    Chelsea Clinton got it pretty hard for years also.

    I had to look up if GWB had kids or not. Both daughters got involved in the campaign a bit, and now I recognize the one from various TV stuff too. I don’t remember much said about them at the time.

    The grown up Trump children get blasted, but they are all welllll into adulthood regardless of what their defenders say, and they are actively involved in all the political BS, so they are fair game for criticism.

      GWB daughters liked to party, so they got some airtime for being drunk and whatnot, but not political flack.

      The grown-up Trump kids were also working at the White House and appearing in media and in political meetings of all kinds, on behalf of the Trump administration. As soon as that happens, the familial relationship is irrelevant to the coverage and disclosure requirements. Any shield of “oh, not family members” is subsumed wholly by the public interest in open government and a free press.

      If family members fuck off out of politics and keep their mouths shut, they’d mostly get left alone, except for the most conspiratorial weirdos on the right.
