They're critical of Chelsea Clinton (who is a 39 year old adult) because of Chelsea's criticism of Rep Ilhan Omar. So they confronted her about it and asked her to apologize to Omar.

Just to give you some background. The young woman was referring to this tweet made by Clinton:




A tweet that never attacked Omar or stoked Islamophobia. And she ignores this follow up tweet made by Clinton:



She also ignores this: https://www.aol.com/article/news/2019/02/13/chelsea-clinton-goes-after-mike-pence-for-attacking-rep-ilhan-omars-tweets-about-israel/23668683/

Go out on the streets and start asking people if they hate Islam and Muslims. Shouldn’t be too hard to find even if it is hard to find someone to admit it.

When you find one, ask also their opinion of Chelsea Clinton and if they listen to the things she says and AGREE with her.

I’m willing to bet that person does not exist.
