'Let Malia live': Chelsea Clinton, Ivanka Trump defend Malia Obama

Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka Trump are condemning recent tabloid coverage of President Barack Obama's eldest daughter Malia, saying the college student deserves privacy and ought to be "OFF limits."

Conservative media outlets have circulated reports on videos that they claim show Malia kissing a young man before a football game and blowing smoke rings.

Chelsea Clinton tweeted: "Malia Obama’s private life, as a young woman, a college student, a private citizen, should not be your clickbait. Be better."

Ivanka Trump tweeted: "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."

Rapper-actor Common also chimed in, "Let Malia live."

The former first daughter is a first-year student at Harvard University. Malia Obama took a gap year after graduating high school in 2016, in what the Obamas said was an effort to start college without the distraction of her father in the White House.

The informal society of presidential children has historically been protective of its youngest members, without regard for political party.
