EXCLUSIVE: Power-hungry Chelsea Clinton pushed the man who was Bill's 'surrogate son' out of the Clinton Foundation and now she's even jealous of her husband Marc, who's grown closer to her father, says new book
- Ed Klein fires at the former first daughter in his new book Unlikeable as he calls her 'entitled, bratty and domineering'
- 'If Bill wasn't exactly afraid of Chelsea, he was definitely in awe of her,' a guest recalls of the time she lashed out over Doug Band at a party

- 'She's jealous of anyone who gets between her and her father,' new book claims Chelsea doesn't like how her husband cozies up to her father
- Chelsea plays one parent off against the other in screaming sessions while exercising a 'lacerating temper'
The world watched her enter the White House with her parents as a sweet, curly-haired teenager. But now a power-hungry Chelsea Clinton is 'entitled, bratty and domineering' - and has even pushed the man who was Bill's 'surrogate son' out of the Clinton Foundation.
Those explosive claims come from Ed Klein in his new book Unlikeable, published by Regnery Publishing.
Chelsea, 35, has skillfully adopted traits from both of her parents, learning how to play one off the other in screaming sessions while exercising a 'lacerating temper.'
She has become more of her mother's daughter than her father's with the same hair trigger anger.
'Chelsea has grown up with parents with hot tempers. She's as clever and analytical at arguing both sides of a question as her dad, and she's as volatile as her mom', Klein writes.
And she's becoming a powerful player in the 'palace intrigue among the three Clintons and has moved into being a major player in the Clinton Foundation.

Chelsea Clinton speaks during the closing session of the Clinton Global Initiative.
New book calls the former first daughter 'entitled and bratty'
Three's company: the relationship between the Clinton family is 'complicated,' reveals a new book
While it seems like a family sitcom, it's made for a complicated relationship between the three of them and while Hillary and Bill obviously love their daughter, 'they're not comfortable with all of Chelsea's activities'.
When the Clinton Foundation was renamed for the three Clintons in the spring of 2013, Chelsea found herself with a 'cushy gig' and suddenly more power in the Foundation's operations.
That 'overbearing, I-know-better attitude sent senior staff fleeing for the exit.
It wasn't a good time at the Foundation in the fall of 2013 when the New York Times described the Foundation as hemorrhaging money with a multimillion dollar deficit despite all the money coming in.
'When Chelsea read the Times story, she went ballistic. She climbed into her Cadillac Escalade and drove from New York City to Chappaqua to confront her father'.
Out came Chelsea's 'lacerating temper' in front of Bill's guests.
She screamed 'Inexcusable incompetence!' and demanded that Doug Band, a political adviser and lawyer who was Bill's former personal assistant, be terminated immediately.
Band, known as 'Bill's adopted son', was portrayed as the chief villain in the Times story and Chelsea wanted him out.
'Chelsea hated Band. She hated the influence he had over her father, and she deeply resented the inference that he was somehow like a son to Bill. That really grated on her'.
'If Bill wasn't exactly afraid of Chelsea, he was definitely in awe of her', the author quotes an unnamed guest.
'I would have bet my last dollar that Chelsea was going to take over the foundation'.
Hillary agreed with Chelsea that Bill's old cronies had to go.
Stepping back from the verbal attack, he let Hillary and Chelsea make changes to the Foundation and he flew off to Africa.
The heart of the Foundation was moved from the Clinton's presidential library in Little Rock to the Time-Life Building in New York City 'where Chelsea could manage it'.
In June 2015, Chelsea got her way when Doug Band resigned.
After skillfully moving in on Bill's adored Clinton Foundation hoping to run it herself, Chelsea wanted to include her husband, Marc Mezvinsky in the family business.
Pregnant with her first child, and writing a book for ages ten to 14, It's Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going, she was now doggedly pressuring her parents to make room in the family foundation for her husband.
Bill and Hillary weren't particularly fond of Marc when Chelsea first brought him home.
He wasn't their 'cup of tea' and he was left out of family get-togethers.
Hillary was always worried about Marc's financials dealings not being 'kosher' and decided to have one of her aides keep an eye on him and report his moves back to her.
They were less than enthusiastic when Chelsea decided that she was going to marry Marc.
'They were uncomfortable with Marc's father's felony conviction and jail sentence'.
They were worried about 'sins of the father' and that the tainted Mezvinsky family name would tarnish Chelsea.
'Bill and Hillary ran as far away as they could from Marc's parents'.
Edward Mezvinsky, Marc's father and a former Iowa congressman, was involved in a number of failed business deals that resulted in a conviction for bank, mail and wire fraud.
He was conned by fraudulent African-based investment schemes and dropped the Clinton name hoping to raise funds.
He was indicted, pleaded guilty to many felony charges, convicted of 31 charges of fraud and served five years in federal prison.
Marc's mother, Marjorie Margolies, once a reporter for Channel 4 in Washington back in the 1970's and 1980's, won a seat in Congress in 1992 from her home state of Pennsylvania.
She lost reelection in 1994 and unsuccessfully ran for Lieutenant Governor in 1998.
She attempted a run for a congressional seat in the 2013 Democratic primary but received no support from the Clintons.
The couple divorced in 2007 and they don't show up in any of Chelsea's wedding pictures.
With Chelsea's pregnancy and the warm, fuzzy idea of becoming grandparents, the chill enveloping Chelsea's husband began to dissipate.
Marc started showing up at the Clinton's home in Chappaqua.
At a dinner in the spring of 2014, Bill put his arm around Marc's shoulder and took him into his office for a little chat.
'They came out looking like best friends, so it was obvious that they had a breakthrough,' writes Klein.
'Marc's name began appearing on Clinton Global Initiative-related things'.
He began meeting with wealthy investors who had close ties to the Clintons including Lloyd C. Blankfein, the CEO of Goldman Sachs as well as hedge-fund manager Marc Lasry, who had contributed heavily to Hillary's 2008 presidential campaign.
After having dinner with Greece's prime minister, Mezvinsky invested millions in Greek bank stocks and Greek debt betting on a turnaround of Greece's economy.
It was disastrous and he lost it all.
'Investing in Greece is stupid', Larry Kudlow, an economist and CNBC senior contributor told Klein.
'Doing it on the basis of a dinner with an ultra-weak prime minister who was a temporary figurehead is even stupider'.
While Chelsea was thrilled to bring Marc into the family fold, she was also jealous of his relationship with her father and doesn't like the way Marc cozies up to her father all the time trying to ingratiate himself.
Inside Chelsea Clinton's $10m 'luxury fortress' that stretches over an entire New York City block - and has one full-time doorman to just four units
Chelsea Clinton's new $10 million pad is New York's longest apartment - stretching an entire block from 26th Street to 27th Street off Madison Avenue.
Described as 'a luxury fortress' with one full-time doorman to the horizontal building's four units, it takes almost 30 seconds to walk the 250-foot hallway, according to New York Daily News.
The former First Daughter, 33, bought the four-bedroom, 5,000-square-foot apartment with her husband Marc Mezvinsky, 35, after putting their nearby $4 million pad on the market earlier this year.

Most of us recognize a WAR CRIMINAL when we see one.....
Henry Kissinger, Hillary Clinton’s Tutor in War and Peace
Clinton just can’t quit him. Even as she is trying to outflank Bernie on his left, Hillary Clinton can’t help but stutter the name of Henry Kissinger.
A trove of secret documents details the US government's global push for shale gas.

Hillary Praises Fracking, Stays Silent on Keystone
At a speech to an environmental advocacy group, Clinton came out in favor of fracking—and ignored the controversial pipeline project.
At a speech to the League of Conservation Voters in midtown Manhattan Monday night, before hundreds of deep-pocketed donors, Hillary Clinton praised the environmental legacy of Teddy Roosevelt, touted the prospect of new green technologies, and had warm words for Barack Obama’s aggressive efforts to combat climate change.
Absent from the former Secretary of State’s speech? Any sense of where she stood on the controversial Keystone pipeline project, or what she would do differently as president to steer the nation towards a more sustainable future.
But that didn’t mean that Clinton wasn’t clear about where she came down on environmental matters—she praised both her husband’s record of cleaning up air and water standards, and the Obama administrations recent efforts to strike a climate deal with China and to toughen pollution standards.
“We continue to push forward. But that is just the beginning. Science of climate change is unforgiving, no matter what the deniers may say,” Clinton said, reading off of prepared remarks.
The former Secretary of State alluded to the need to wean the nation off of fossil fuels, but noted that, “the political challenges are also unforgiving. There is no getting around the fact that the kind of ambitious response required to effectively combat climate change is going to a be a tough sell at home and around the world at a time when so many countries around the world, including our own, are grappling with slow growth and stretch budgets.”
Clinton was vague about the kind of response needed to address climate change, coming down neither in favor of the traditional Democratic carbon tax or the Republican (pre-Obama, at least) cap and trade plan.
Instead, Clinton, much as her husband has done, pushed for market-based solutions to social problems, arguing that green technologies would enable economic growth and would slow the effects of climate change. She called for “next generation” power plants, smarter grids and greener buildings, describing a “false choice between growing our economy and protecting our environment.”
Clinton did, however, come out in favor of natural gas drilling, known as hydrofracking, which has become a key cause for environmental activists, who say that the risks involved in natural gas drilling are not yet known.
“Yes, natural gas can play an important bridge role in the transition to a cleaner, greener economy,” Clinton said, adding that safeguards should be in place to minimize environmental risk.
But if Clinton waded into the natural gas debate, she entirely avoided the Keystone one.
That debate took center stage over the midterms when financier Tom Steyer pledged $100 million to pro-environment candidates and made the pipeline a litmus test. Republicans rallied to the cause, arguing that the pipeline would create jobs. (Nonpartisan experts say that both the pipeline’s negative environmental effects and positive job creation projections are overstated.) Last month, embattled Democrat Mary Landrieu pushed for a vote on Keystone in order to boost her standing in her December run-off re-election. The measure failed in the Senate in a vote that received warm praise from LCV president Gene Karpinski in his introduction of Clinton.
Clinton appeared at a fundraiser for Landrieu earlier in the day.
Karpinski, who said that he was confident that Obama would reject Keystone, said he did not have a problem with Clinton’s support for Landrieu.
“Look, the Clintons and the Landrieu families have been friends going back in history. And all kinds of friends of ours have raised money for Mary Landrieu to support her as a candidate. There is nothing surprising. This is what people do.”
Karpinski wasn’t the only one willing to cut a not-yet-candidate Clinton some leeway. Exiting the hotel ballroom, philanthropist Tom Steyer also seemed to give Clinton a pass for not mentioning the pipeline project.
“I always respect what Secretary Clinton has to say. She is always smart and she is always wise. And I thought she did a great job.”
Asked whether she should have mentioned the pipeline project, he merely said, “I thought her speech was great.”

Chelsea Clinton made an insipid public comment about money not being important to her, married to a Goldman Sachs whatever....when was the last time she went hungry? didn't have enough to pay the rent? was at risk of being homeless?

Green group endorses Hillary Clinton, and feels the Bern
The League of Conservation Voters Action Fund’s endorsement of Hillary Rodham Clinton Monday has prompted a backlash from many of its members, who argue Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) deserved the nod.
The endorsement, which was first reported by The Washington Post, marked the first time in more than three decades that the group had endorsed a presidential candidate before a single primary vote was cast. The group’s board Chairwoman Carol M. Browner, who served as the Environmental Protection Agency administrator under President Clinton and advised President Obama on climate change during his first term, said Hillary Clinton won the endorsement because she was best prepared to advance environmental priorities in office.
“You have to hit the ground running when it comes to tough issues like climate change,” Browner said. “Hillary Clinton gets what it takes to hit the ground running.”
Clinton said the endorsement of a prominent environmental group was not only “incredibly impactful” but would allow her “to start the process of being your partner as we build on the progress that has been made against pretty steep odds, and keep going here at home and around the world.”
“Because after all,” she told a crowd in Derry N.H. “I think we have to use every tool we have. There is no Planet B, this is it.”
Many Clinton stalwarts hailed the announcement: hundreds of people, including former Natural Resources Defense Council President Frances Beinecke, “liked” LCV’s Facebook post outlining its decision. But the move touched off a furor among Sanders supporters, who noted that he had a 95 percent lifetime rating from LCV compared to Clinton’s 82 percent. While the group does not evaluate governors, the third Democratic presidential contender, former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley, received an A-minus rating from LCV’s Maryland affiliate for 2007-2008 and a B-plus for 2009-2011.
Backers of Sanders
posted a slew of comments on Facebook and Twitter, suggesting that the League of Conservation Voters’ federal political action committee had made a politically expedient choice. They noted that Clinton did not come out against the contentious Keystone XL pipeline, which Obama vetoed Friday, until September, while her rivals were early opponents.
Several vowed to withhold future donations to LCV in retaliation for the move and either give the money to other environmental groups, or Sanders himself.
“Bernie is obviously the better choice when it comes to environmental issues!!!!” posted Kimberlee Nelson. “He doesn’t have to think twice when it comes to protecting the environment unlike Hillary. ugh.”
Several environmental bloggers also questioned why a group focused on tackling climate would opt for Clinton over Sanders, who recently co-authored legislation to ban any future coal, oil or gas leasing from federal lands or waters. Brad Johnson tweeted, “Can be considered a climate hawk if she doesn’t support ?”
LCV’s political director Daniel J. Weiss replied that being able to appeal to the political center was as important as being an ideological purist.
Sanders campaign spokesman Michael Briggs, for his part, issued a statement saying his candidate’s “record on the environment is unbeatable.”
“That’s why he was endorsed by Friends of the Earth. That’s why Bill McKibben called him ‘the most aggressive voice in the Senate’ on climate issues,” Briggs added. “That’s why he has a 95 percent lifetime score from the League of Conservation Voters. The league agreed with former Sen. Clinton only 82 percent of the time, so its endorsement is based on something other than the merits.”
In an interview Monday evening, LCV Action Fund President Gene Karpinski said ” it’s not surprising that Senator Sanders’ supporters feel passionately” about their candidate.
“We continue to believe Hillary Clinton is best positioned to be an effective leader, and will be the best president on these issues from Day One,” he added.
In determining its endorsement, according to a statement, the political committee of the League of Conservation Voters’ board of directors reviewed questionnaires and conducted in-person interviews with each “pro-environment candidate” in the presidential race. The committee gave its recommendation to the full board of directors, which approved it.
The new endorsement got the attention of Republicans too: Republican National Committee spokesman Michael Short said it proved a Clinton presidency would undermine America’s economic viability.
“It’s clear Hillary Clinton plans to put ideology ahead of jobs, just like when she opposed the Keystone Pipeline,” Short said. “Too many families are being left behind in the Obama economy, and Hillary Clinton’s anti-energy agenda will only make it harder to raise wages and put more Americans back to work.”
