Philippine leader Rodrigo Duterte angrily hit back Wednesday at Chelsea Clinton for criticising remarks he made about rape by aggressively asking her what her reaction was when her father's alleged affair with Monica Lewinsky was unveiled. Duterte on Friday told soldiers they could rape up to three women, in a speech aimed at reassuring them of his full support as they enforced his newly imposed martial law on the south of the Philippines. 'Not funny. Ever,' wrote the daughter of ex-US president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton on her Twitter account in reaction to the news.

It's important to keep pointing that out and that rape is never a joke.' At the end of a long speech to naval officers and their families on Wednesday, Duterte said he was just being sarcastic as he took aim at people who criticised his rape remarks but particularly Clinton. 'These whores, they hear "rape". Like, like Chelsea, she slammed me. I was not joking, I was being sarcastic. Listen to the speech. I do not laugh at my own jokes,' said Duterte, 72. 'I will tell her, when your father, the president of the United States, was f***ing Lewinsky and the girls in the White House, how did you feel? Did you slam your father?' Duterte was referring to Bill Clinton's acknowledged affair with a White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. Duterte then accused American soldiers of raping women in the Philippines and Japan, without giving details, before returning to Clinton. 'You Americans, like Chelsea, be careful because you live in a glass house,' he said. 'I repeat, when President Clinton was fucking Lewinsky, what was your statement or your reaction?'

The Australian and American ambassadors to Manila voiced their disapproval at those comments, but Duterte reacted furiously then while insisting he had been taken out of context. Duterte also frequently launches obscenity-filled tirades against critics of his drug war, which has seen thousands of people killed and led to warnings from rights groups that he may be orchestrating a crime against humanity. Duterte last year called then US president Barack Obama a 'son of a whore' for criticising the drug war.

The same as her mother's. She ignored it.
I would enjoy it if Duterte got into an international pissing match with the Xlinton mafia.
I'm starting to love Duterte. He reminds me of me.
I'm conflicted. I really don't like being on duterte's side but the alternative is unacceptable.
Does that include your father does it and your mother jokes, "He's a hard dog to keep on the porch."
