Huh? Being 18 makes a public official's kid open to criticism? Since when? When has 18 ever been the rule for criticizing the child of a famous person, esp when said child stays out of the spotlight? Or is this a statutory thing? Because it sure sounds like a statutory thing. https://t.co/VsVZeuqedc
