This dude woke up at 645 AM and the first thing he did was tweet this. What a creepy freak. https://t.co/PX0Thppy1g

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

In an interview with Newsweek, Sington explained his post, saying, “I posted he was ‘fair game’ now, meaning, as an adult, he’s ‘fair game’ for criticism from the press.”
“Someone pointed out to me ‘fair game’ could mean fair game to be harmed. I don’t wish physical harm on anyone, so I took it down. I listen to the comments and criticism I receive,” he added.
