Chelsea Clinton called her mom’s loss in the 2016 election an “unexpected blessing” for her and her family.
“We spent lots of time with my children,” Hillary Clinton’s daughter explained during her appearance on “The View” Wednesday. Adding that with “a little chardonnay and a lot of Charlotte [her daughter], thankfully,” she helped her mom cope with the loss to Donald Trump.

“My son, Aidan, is 11 months old now and my daughter, Charlotte, is two and a half,” she added. “And the unexpected blessing has been all the time that we have been able to spend together as a family.”
Clinton shared that a couple of weeks ago she planted a garden at her parent’s house and how great it was to see them working alongside her kid.
“Seeing my mother and my father dig in the dirt with my daughter… was just like such an unforeseen gift that my daughter was giving me to see my parents in that way,” Clinton explained.
Earlier in the segment, she commented on the gruesome photo of Kathy Griffin holding a bloody severed head of Trump after Whoopi Goldberg noted that people should never joke about the assassination of the president.
“I mean, I hope we are in a place as a country that we at least can agree on that,” Clinton responded. “I hope that we at least agree that it’s never funny to joke about violence towards anyone and particularly in this politically charged moment towards our president.”
On Tuesday, Clinton was one of the first people on the left to speak out against Griffin’s photo.
“This is vile and wrong. It is never funny to joke about killing a president,” Clinton tweeted.

Griffin has since issued an apology.
