Ivanka Trump condemned recent media coverage of Malia Obama's social life at Harvard, where Obama is a freshman. The former first daughter Chelsea Clinton also called the coverage unethical "clickbait."
Ivanka Trump, the president's eldest daughter and top White House adviser, condemned recent media coverage of former President Barack Obama's eldest daughter, Malia Obama, a 19-year-old freshman at Harvard.
"Malia Obama should be allowed the same privacy as her school aged peers," Trump tweeted on Friday. "She is a young adult and private citizen, and should be OFF limits."
Shortly after, another former first daughter, Chelsea Clinton, tweeted a similar sentiment.
"Malia Obama's private life, as a young woman, a college student, a private citizen, should not be your clickbait," Clinton wrote. "Be better."
Over the past week, videos of Malia Obama smoking and kissing another Harvard student at a football game went viral.
Trump and Clinton are both intimately acquainted with invasive tabloid coverage, both as residents of the White House and as the children of fathers whose high-profile personal lives have been the subject of endless media scrutiny.
Clinton has also spoken out against media criticism of a child of the current president.
First lady Melania Trump thanked Clinton for her defense of her son and called the media coverage a form of cyberbullying.

Get high is what you did? I guess I am too old.
She's only nineteen. If I lived my nineteenth year under a media microscope it would have been embarrassing too. Not sure what I think about this....
Malia is a college freshman living her life - she is not a public figure, she has no role in government, she has never made any public statements of any kind that I’m aware of. If Barron Trump should be out-of-bounds (and he should be), then so should Obama’s kids.
I have no idea what point you are trying to make.
I have no idea what point you are trying to make.
I think you do.
If she’s over 18, she isn’t off limits. What the hell... does being an ex president’s kid inoculate a person from everything he/she might do in the future?
That’s like the ‘Rats saying Hillary never can be prosecuted by the Trump administration, no matter how horrendous the crime, just because she was his opponent.
Neither is logical.
Youre kidding right? Their kids ARE NOT public figures by choice but due to their outspoken parents. You feel free to trash non public young ladies till your hearts content and see how far your future hatred gets you in winning over people to your side.
They are off limits. Its classless, contemptible and sickening to think its ok to trash the kids of a former president for simply disagreeing with the parents position
I am only interested in what the Mooch has to say about her having a honkey boyfriend.
Boyfriend is another name for “dealer” nowadays.
I wonder if she even knows who her bio parents are.
Don’t care what Malia is doing, and I don’t care what Ivanka has to say about anything.
These posts of her kissing, smoking or dancing are ridiculous. Let me know if her parents try to boost her political ambitions or she decides to get political. Before that I couldn’t care less and I find this obsession with her by conservatives here to be disgusting.
Me too.
Are Obama’s daughters more liberal than Bush’s daughers? I doubt it. But we can only guess, because Bush’s daughters are open and public with their liberalism. Obama’s daughters don’t make public statements that I know of. So everything else being equal, I like Obama’s daughters more than Bush’s.

“You feel free to trash non public young ladies till your hearts content and see how far your future hatred gets you in winning over people to your side.”
1. I feel free to “trash” anyone, non-public or otherwise, if they’re behaving badly, smoking pot, or whatever. Do the right thing, and there’s no fodder for criticism. Easy.
2. I’m not trying to win over people to my side. I don’t actually give a crap.
3. How’s that cubicle there in the Obama/Jarrett basement?
I agree. Lay off of Malaria. She’s had it rough growing up with 2 daddies.
Malia is an adult whos making a public fool of herself.
Ivanka, whos BFFs with Chelsea.
(And would have voted for hitlery if daddy hadn't been nominated for President. Although, Ivanka said she didn't vote last November.)
yep, looks “private” to me.
STFU Ivanka!!
