Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton have stuck up for another first daughter, Malia Obama, after a video of former President Barack Obama’s eldest daughter blowing smoke rings stirred controversy online.

Malia was also recently photographed kissing a Harvard fan at a tailgate party before a football game against Yale, The New York Daily News reported.

President Trump’s eldest daughter 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.”

Clinton, the daughter of former President Clinton, followed less than an hour later with her own tweet urging privacy for Malia Obama.

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

A video went viral showing Malia — 19-year-old Harvard University Student — blowing smoke rings.

She has been somewhat of a media fascination since she turned 18. Photos of her smoking at last year's Lollapalooza music festival sparked speculation as to what she could be inhaling. An evening stroll with platonic friend Rob Franklin earlier this year caused gossip website TMZ to wonder who her “mystery man” could be.

Chelsea Clinton earlier this year criticised the Daily Caller for a piece it published in August that was critical of Trump's youngest son Barron.
