chelsea clinton defends barron trump unimpeachable right privacy SOURCE: MEGA Chelsea Clinton was scrutinized as a kid when her dad was in office.

During a recent appearance on The View, the former first daughter, now 44 years old, addressed the ongoing debate on how the media should cover former President Donald Trump's son.

Chelsea's involvement in this discussion stems from her own past as a presidential child.

At only 12 years old, she became the first daughter when her father, Bill Clinton, took office as the 42nd president of the United States. Chelsea's transition into adulthood under the public eye was met with a lot of scrutiny and controversy at the time.

Article continues below advertisement The View host Ana Navarro asked Chelsea what she thought about the fact that some people in the media have said Barron, who rarely steps into the spotlight, is officially "fair game" to criticize since he's "no longer a child."

The former first daughter answered, "I think he’s a private citizen. I feel so strongly that if you are a private citizen, you have an unimpeachable right to privacy, and I think the media should leave him alone."

Good for Chelsea Clinton. Obama’s daughters need to step up to the plate too. Let’s safeguard all the kids until they’re out of college.

Amy Carter was really the first kid to be in the press. They got the message and backed off.

In case she runs, she is 44 years old—a year older than John F. Kennedy as he was sworn in as President.

AOC will turn 35 around a month before she is sworn in.

They are all forgetting one factor.
The American people no longer have any class.

No.
About AOC, though, I remember a sidekick for the talk radio guy Joe Pags (Pagliarulo). He was in his early twenties and Pags asked him what gives with AOC. Although a definite conservative, the young guy defended the idea that no one listens to anyone young any longer and no one takes them seriously but AOC has strong appeal because she is the only one of her age group allowed to be quoted anywhere. Pags tried to suppress him and beat him down verbally but the guy stick to his guns.

In the 60s you could name 50 young people including music and movie stars who spoke up or spoke to big rallies at the microphone. Not today.

Barron doesn’t speak out publically about anything. Of course he should be left alone. The kid never seeks any limelight ever.

Ummm Chelsea, people don’t have a right to privacy from the media. Let the classless buffoons make fun about Barron.

If these ‘kids’ are never in politics why encroach on their private lives?

Tricia and Julie Nixon were huge when it came to media coverage. Pre-Amy Carter.

This defense of Barron Trump is based strictly on trying to deflect the fact that the “fair game” comment was made by a pedophilic homosexual and was purely sexual in nature, not political. Clever move by the left to protect pedo queers.
