The (former) first daughter has spoken. Chelsea Clinton defended Barron Trump while advising her Twitter followers to stand up to his father, Donald.
"Barron Trump deserves the chance every child does-to be a kid," the 36-year-old daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tweeted on Sunday, January 22. "Standing up for every kid also means opposing @POTUS policies that hurt kids."
Chelsea's comments appeared to be in response to the internet trolls who made jokes about Barron, 10, during the former reality TV star's inauguration on Friday, January 20. Several people were attacked on social media for "cyberbullying" the young child and his demeanor.
Modern Family actress Julie Bowen was one of the celebrities criticized for her comments about Barron. Throughout the inauguration ceremony, she posted Instagram pictures of Donald and first lady Melania's son looking down at the floor and holding his head in his hands. "Barron, a voting majority shares your horror," she jokingly captioned one post, much to fans' disapproval.

"Just because you don't like his dad, don't poke fun at the kid," one critic wrote to Bowen, 46, who later defended herself on Twitter, writing, "I love that Barron is just being a kid. My kids would be a horror show at a public event! Just trying to keep it light."

Twitter users also slammed Chelsea for her post. "Your mother lost. We don't want her nonsense in our nations politics," one user wrote. Others came to Chelsea's defense, pointing out the commander in chief's potentially dangerous policy agendas, including his controversial decision to nominate Betsy DeVos as secretary of Education and attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. "Getting rid of public schools, #ACA, & destroying the environment isn't good at all," one Twitter user noted.
Yeah Chelsea, your mother and ‘father’ sure hurt your chances of becoming anything in life...
I do in some little way feel sorry for Chelsea, she didn’t have a say in what her mother and ‘father’ would be when she was born...
Chelsea, exactly which of President Trump’s policies will hurt kids - certainly not discouraging abortion unlike your mother who supports baby murder.
Put a sock in it Chelsea. No one wants anymore from you immoral power hungry crooked Clintons.
Your father was really good for young women, Chelsea. Just ask Monica.
Monica’s life has been much more difficult because her filthy father took advantage of a young woman.
That’s Webb Hubbell’s kid.
Be quiet, Chelsea Hubbell.
“I do in some little way feel sorry for Chelsea, she didn’t have a say in what her mother and ‘father’ would be when she was born...”
Don’t. She’s an adult and fully accountable for her own actions.
Who’s your daddy?
Monica’s dad is a radiologist who was working in our little town in SoCal. I remember reading he received a fundraising letter from the Clintons after Bill and Monica’s sex scandal. He wrote on it.....’you have got to be kidding’. I actually felt sorry for Monica, she really was too young and immature to be making the decisions that she made. I felt sorry for her parents, too. They had no say in the matter. But Bill, Hill and Chelsea??? Never wasted a minute feeling sorry for any of them. The Left had better back off Barron or they will be looking at waaaaaay more losses than they have already been dealt.
Can she just shut up and make me a sandwich?
Those guys who died in Benghazi- were someone’s kids
Yes, Chelsea, every child deserves to be a kid including those in utero.

Your father would be so proud of you, Chelsea.
Too bad ole Webb isn’t here to tell you so.
Why does the column say “...Chelsea AND Hillary... defended Barron”, and yet there is no sign of a comment from Hillary?
CGI protects all children over 10.
The only thing worse than being all wrong is being half right, and CC was half right. If she had kept her tweet to the first twelve words, it would have been a laudatory act.
Couldn’t she just stand up for him without taking a swipe at his father?
Chelsea: Barron, don’t be sad. It’s not your fault your daddy’s a POS.
Yeah, thanks for nothing. Stupid cow.
Chelsea understands what it’s like to be the president’s child. She may be wrong about everything else, but she does understand that.
