Philippine leader Rodrigo Duterte angrily hit back Wednesday at Chelsea Clinton for criticizing remarks he made about rape, using vulgar language while referring to her father's infidelities as American president. 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.

Philippine leader Rodrigo Duterte has denounced Chelsea Clinton as he tries to defend a 'joke' he made about his troops raping women.
The controversial president - who has overseen the murder of thousands of drug users and has now declared martial law as he fights an ISIS insurgency - used Clinton's father's affair with Monica Lewinsky to attack the former first daughter.
Chelsea has joined a chorus of condemnation of Duterte's remark that his soldiers could rape up to three women each and he would 'take responsibility' after declaring martial law in the city of Marawi.
Duterte said on Tuesday: '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.
'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?'
The former first daughter had tweeted 'Not funny. Ever' in reaction to the news of Duterte's remarks on rape.
In a second post she wrote: 'Duterte is a murderous thug with no regard for human rights. It's important to keep pointing that out and that rape is never a joke.'
Duterte's troops are locked in battle with ISIS fighters in the city of Marawi in the south of the country.

Amidst the fighting that has forced 50,000 people to flee, teenage ISIS fighters are said to be shooting people dead for failing to quote the Koran.
Duterte declared martial law across the entire southern region of Mindanao last week, home to roughly 20 million people, in response to the crisis as he warned that local militant groups were uniting behind ISIS and becoming a major security threat.
Shortly after declaring martial law, he told his troops in a speech: ' 'For this martial law and the consequences of martial law and the ramifications of martial law, I and I alone would be responsible.
'Just do your work. I will handle the rest. I will be imprisoned for you. If you rape three (women), I will say that I did it.'

Chelsea Clinton condemned his remarks with a tweet that said 'Not funny. Ever'. Duterte hit back: when your father, the president of the United States, was f***ing Lewinsky and the girls in the White House, how did you feel?

That remark was met with widespread condemnation, and on Wednesday Duterte tried to defend himself.
At the end of a long speech to naval officers and their families, Duterte said he was just being sarcastic as he took aim at people who criticized his rape remarks but particularly Clinton.
He then accused American soldiers of raping women in the Philippines and Japan, without giving details, before returning to Clinton.
'It is a crime actually committed by soldiers, mostly Americans in Okinawa,' he said, referring to several rape cases involving U.S. servicemen stationed in Japan, most recently last year.
"But, we never heard of a Filipino. But I am just warning them that anything they do, I have to answer for it. I take full responsibility for your foolishness. I speak sarcastically."
'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?'
It was not the first time Duterte has made a joke about rape.
He caused outrage in the lead-up to his presidential election win last year when he recalled a 1989 prison riot in which an Australian missionary was killed, and inmates had lined up to rape her.
In what was intended as a joke, Duterte said the victim was "beautiful" and as mayor of Davao city where the riot took place, he should have been first in line. He later apologized and said he meant no disrespect to women or rape victims.
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.

[h=3]ISIS plan to burn a city[/h]General Eduardo Ano, the military chief, said extremists had plotted to set Marawi ablaze entirely to project ISIS' influence.
The extremists wanted to kill Christians in nearby Iligan city on Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting, to mimic the violence seen by the world in Syria and Iraq, Ano said.
Southeast Asian fighters fleeing the Middle East 'could look to Mindanao to provide temporary refuge as they work their way home,' said a report late last year by the Jakarta-based Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict, predicting a high risk of regional violence.
Marawi is regarded as the heartland of the Islamic faith on Mindanao island.

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 criticizing the drug war.

Memo to Chelsea....
Keep your indignation to yourself. It might come back to bite you on your ass.

Duterte's a fucking creep and an idiot. Hope not to hear any of the same about his soldiers.

ayuh....if today's headline themes are "defending the comments I made about my employees raping women", you are probably beyond redemption and should just stop talking
