Tweet from Stuart Stevens an hour ago:

It's sort of perfect that the "Law and Order" candidate would have a daughter who is openly breaking the law. Look, @IvankaTrump, after your husband screws up your dad's campaign and he loses, are you sure he will pardon you??

1. I figure she did this because Goya is taking a hit financially from boycotts and bad press.

2. From a legal perspective, that makes it worse. n/t

[Nevilledog]

5. I agree. But think of a good reason why Ivanka would out of the blue promote Goya?

[Ms. Toad]

8. I thought her motivation was obvious the moment she tweeted

I assumed it was to everyone else, as well.

[Nevilledog]

9. Which was?

[mr_lebowski]

10. Which was exactly what you said in your first post ...

Well, that, and the fact that the CEO publicly sucked up to her daddy, which precipitated those outcomes.

3. That's no excuse, and this won't help a bit.

[Nevilledog]

6. Didn't say it was an excuse. Said it could be the reason she did it.

And ETTD includes the offspring.

11. Why should we give a damn about why she did it?

Why should be give a damn about Flynn or Stone lied for Trump?

What they did is illegal. Lock them all up.

12. There's no question that is the reason (nt)

4. Fine, go ahead and illegally push someone's products, you scumbag. I'll just redouble my efforts to

go through and throw out any goya products I may have in the house, and if I see some in the store (I'm going to Walmart and maybe Schnucks today), I'm going to complain to the managers, take these goya products off their shelves.

14. Out of curiosity ... what specific law is being broken?

It's probably somewhat of a legal gray area since she did it on twitter and would claim she did it in her 'private citizen' capacity.

15. Pushing someone's products when one is clearly a public servant is unfair to others, using the...

publicity that one gets being a public servant. Why push the boundaries? I bet other businesses are kind of upset (I'd be if the WH was clearly biased and pushing for a product over others, when they need to be neutral and be fair to others. Kind of like rump pushing for the economic summit to be held at his doral properties).

[mr_lebowski]

16. There's no doubt it's unethical ... as is most everything this shameful band of miscreants does ...

Numerous people on the thread are referring to this as 'illegal', so I was curious what law is involved here.

7. That photo is so cheesy.

Just imagine the reaction if ANY OTHER FIRST FAMILY MEMBER, a Democrat or a Republican, did something like that.

13. David Ogilvy got Eleanor Roosevelt to endorse some laundry powder in the 1950s.

Rinso Blue, I think.

Not the finest moment for either of them.

17. She has larger hands than her dad. n/t
