In our example, what we may safely infer is that republicans believe they have a right to criticize Hillary Clinton for having health issues, be they real or alleged. Democrats may consider her treatment (she was accused of suffering “brain injury”, for instance) unfair, dirty, groundless and uncalled for, but Republicans say she deserves it – anyone who wants to run for President of the United States of America should expect to go through this kind of personal scrutiny.
It’s up to you to decide whether you agree with Republicans or sympathize with Mrs. Clinton. Personally I feel bad for Clinton as a woman but on the other hand I think she probably deserves this. In a way, it serves her right – I can’t stop seeing it as a form of punishment for anyone seeking fame and high office.
Anyways, it doesn’t matter. Here, let’s focus on the phrase and go on to read a few media examples of people who are considered fair game – legitimate target for attack, criticism, ridicule, mockery, etc.:
1. For the first time in court, a former member of the Mexican Mafia has admitted that Edward James Olmos was targeted by the prison gang known as “Eme” after the actor-director portrayed the group in a bad light in his 1992 film American Me.
Ernest “Chuco” Castro testified Wednesday that he told fellow gangsters that Olmos was “fair game” during a 1994 meeting, confirming government allegations that the Eme singled out Olmos, the Los Angeles Times reported. But under defense cross-examination, Castro denied his words advocated violence against the activist actor.
