Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, thought it would be a good idea to spar with conservative firebrand Ben Shaprio on Twitter.
She quickly found out that it wasn’t going to end well for her.
The exchange began when House Speaker Paul Ryan sent out this tweet:
#LightItUpBlue for #AutismAwareness. pic.twitter.com/uaNcgJPgYK
— Paul Ryan (@SpeakerRyan) April 2, 2017
Brian Beutler, a senior editor at the liberal website New Republic, replied to Ryan by arguing that the Republican healthcare bill would cut funding for autism research and medical assistance.
"Awareness" is a catch-all that invites praise but obscures an agenda of cutting autism research and medical assistance. https://t.co/nyh9qdQ4f5

Clinton jumped in on the bandwagon and tried to hurl an insult at Speaker Ryan.
Words without action are … meaningless. Words with inaction are … just words. Words with opposite action is … hypocrisy. https://t.co/hLYUiZT5tN

Ben Shapiro mocked Clinton for sending out tweets rather than actually doing something about it.
Glad you tweeted something about it. https://t.co/oYhIMlZcvr

Clinton tried to fire back at Shapiro, adding that she was simply being “sarcastic,” but Shapiro wasn’t going to let her off the hook for her comments.
Clinton has a long history of arguing that she was “joking” or being “sarcastic” when notable names call her out for unsubstantiated comments.
Sarcasm may not translate on Twitter. The Republican healthcare plan wld let states cut #autism coverage. That cruelty needs no translation. https://t.co/ttUnbmfNyb

You weren't being sarcastic. Also, this is called "federalism." Ask your dad about it sometime. https://t.co/M9U9cvv8tT
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) April 28, 2017
Federalism is the combining of a general government with regional governments to form one large single political system, which is what is commonly used by Democrats in order to expand the power and reach of the government.
Shapiro was pointing out that when Bill Clinton was president, he signed the Federalism Executive Order in 1998.
Clinton’s new executive order on federalism is a serious affront to the federalist framework established in the U.S. Constitution. It adopts and expands the tortured logic of New Deal expansionist policymaking and jurisprudence. President Clinton’s version of federalism would make individuals more, not less, subservient to the federal government. The Founding Fathers’ version, by comparison, limits the power of the federal government over the lives and liberty of individuals
