Ivanka Trump, Chelsea Clinton tear into media for coverage of Malia Obama

Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton lashed out at the media Friday, united in their distaste for recent press coverage of Malia Obama.

“Malia Obama should be allowed the same privacy as her school aged peers. She is a young adult and private citizen, and should be OFF limits,” current first daughter Ivanka Trump wrote on Twitter Friday.


Clinton, the only child of former President Bill Clinton and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, implored news organizations to “be better.”

“Malia Obama’s private life, as a young woman, a college student, a private citizen, should not be your clickbait. Be better,” she tweeted.


Obama, 19, made tabloid headlines twice in the past week.

On Friday, a video went viral of a young woman resembling former President Barack Obama’s eldest daughter blowing smoke rings.

Earlier, the Harvard University freshman was photographed kissing a fellow Crimson fan at a tailgate prior to a football game against Yale University.

This is not the first time Chelsea Clinton has leapt to the defense of first children.

She previously upbraided the Daily Caller for an opinion piece it published in August chastising President Trump’s youngest son Barron Trump for the way he dressed.
