"Journal News" featured Pace University in "Hillary: 'Retire the incumbent' as House votes to impeach"

Hillary Clinton couldnt have picked a more historic day to be surrounded by some of her most ardent fans on home turf.

As the House voted to impeach President Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee who lost to Trump after winning the popular vote by 3 million, took the stage at Pace University, just 4 miles away from her home in Chappaqua.

The House voted on Wednesday to impeach Trump for alleged abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

It is a story of abuse of power, using the office of the president to further not the nation's objectives but his own personal political objectives," Hillary Clinton said at the Plesasantville event, moderated by singer Vanessa Williams. "The facts are not at dispute. This is not a he said, she said. This is what happened.

"It's really important to me that I do everything I can and make sure that we retire the incumbent regardless of what happens," she added.

Frank Cosentino of New Rochelle, said he was curious to hear Clintons take on the nature of politics today.

She won the popular vote by 3 million and didn't become president," he said. "And now the person that beat her is getting impeached. Its a crazy time.

The mother-daughter duo were at Pace to discuss their book, The Book of Gutsy Women with singer Vanessa Williams, a fellow Chappaqua resident.

One of our most precious rights as Americans is the right to determine who our leaders are.

The president abused his powers to cheat in the next election and rob us of that right. Then he obstructed Congress to cover it up.

Lori Gowen Morton, a member of Chappaqua Friends of Hill leading up to the 2016 election, came to Pace with her daughters Nora, 12, and Kelly, 9.

I find it particularly satisfying today to be in the company of strong women celebrating other strong women, she said.

I want my daughters to grow up with the confidence and resilience to pursue their own big ideas and overcome challenges and failures that come along the way.

Gowen Morton said she couldnt imagine a better role model for this than Hillary Clinton and the women whose stories she and Chelsea share in their book.

I also want them to grow up in a country that defends the ideals of our constitution, protecting our institutions from corruption, foreign interference and unchecked power.

Kathleen Troy, from Danbury, Connecticut, said history would look kindly on Hillary and see just how ugly this whole scene was.

I do think the election was stolen," she said. "It's historic today. And I'm also heartbroken about where we are and knowing how much better everything would have been with her.

"News 12" featured Pace University in "Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Wrap Up Book Tour in Westchester"

Chappaqua's own Hillary and Chelsea Clinton wrapped up their book tour at Pace University Wednesday night, and addressed the impeachment of President Donald Trump voted by the House of Representatives.

Trump faces two articles of impeachment which include abusing his power by asking the Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and obstructing justice by blocking witnesses and information from Congress.

Some in the audience say they're worried about the nation's democracy. Hillary Clinton made a reference to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who says Trump will never be impeached in the Senate, saying that he may want it to end with an acquittal but there are people who want the president impeached.

She says she doesn't plan on tossing her name into the 2020 election, and that her focus is on the American people.

The mother-daughter duo also shared stories from "The Book of Gutsy Women." It celebrates more than 100 amazing women throughout history.

The event was moderated by actress and singer Vanessa Williams.

Welcome to Gilead, folks.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is under fire after posting a photo of members of hisForeign Affairs Policy Board that is comprised of nearly all white men and no women.

In 2011 then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton created the advisory board. It has, before Secretary Pompeo, been a far more diverse group.

For example, heres a photo of the Foreign Affairs Policy Board under Secretary of State John Kerry:

In years past, the board has included notable women including former Congresswoman Jane Harman, think tank president Anne-Marie Slaughter, and former governor and EPA administrator Christine Todd Whitman, among others. The initial founding group of 11 included four women, in addition to Sec. Clinton.

On social media many made clear their frustration that yet again a Trump administration project is not representative of America but composed of mostly white male seniors.

Theres no doubt that Meghan Markle has garnered a number of celebrity supporters. From George Clooney and Serena Williams to Priyanka Chopra and Elton John, Markle has a roster of celeb besties that have spoken out to the press in her defense.

However, one of her most high-profile defenders is someone that no royal fan would have suspected: a former presidential hopeful who has experienced her own misfortune with the press. Markles latest fan is none other than Hillary Clinton.

Keep reading to learn how Markle and Clinton are connected, what Clinton said in Markles defense, and why royal fans think that the former First Lady is obsessed with Markle.

Long before she was a member of the royal family, Markle was heavily involved in world politics. From the time she was a preteen, Markle had a strong social conscience.

When she was eleven years old, Markle saw a commercial on television for dishwashing soap that was marketed directly to women. The young woman had a problem with the commercials phrasing, and wrote letters to some powerful women, including then-First Lady Hillary Clinton, asking that the commercial be changed to reflect feminist ideals.

Throughout the years, Markle remained a staunch supporter of Clinton and in 2016, when Clinton was running for president, Markle was a vocal proponent for her campaign. She spoke out several times in support of Clinton and even shared her views on her since-deleted Instagram account.

These days, Markle isnt really allowed to voice her support for any particular political candidate, but it is clear that the women still have a great deal of mutual respect for each other.

As a young reader, I absolutely adored Nancy Drew, the intrepid sixteen-year-old high school graduate who solved mysteries. My friends and I all wanted to be more like Nancy: smart, brave, and independent. (In particular, I admired the way she would sometimes do her detective work wearing sensible pants.) That's why I was absolutely delighted to come face-to-face with one of my old Nancy Drew mysteriesThe Hidden Window Mysterywhile in my hometown of Park Ridge, Illinois last week. It had been donated to my old school's used book sale, and enjoyed by another local family, the Machons, who noticed that I'd signed my name on the inside cover. Nancy Drew was the first literary hero that I shared with both my mother, Dorothy, and my daughter, Chelsea. She's one of the heroes we write about in "The Book of Gutsy Women." I love that we shared her with the Machons and countless other families, too. #GutsyWomen

The Duchess of Sussex has been experiencing a lot of negativity from the British tabloids, and it has caused many of Markles fans stateside to sit up and take notice. Clinton has voiced her concern for Markle several times within the past several months.

Most recently, when speaking withBBC Radio 5 in mid-November, Clinton vocalized support for the duchess. When asked what Clinton thought about the way the press has treated Markle, Clinton stated: oh my God, I want to hug her!

She also said that as a mother she just wants to put her arms around her and that she wants to pass along the message of dont let those bad guys get you down. Clinton also raved about how Markle should be given a break and said that the Duchess of Sussex deserves a lot better.

She has made her own way in the world, Clinton told The BBC. Then she falls in love, and he falls in love with her, and everybody should be celebrating that because it is a true love story. You can just look at them and see that.

Clinton added: You know, its not easy. And there are some techniques that can be learned along the way, some humor, some deflection, whatever, which Im sure she will come to. But it is tough what she is going through. And I think she deserves a lot better.

Its clear that Clinton is firmly in Markles corner, and ready to defend the former actress whenever the occasion calls for it.

Clintons public show of support was rewarded when reportedly, she met with Markle and Baby Archie Harrison at Frogmore Cottage earlier this November. The report claims that Clinton and Markle discussed the letter that Markle wrote when she was eleven and womens issues that are important to them both.

This ongoing show of mutual respect has caused many royal fans to wonder if Clinton is truly obsessed with Markle. It certainly seems as though she is on Markles side in the war of the press, and that the two have several things in common.

The BBC interview isnt the first time Clinton vocalized support for Markle.

She reportedly vouched for the Duchess of Sussex in aninterview withThe Sunday Times. Clinton said, the way [Markle has] been treated [by the British media] is inexplicable.

If the explanation is that shes biracial, then shame on everybody, added Clinton, saying Markles race is certainly part of it.

Still, it seems unlikely that the two will ever be able to become very close friends, considering members of the royal family are not supposed to take sides politically, and Markle would get lambasted in the press if she ever voiced support for Clintons politics again. Still, Markle is clearly ready to accept support from wherever she can, especially when it is from public figures that she has shown an affinity for in the past.

Hillary Clinton claimed Republicans would affirm that President Trump is above the law if they do not vote to impeach.

Clinton chastised Republicans and questioned if they would use their power to check Trumps impeachable offenses and remove him from office. She took to Twitter to claim the only question remaining regarding impeachment is whether Republicans will protect Trump, not whether he committed acts deemed impeachable by the Constitution.

The question is not whether Trump has committed impeachable crimes. He has, Clinton tweeted. The question is whether Republicans in Congress will affirm that an American president is not above the law.

She also took an impeachment victory lap by retweeting a post that said, Do yall ever sit back and think about how much [Hillary Clinton] was actually right about? She added the caption, Occasionally.

Although Clinton may believe there is no question on impeachment, most Republicans disagree. Republican Rep. Will Hurd of Texas, who has been a Trump critic, called Trumps actions misguided but not impeachable.

"An impeachable offense should be compelling, overwhelmingly clear, and unambiguous, and its not something to be rushed or taken lightly," Hurd explained during Thursdays hearing. "I have not heard evidence proving the president committed bribery or extortion."

Clinton, 72, was accused of being above the law herself because she used a private email server, putting classified State Department documents at risk. The decision haunted her presidential campaign. In July 2016, then-FBI Director James Comey announced that he would not recommend charging anyone in relation to Clinton's email server, despite calling her private email use "extremely careless."

Comey's last-minute decision to reopen the investigation into the server was highly criticized after Clinton's defeat in 2016. She lost the election by 77 electoral votes. Many believe her failure to campaign in swing states such as Michigan and Wisconsin cost her the election.
