So why didn't Ivanka Trump fire back when Samantha Bee hurled a vulgarity at her? The presidential daughter appeared on Fox Business Network Friday and said her silence was deliberate. I have chosen, and I made a conscientious decision a long time ago, that I was not going to get into the fray, and that means that Ill absorb the body blows that come my way, Trump told Maria Bartiromo. Instead, she says she wants to "focus on the task at hand, which is serving the American people and using this moment in my life to advance an agenda that I deeply believe in and feel very fortunate to be able to work on."
Ivanka Trump had taken flak for not publicly criticizing the policy of separating families at the borderin fact, that was the source of Bee's criticism. When Bartiromo asked her if she had advised her father privately to ditch the policy, the first daughter said she had. Of course, I have very strong opinions on that topic, she said, per the Washington Post. As Bustle notes, Ivanka Trump tweeted her thanks to President Trump after he reversed the policy and called for families to be reunited "swiftly."

(9,426 posts)"It is better to remain silent and let people THINK you are stupid, rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt" Her agenda?? That is expanding tRump (mainly her own) businesses. I wonder if she has a jacket to match Maleria's "I really don't care. Do U?" Every word she says is carefully measured for effect. Bottle blonde hair in place, frozen face hardly moving, until she smiles, then her face seems to cut in half. Unlike Donald Jr. daddy spent money for her to have a chin implant. Her face is sort of Olive Oyl shaped.

(3,635 posts)They love to play the false outrage angle.
Bee is a comedian, and her underlying sentiment with that statement is accurate.
Trump is a president, who admitted to non-consensual assaults, wants an anti-choice SCOTUS, puts kids in cages, etc - where is Ivanka's 'outrage' over that?
Trump's wife/daughter/sons etc are all complicit in his evil; they are no victims.
