Merriam-Webster Defines Complicit So Ivanka Trump Doesnt Have To
In a new interview, Ivanka said she doesn’t “know what it means to be complicit.”
Ivanka Trump said she didn’t know what the word “complicit” meant, so hero dictionary Merriam-Webster came to the rescue.
The word “complicit” began trending (again) after Ivanka told CBS News’ Gayle King: “I don’t know that the critics who may say that of me, if they found themselves in this very unique and unprecedented situation that I am now in, would do any differently than I’m doing. So I hope to make a positive impact. I don’t know what it means to be complicit, but, you know, I hope time will prove that I have done a good job and much more importantly, that my father’s administration is the success that I know it will be.”

Merriam-Webster defines “complicit” as “helping to commit a crime or do wrong in some way.”
This definition makes it less likely that Ivanka’s interpretation of the word, issued during her first interview since taking on an official role in the White House, is in any way accurate: “If being complicit is wanting to be a force for good and to make a positive impact, then I’m complicit.”
Very clearly, that is not what complicit means.
