For most of Barron Trump's life, efforts have been made to shield him from the same level of public scrutiny experienced by his parents — Donald and Melania Trump — but after just turning 18, there are already rumblings on social media and elsewhere referring to him as "fair game" in terms of press coverage. And Chelsea Clinton doesn't think that's fair.
Having been pummeled by the media herself while her parents — Bill and Hillary Clinton — were in the White House, Clinton has quite a bit of experience when it comes to vitriol by association. In an appearance on "The View" this week, she came to Barron's defense, advocating for his right to privacy, saying, "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."
In response to host Joy Behar asking, "What about the other ones?" Clinton said that it's different when it comes to Barron's older siblings, who have served in the administration in one capacity or another.
"They put themselves in the public domain," she said. "It's a totally different conversation."
