In April 2012, Childers created controversy with a post on her Twitter account. In the post, Childers linked to an article from www.godfatherpolitics.com which was titled "Did Obama Campaign Threaten Chelsea Clinton's Life?" The article intimated that Barack Obama was trying to silence the Clinton family on the truth behind Obama's birth certificate. In response to criticism of the tweet, Childers said that she was "asking for opinion."
