Clinton White House was a family affair, too

It never ends, all the criticism of President Donald Trump! Now he is being criticized for letting his daughter, Ivanka, do pro bono work in the White House.

Does anyone remember Hillary Clinton’s infamous trip to Bosnia, when she said that she arrived in her State Department jet under fire? In trying to verify this claim (which proved to be a lie) the media showed her plane arriving, and it was not under fire.

But when she got off the plane, who was standing at her shoulder? It was her daughter, Chelsea! Was she doing pro bono work for the State Department, was she being paid to accompany her mother on government business? Or was she just along for the ride, enjoying world travel in a government jet at taxpayers’ expense?

What about Hillary’s involvement in Bill Clinton’s presidency? Who protested over that?

Just wondering.
