. Dominic, you are a lonely loser.
Dominic you are such a dirt bag troll! Get a life or just die!
You just spew hate, Dominic Hater!
Dominic’s wife is to busy blowing dogs for nickels and giving change to dish out the ass-whipping he normally gets at home to keep him in line.
I hope he is on an FBI watchlist for domestic terrorist. People like this worry me-who knows just how crazy he might be!
