Chelsea's set piece not true


Remember that set piece that Chelsea Clinton told last week?

During her visits to the Young Democrats convention, N.C. State and Peace College, the former first daughter told a moving story of a pregnant Ohio woman who died because the hospital would not admit her.

As it turns out, Hillary Clinton has told the same story on the campaign trail. And the hospital in question — O'Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, Ohio — has told the New York Times it is not accurate.

"We implore the Clinton campaign to immediately desist from repeating this story," hospital CEO Rick Castrop told the paper. He said the woman was not denied care.

The Times' recounting of Hillary's version of the anecdote sounds almost word-for-word the same as Chelsea's.
