Chelsea Clinton was awarded yet another humanitarian award—for doing essentially nothing.
The latest? She won City Harvest’s Award for Commitment, due to her efforts to fight hunger in New York City.
Clinton won the award not by actually leading the charge to end hunger in New York City, but by helping box donated grapefruit. Once.
That is City Harvest’s definition of “commitment”?
It’s worth noting that the Clinton Foundation is, unsurprisingly, a big donor to City Harvest.
Many Americans donate their time and energy to help feed America’s poorest residents—and they should be lauded for doing their part to help the less fortunate, including Chelsea Clinton. But many Americans have dedicated far more effort to helping feed the hungry—and it’s not right that their efforts should go unnoticed and unrewarded just because Chelsea and her camera crew came in to box some fruit one day.
Chelsea is no stranger to receiving unearned awards. Just last week, she was a Lifetime Achievement Award honoree at Variety Magazine’s Power of Women luncheon. (Where, after being gently teased by emcee Vanessa Bayer, Chelsea proved she doesn’t know how to take a joke.)
But despite Clinton’s mantle of awards from the fawning left, it’s clear: to date, her only real accomplishment is having been being born to Bill and Hillary Clinton.
