Hillary Rodham Clinton & Chelsea Clinton on "Gutsy Women" and Trump

CBS News September 29, 2019, 10:13 AM

At the Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial in Manhattan, Hillary Rodham Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea, look upon a 20th-century giant. "I think she was one of the greatest Americans in our history," Hillary told "Sunday Morning" host Jane Pauley.
"She is a kind of transcendent figure over generations because of all that she did in her life," Chelsea said.

Hillary added, "I just find that depiction of her to be as I imagine her – thoughtfully listening, taking it all in."
And at the New York Historical Society, they handled a racquet from the hands of tennis legend Billie Jean King. And they examined a century-old banner from the Women's Suffrage Movement. "I have one of these at my home," Hillary said. "I have it over the fireplace; I look at it every day."
The mementos breathe life into a collection of stories called "The Book of Gutsy Women," co-authored by mother and daughter, and published by CBS' Simon & Schuster.

Hillary Chimes In on the 'Corrupt Human Tornado'


Hillary Clinton on Tuesday joined the rising chorus of Democrats calling for at least an impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump following reports that Trump pressured Ukraine’s government to look into unsubstantiated theories about the family of his leading 2020 challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden.
Clinton, a sharp critic of Trump since narrowly losing to him in the 2016 presidential election, made the impassioned call during an exclusive interview with PEOPLE set to be published in next week’s issue.
“We are in a crisis,” Clinton said.
She told PEOPLE she was now supporting Trump’s impeachment. “I did not come to that decision easily or quickly,” she said, “but this is an emergency as I see it. … This latest behavior around Ukraine, trying to enlist the president of Ukraine in a plot to undermine former Vice President Biden or lose the military aid he needs to defend against Trump’s friend Vladimir Putin — if that’s not an impeachable offense, I don’t know what is.”

Please help us help the victims by giving a huge donation to Clinton Foundation Today. We rebuilt Haiti and we’ll rebuild Nassau and Orlando.” It was from a parody account with the moniker @MadamPresident to dupe users. Clinton’s real account is @HillaryClinton.
