AceShowbiz - Chelsea Clinton is facing backlash following her attempt to defend Barron Trump% from cyberbullies who criticized his behavior throughout Friday's presidential inauguration. The former First Daughter took to Facebook to speak up for the youngest son of President Donald Trump, but she also immediately became the target of internet bullies after her statement turned into a political attack on his dad.

Chelsea, who spent much of her teen years in the spotlight when her father Bill Clinton was president, wrote in the Sunday, January 22 post, "Barron Trump deserves the chance every child does-to be a kid." The longtime friend of Ivanka Trump added, "Standing up for every kid also means opposing POTUS policies that hurt kids."

Her post drew criticism from many Facebook users, branding her hypocrite for defending Barron while also denouncing the U.S. president's policies. One user wrote in the comment section, "If you agree kids should not be targeted fine. Leave it at that. Otherwise collect your $600k a year and go away."

"I haven't seen any policies that hurt kids yet," another user said. "So, why is that in this discussion? If you know something I don't, please inform me. And yes, kids and family are off limits. None of our business." Gina Wareham commented, "This seems very half-hearted to me. Are you standing up for this child, or are you using it as an opportunity to make a political point?"

Some other users came to Chelsea's defense for speaking up, though. "Chelsea, thank you for being classy like your mama, HRC. I love that you are advocating for all children," one of her fans wrote. "We know that the public doesn't always remember the children of the public figures as deserving of privacy. We all remember the haters who went after you, the Bush twins and the Obama girls."

"Do not let us repeat the cycle," she added. "Call the POTUS out on all his lies and bad policies but leave the child alone.....only Baron I am speaking about here. The adult children are already swimming in the c**p and are fair game for criticism just like the father."

"Why can't people just thank Chelsea for standing up for Barron and all children of our country without bringing in her mom, dad, Bernie, Trump and other unrelated things into this conversation," Cynthia Medina said. "Jeez its embarrassing. This message is about standing up for our children no matter what party you belong to. Thank you Chelsea Clinton for your grace and for setting an example."
