Ivanka Trump Just Got Eviscerated for Her Tweet About Recent Shootings, ‘Like Father, Like Daughter’
Ivanka Trump has joined the chorus of voices expressing heartbreak over the deadly mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio this weekend, with at least 29 people being reported killed.
Oh course considering who her father is, her voice is seen as very hollow.
On Sunday morning, the first daughter and senior White House adviser sent a tweet blasting the “heinous and cowardly acts of hate, terror and violence.”
She then called for God to “hold” the shooting victims and their loved ones “tightly in his loving arms.”
As our nation mourns the senseless loss of life in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio and prays for the victims and their loved ones, we must also raise our voices in rejection of these heinous and cowardly acts of hate, terror and violence.

White supremacy, like all other forms of terrorism, is an evil that must be destroyed.

But her message had critics accuse her of being “complicit” and called her to resign from the White House. Many cited her father’s anti-immigrant statements as fueling the El Paso shooter’s alleged white nationalist beliefs and demanded stricter gun control legislation.
Take a look:
Why should we believe you care? You continue to enable your demented daddy to breed hate and white supremacy, so if you don’t care about him, you certainly don’t care about these poor souls who were murdered by people who take your father’s words of hate and violence as orders

WHAAAAAAAT???
You're just so utterly f*cking banal and trite, that you come off unintentionally HILARIOUS.
Like a really horribly over-acted, overly melodramatic movie.

Like father, like daughter. Your words are as empty as your hearts.

Your father is the principal inciter of white nationalist hatred in this country, and no generic thoughts and prayers tweet will ever erase your complicity.

I am so sick of hearing religious fucking drivel that does ZERO to change gun laws. Did the fucking praying do anything to stop mass slaughter? Are you not praying to the right god, not hard enough, not often enough? IT’S NONE of that. FUCK OFF W YOUR DELUSIONS and demand action.

The El Paso shooter said he wanted to stop the immigrant "invasion" of America.
As recently as May, the President used the exact same words: "It's an invasion."
Then someone in the crowd yelled out "shoot them."
He laughed. Then the crowd laughed.
