Carefull reading spared some of us who are inclined to agree with that sentiment.

Earlier this week, you probably saw a story about Chelsea Clinton receiving a lifetime achievement award. The Hill ran it with some dubious language, and many people missed the fact that it was an award from “Lifetime” the television network. Failing to capitalize the “L” led to a firestorm about privilege, and how a woman who has achieved virtually nothing could be granted and award for her non-existent achievements.

Now, however, we’re being treated to the opposite argument - one we’ve heard all too often. Like her mother before her, Chelsea Clinton is a victim. “Just like Hillary,” she can never catch a break. Everyone ignores her greatness, her largesse, and her status as the ‘next big thing’ in favor of beating her down.

If you’re unfamiliar with Bari Lurie, she’s Chelsea Clinton’s “chief of staff.” Why does Chelsea Clinton need a chief of staff? I have no idea.

The LA Times article she shared is largely an acknowledgement of the idea that Chelsea is - thanks to her last name - headed for a turn in the political spotlight. Its centerpiece is the idea that she’s just like dear old mom: a perpetual victim.

When it comes to accepting prizes for charitable contributions, Chelsea is in no way an outlier. Everyone in her income bracket has a shelf full of honors. Luncheon ceremonies are a way to publicly thank big-name benefactors, get them to show up to the event, and therefore attract other donors and media interest. Ivanka Trump, for example — just picking someone at random here — is no stranger to vanity awards. She has been honored by organizations such as the European School of Economics and the Diamond Empowerment Fund’s GOOD Awards. (Tagline: “Diamonds do good.”) But Chelsea, like her mother, never gets a break — unlike Ivanka and her father. The “Lifetime achievement” mistake was an error of capitalization that became a convenient Internet cudgel at a time when Democrats are focused on resistance, uneasy about class politics, and searching for the next generation of leaders. Meanwhile, in the real world, the Trump administration announced that Ivanka would be getting her own White House office and high-level security clearance — despite her father’s insistence that none of his children would enjoy such privileges after his election. Nepotism is a charge that the Trumps find easy to circumnavigate. Not so for the Clintons.

Hear that? Donald and Ivanka are being given a break. I’m not sure where this break is coming from, since the daily political drumbeat is one of absolute media hatred tageting their careers and brands but, apparently, there’s a break out there somewhere.
