    As a european its always strange to see how Americans drag the whole family into politics. I still don’t know if Angela Merkel has any children and she was chancellor for 16 years

      It was a red line that even most Republicans didn’t cross (except scum like Rush Limbaugh) until we had the gall to elect a black president. Then the kids became fair game.

          Yeah, they were pretty monstrous and hateful to Chelsea. Of course it’s only ever Republicans who do this, because it’s the party of terrible human beings.

          The politicians didn’t, at least publicly. OP did include the qualifier “except scum like Rush” and that’s who immediately springs to mind when someone brings up Chelsea being trashed.
