It comes as no surprise that hardly anyone in the Trump family is immune to criticism from the public, and that includes First Daughter and White House advisor Ivanka Trump. Trump recently slammed the pundits who appeared on CNN and made fun of Trump supporters.
Two panelists Wajahat Ali and Rick Wilson appeared on CNN Tonight recently, and the two of them imitated what a Trump supporter what might think or sound like. However, Ivanka was not happy with their depiction of Trump supporters and took to Twitter to express her thoughts. She wrote, “You consistently make fun of half the country and then complain that it is divided. The arrogance, mocking accents, and smug ridicule of this nation’s “Real Elites” is disgusting.”
Her rant did not go unnoticed on social media as many criticized her for it as well, calling her “Nepotism Barbie.” One commenter said that the real elites should also really qualify for “real security clearances,” while others wondered why she still works at the White House. One also replied to her with a map showing red and blue dots, referring to the Republicans and Democrats all over the country saying, “Nepotism Barbie can’t count 62 million isn’t half of 332 million” referring to the number of Republicans in the country.
There were even commenters who pointed out the irony of the situation, given that her father Donald Trump is known for slamming his critics and resorting to name-calling on a regular basis. Some also said that she should have not spoken up as the backlash would be worse on her.
Among those who would also call her out on her comment was Rick Wilson. The Guardian reports that Wilson responded to Ivanka’s rant, and said to the outlet, “Her hypocrisy is breathtaking. She went to Chapin and never worked for anyone not called Daddy.”
Chapin is an exclusive all-girls school in Manhattan. After graduating college, Ivanka joined the Trump Organization and appeared alongside her father on seasons of “The Apprentice.” Upon her father’s winning of the 2016 elections, she was made White House advisor, who also accompanies him to presidential events, including the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
