Trump’s White House Was FURIOUS About Ivanka’s Sister-in-Law Karlie Kloss’ January 6th Tweets

When model Karlie Kloss tweeted about the January 6 Capitol insurrection it upset an aide to Ivanka Trump and former Trump aide Hope Hicks, according to recently released texts.

Kloss is married to Jared Kushner’s brother, Josh Kushner, The Independent reports.

The texts, released by the House Select Committee investigating the insurrection show that Ivanka Trump’s Chief of Staff, Julie Radford, and Hicks were worried about the impact of the riot on their reputations, according to The Daily Beast.

“Accepting the results of a legitimate democratic election is patriotic. Refusing to do so and inciting violence is anti-American,” Kloss tweeted in the aftermath of the insurrection. This led one person on Twitter to urge her to “tell your sister-in-law and brother-[in]-law.”

“I’ve tried,” Kloss responded.

The texts released by the committee show that Hicks alerted Radford about Kloss’s tweets.

“Unreal. She just called me about it,” Radford wrote.

“I am so done,” was Hicks’s response. “Does she get how royally f***ed they all are now?”

Both women expressed concerns about how they would be impacted by the riot.

“In one day, he ended every future opportunity that doesn’t include speaking engagements at the local proud boy’s chapter,” Hicks wrote, referring to Trump.

“And all of us that didn’t have jobs lined up will be perpetually unemployed,” she added. “I’m so mad and upset. We all look like domestic terrorists now.”

Radford responded that she had “been crying for an hour.”

There was additional back-and-forth between the two women, with Hicks worrying that she and other Trump staffers would be “unemployable” and “untouchable” following the failed siege of the Capitol.

“God, I’m so f***ing mad,” Hicks said.

Radford wrote in the exchange that the repercussions had already begun.

“Visa also sent me a blow-off email today. Already,” she wrote.

“Not being dramatic, but we are all f***ed,” Hicks responded, noting that White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah Griffin’s decision to announce her resignation in December 2020 made her seem like a “genius.”

The texts were among a large cache of documents made public by the committee as it published its findings and wrapped up work before the Republicans gained control of the House on January 3.

It’s understandable that Hicks and Radford were worried about their futures. But they hitched their wagons to this man and perhaps came to regret this.

And if they don’t, they should.
