State Dept. deletes retweet promoting Ivanka Trumps book
By CONOR FINNEGAN - May 4, 2017, 7:56 PM ET
Less than two weeks after a firestorm over a controversial blog post, the State Department found itself in hot water again on Thursday for publishing material that critics say promotes Trump family business interests.
The Twitter account for the departments Office of Global Womens Issues retweeted a post by White House senior adviser Ivanka Trump in which she touts her new book.
Her book -- Women Who Work -- draws its name from a marketing campaign she began for her eponymous fashion brand.
Shortly after the retweet was noticed by journalists, the department took it down.

Hell, she's got access to a limo and driver, she could peddle her books out of the trunk on any corner.

Rex pretty much confirmed he is not very concerned about promoting American values, but is concerned about making money as the Secretary of State.
