This is a common meme I keep seeing in comments about this incident.
Chelsea is helping her mom by calling superdelegates. From what I have heard, she asks the people she calls if they have any questions or concerns she can address. Most people have recognized that this is not inappropriate or unusual for the adult child of a politician.
But I keep hearing the idea that somehow her participation makes her fair game for comments and jokes. Shuster's letter suggest that he was miffed because Chelsea won't do interviews or talk to the press.
But why should she? She is not obligated to talk to them. Even if the fact that she is helping her mom is news, it doesn't give the press the right to invade her privacy.
