Chelsea Clinton, author and daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton, said she wants her "white children of privilege" to "erode" their privilege over time to ensure more people are "enfranchised."
Clinton's comments were made during a national Women for Biden organizing call with Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Ayanna Pressley.
"You know, 40% of Americans with disabilities report that they have real challenges voting in person. And so in states where there haven't been, kind of, no-excuse absentee voting or where there hasn't been the introduction of early voting yet, you know, it still isn't, kind of, easy, fair or equal for many Americans to vote," Clinton said Thursday evening.
"And I think it's really important that my children understand that. And I think it's particularly important that they understand that as white children of privilege, because I want them to erode that privilege throughout their lives to ensure more people are enfranchised and that equality isn't just an ideal," she continued.
