nypost.comBut her letters.Former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Julia Sweeney revealed Wednesday that Hillary Clinton once sent a letter to the producer of the show expressing disapproval over the portrayal of her teenage daughter, Chelsea.Sweeney, 63, made the startling revelation on the “Fly on the Wall” podcast after co-host David Spade, 59, recalled the 1993 skit where the actress portrayed the former First Daughter and how it “rubbed somebody wrong.” “Yeah, Hillary,” responded Sweeney, adding that the former presidential candidate complained about the skit.
The contents of Clinton’s letter were not shared on the podcast. The scene, entitled “Inaugural Ball,” aired shortly after Bill Clinton’s election as US president.
