BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Chelsea Clinton called out New York Times reporter Amy Chozick for claiming the former first daughter popped Champagne on the night of the 2016 presidential election and poured it into Hillary Clinton campaign staffers’ glasses. The Times published an excerpt of Chozick’s new book—Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling”, discussing the Clinton campaign’s experience on election night. “Things were already looking bad when Chelsea Clinton popped the Champagne,” Chozick writes. “It was just after 9 p.m. on election night and she was having her hair and makeup done in the family’s suite at the Peninsula hotel. She stopped to pour what somebody told me was Veuve Clicquot into everyone’s glasses, figuring that in a couple of hours Donald Trump’s run of early victories in red states (West Virginia, Oklahoma, Alabama) would end and the map would turn back in her mom’s favor.” Chelsea stated that depiction is totally false. “By 9 p.m., we were all pretty sure that my lying mother would lose,” she explained. “There wasn’t any champagne there at that point, only hard liquor and cocaine. And the people that didn’t indulge in either, used some bogus medical marijuana cards to go out and buy some weed, and then stop by a store to purchase several shopping bags of snacks.”
