The first time she was asked about her mother 's handling of the Lewinsky scandal at a campaign stop Clinton responded , " I do not think that is any of your business . " As she became a more experienced campaigner , she refined her responses and deflected questions on the issue with comments such as , " If that 's what you want to vote on , that 's what you should vote on . But I think there are other people who are going to vote on things like healthcare and economics . " At the 2008 Democratic National Convention , Chelsea called Hillary " my hero and my mother " and introduced her with a long video tribute . As she did in 2008 , Clinton again took an active part in her mother 's presidential campaign in 2016 , expanding her role as surrogate at more than 200 public events across the country , including and beyond college campuses . In July 2016 , she introduced her mother at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia , in a personal , emotional tribute recalling her own upbringing and describing her mother 's commitment to issues and to public service
