But you can compare to chelsea to ivanka... stay with me now.

OF COURSE we (ie, our side) do NOT see them as same (although I still remember they were good friends at one point).

The Right would come up with something to paint it in a way we paint ivanka. saying it is a false equivalency is true from only our point view and possibly some independents.

So, yes it is bad optics, and I certainly don't want an unhinged right winger accosting Chelsea with her child in the plane due to her involvement in the Clinton foundation. It just looks bad.
