Ivanka Trump on Eve of Unite the Right 2 Rally: There's 'No Place for White Supremacy' in America

Source: Mediate


by Tamar Auber | Aug 11th, 2018, 9:24 pm

On Saturday, First Daughter Ivanka Trump condemned neo-Nazism in a three-part tweet.

“One year ago in Charlottesville, we witnessed an ugly display of hatred, racism, bigotry & violence,” Ms. Trump wrote.

She added: “While Americans are blessed to live in a nation that protects liberty, freedom of speech and diversity of opinion, there is no place for white supremacy, racism and neo-nazism in our great country.”

Then in a third tweet, she concluded: “Rather than tearing each other down with hatred, racism & violence, we can lift one another up, strengthen our communities and strive to help every American achieve his or her full potential!”

Say something that is politically appropriate, accept public praise, do nothing absolutely nothing about it.

Rinse and repeat.

she and her husband should have resigned their senior adviser to the President positions just as soon as Trump said "good people on both sides" a year ago.

One can't watch the tiki torch parade of racist Nazis chanting that and square it with what Trump said.

I wonder if she denies the holocaust as well?

Don's dad was in the KKK
The largest civil rights case in the history of the DoJ was against Trump properties
And nothing was more racist than Don's birther crap. "Hey boy show me your papers
you don't look like you are from around here."

Taking POC children away from their families and locking them in cages isn't "hatred, racism & violence"?

Any examples of Russian illegal immigrates and their families being treated the same way?

No? Didn't think so.

Lying sack.

First of all, who is she that we should care about her every utterance? I don't recall anyone electing her to anything to represent any of us.

Vapid idiot like the rest of her family.

is a joke. What qualifies her, or any other members of her family, for the positions they hold? Her daddy is a fraud, always has been, always will be. Not too bright, like his "kids" he is low I.Q. He is quick to accuse others of low I.Q., or being low lifes, yet him and his family personify those "qualities". If any of them cared about this country rather than their bank accounts, they would convince their mentally deficient daddy to resign. Ivanka seems to think she is some type of celebrity, one that everyone wants to meet. Foolish woman. Her breathy voice, pauses between every sentence, and come hither looks worked with daddy, but others have her number.

“The truth is, I’ll be exiled there soon.” (everybody sing along!)

Sorry but reading these tweets gave me a mental image of “Ivanka Peron” singing them from the White House balcony to her adoring white privilege audience...

“Rather than tearing each other down with hatred, racism & violence, we can lift one another up, strengthen our communities and strive to help every American achieve his or her full potential!”

"Tearing each other down"? Sounds a lot like the "both sides" do it. Does she really think that protesting a Neo Nazi rally foisted on to a community to bear is equally "tearing down"?

And good luck with your admonishments to your white supremacist brothers and sisters to "lift one another up, and help every American achieve their potential (even the brown and Jewish ones)

She was a back-up hostess at a luncheon at the W House for a lot of women (maybe the Gold Star mothers) hosted by Melanie. Everyone invited was white. This was a sharp contrast to the same event when Michelle Obama hosted it.

You're garbage, same as your father.

You're doing now what you have done since birth - ride in on your father's name.

You're using his coattails, shabby and trashy though they are, same as you have always done - to get something for yourself.

Now you're using his name, the office he disgraces, and the position he should not hold, to boost your own political "brand".

But the thing is - your brand is his brand. Always has been. Always will be.

You are only known because your father is known.

The two of you can't be separated. You and your father are the same.

So, stop. Stop pretending otherwise because no one with a working brain is buying it.
