Chelsea Clinton defended Barron Trump on Friday, saying he is a private citizen and not involved in politics and should be left alone.
Asked on ABC’s “The View” how the media should report on former President Trump’s son after he turned 18 this week, Clinton said she had “an impeccable privacy policy.” He claimed that he had no right to do so.
“Yesterday, Barron Trump turned 18. There was a discussion on social media, and I saw it on TV, where some people said, ‘Okay, he’s an adult, he’s 18, he’s already. He’s not a kid anymore.” He’s stayed out of the spotlight for the most part. He’s very different from his brothers because he’s not involved,” and “The View.” ” co-host Ana Navarro said, then asked Clinton, “What do you think about that?”
Clinton fired back, saying the media should “leave him alone.”
“I think he’s a civilian,” she answered. “I feel very strongly that if you are a civilian, you have an impeccable right to privacy. I think the media should leave him alone.”
Navarro’s investigation comes after former NBC senior Mike Sington sparked controversy with a post on X (formerly Twitter). Sinton said, “Barron Trump turns 18 today. He’s fair game now.”
Sinton explained his now-deleted post: Statement to Newsweek“I just posted that he’s ‘fair game.’ I mean, as an adult, he’s ‘fair game’ for criticism from the press.”
“When someone points out to me ‘fair game,’ it could mean that fair game is compromised,” he said. “I removed it because I don’t want to physically harm anyone. I listen to the comments and criticisms I receive.”
After Clinton responded to Navarro, co-host Joy Behar said the same applies to Trump’s other children, Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. I asked.
Clinton said it was a “completely different conversation” because the three were at one point “campaign surrogates” for her father, who is considered the Republican presidential nominee.
