Chelsea Clinton on Wednesday called out a former spokesman for her and her mother Hillary Clinton after he mocked Donald Trump Jr. on Twitter, saying Trump’s estranged wife “fantasized” about her high school boyfriend while the Trumps were being “intimate.”
“Vanessa being with a Latin King must’ve driven you insanely jealous. The machismo, the passion. Tough act to follow. Did you wonder if she fantasized about Valentin Rivera when intimate with you? She did. Every time.” Phillippe Reines tweeted at Trump Jr.
Clinton called the message from Reines “vile,” after being asked how she felt about the tweet from her former employee.
This man was the Press Secretary and a Senior Advisor to Hillary Clinton. @PhilippeReines was also the spokesman for @ChelseaClinton. I wonder how they feel about this tweet from Philippe? pic.twitter.com/NFWcfHe0ns

Reines’ initial tweet was in response to a Page Six story about Vanessa’s “high school sweetheart” Valentin Rivera. Since dating Vanessa, Rivera has reportedly served multiple prison terms and become a member of the Latin Kings, a street gang.
Reines served as a senior adviser to Hillary Clinton at the State Department. He also served as spokesperson for Chelsea Clinton.
