Ivanka tRump condemns acts of violence. Gets destroyed by RW'er Joe Scarborough



Joe Scarborough @JoeNBC

Do you strongly condemn your father using the presidential bully pulpit and years of campaign rallies to constantly stir up hatred against CNN, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama?

Ivanka Trump @IvankaTrump

I strongly condemn the attempted acts of violence against President Obama, the Clinton family, @CNN & others. There is no excuse—America is better than this.

Gratitude to the @SecretService and law enforcement for all they do to keep this nation safe.

5. I agree. As recently as my own childhood, "Bully for you!" meant "Well done! Good for you!"

She couldn’t remain silent, and her father is unpersuadable. Maybe at one point she was the one person who had the most influence over him, but I honestly feel as though he has gone over to the dark side and literally will not listen to anyone except the roar of his crowds.
