Chelsea made false statement about mother's condemnation of Darfur

Yes, that one member of the audience crossed the line a week ago by asking Chelsea about her take on the Lewinsky scandal.  But since she is a campaign surrogate speaking on her mom's behalf, she isn't immune to all scrutiny.

During a campaign stop in Pennsylvania, Chelsea Clinton falsely claimed that her mother was the first person to call the situation in Darfur a "genocide."

Actually, it was Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) who first spoke about genocide in March of 2004.  Clinton said nothing about genocide before then, and it wasn't until May of 2004 when she finally supported legislation that condemned the situation there.
