In a new interview with the The Sunday Times, Hillary Clinton defended Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s decision to take legal action against the British media following poor treatment the Duchess has received. 

“I do want to say that the way she’s been treated is inexplicable,” Hillary said. “If the explanation is that she’s biracial, then shame on everybody,” adding that Meghan’s race is “certainly part of it.”

Her daughter Chelsea, who was also being interviewed, chimed in as well.  

“She proudly had a career first and has a voice that she thankfully continues to use,” said Chelsea. “Anyone who has the temerity to break the mold of what has previously been established and expected often, unfortunately, receives criticism and bile that I don’t understand. We’ve seen this pattern repeatedly.”

The former first daughter added, “I don’t know her, but as someone who respects her, I’m so grateful that she persists, and is unbowed, and is doing work she feels called to do. And isn’t willing to be bullied.”

Hey, it takes a public figure to understand the plight of another public figure, right?
