Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton defend Malia Obama over smoking video

First Daughter of the United States Ivanka Trump and former First Lady of the United States Hilary Clinton's daughter Chelsea defend Malia Obama's private life. Trump and Clinton speak out in defense of former President Barack Obama's eldest daughter, Malia, after a video of her smoking surfaced online.

The video showing Malia smoking was uploaded on Instagram and was later deleted. Several people were able to see the video and uploaded it on other websites. The video caused a stir among the public with most people commending Malia of her cool attitude. Several people also poked fun of the video and there are also those who defended the 19-year-old girl.

U.S. President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka also came to her defense and said that Malia's private activities are to be kept from the public and should not be a center of controversy. Ivanka 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."

Trump is not alone in backing Malia as Chelse Clinton also defended the Harvard University student through Twitter. "Malia Obama's private life, as a young woman, a college student, a private citizen, should not be your clickbait. Be better," Clinton wrote.

There are no comments so far from former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle about their daughter's smoking video.

Earlier in August, a video of Malia dancing at Lollapalooza was uploaded by TMZ. The short clip shows Malia running around and rolling in the ground during a rock and roll performance. Many netizens defended Malia and urged others to respect her private life despite being a daughter of a former president.

Just recently, a video of Malia kissing a young man went viral on the internet. The video was captured last Saturday, during the annual football match between Harvard University and Yale University.
