Apparently Ivanka didn't want to get her dress messed up...

[SHRED]

...with the widow's tears as she never saw it in her heart to hug that poor woman.
No comfort that I saw, just using her.

1. of course they have been brought up to think people who are not rich are inferior

[CincyDem]

2. Makes the point that empathy is hereditary.

The natural (as least for most of us) desire to reach out and comfort another human being in pain...no matter who they are or why the pain.

Maybe Ivanka was too caught up in realizing that her dad killed this woman's husband through his need for a wag the dog spectacle.

6. Ouch baby

Very ouch. But accurate!

4. She doesn't touch peasants

5. Michelle would have been comforting her.

The difference was stark. I felt badly for Mrs. Owens, and not just for her loss.

[Cha]

15. Oh so much.. that's right

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. I felt so badly watching her stand up there like a prop.

She needed a human touch more than a standing ovation.

[Nitram]

7. To be honest, if Ivanka had hugged her we'd all be crying 'foul.' I would.

[Maru Kitteh]

9. Really? I doubt it. I see sympathy for that gutter snake here all the time.

Makes my stomach roll. People here give princess Ivanka far too much credit.

[SFnomad]

8. There are enough real reason to complain about the tRumps .. this sounds petty n/t

[BainsBane]

10. Exactly nt

[HipChick]

11. It was a $3000 dress

[BannonsLiver]

12. She may be the most evil of all

Something about her gives me the willies.

[RedWedge]

13. They have no idea how to human.

[crazycatlady]

14. Is it because it is from her line and so cheap that it will far apart on the first wear?

[Vinca]

17. The widow was a stage prop. It was disgusting.
