Ivanka Trump Condemns Neo-Nazis After Clashes At White Nationalist Rally

Source: Talking Points Memo

First daughter Ivanka Trump on Sunday condemned “racism, white supremacy and neo-nazis” a day after violent clashes at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, left three dead and dozens injured.

“There should be no place in society for racism, white supremacy and neo-nazis,” she tweeted. “We must all come together as Americans.”

I am not a fan of this woman, her father or anyone else that goes around a trumpets the virtues of this BS of making it sound like it really is some kind of heartfelt moment of BS, it's still BS and needs to be called what it is.

Her father has at his feet the birther issue, second this woman uses economic racism to make a buck, just like her family and any other corporation in the country and the world, that is a reality of fact.

It started here in this land when explorers laid their greedy feet on this soil and other soils

All racism is based on economics, always has been and always will be, from India to the US, England, Ireland, South America, and any other place, no matter what century you lived in

If she were smart, she'd convince him "Just say it. It's your job."

Trump hates being on the losing team. As it's playing out his unshakeable ~35% approval rating are apparently these neo-Nazi alt-right bigots, plus the less violent ones who secretly appreciate white supremacy and will silently approve and vote for him. I suspect by now he's shaken off all the semi-rational people who initially supported him.

If 45 did a turnaround and got the other 65% on his side by catering (pandering) to them - Shoring up ACA, handling immigration compassionately, admitting that it's wrong to discriminate against POC, women, LGBTQ, and at least making a show of actually meaning what he says and admitting he was doing it wrong...he could get all the appreciation he wants. Like I said in another post about Obama "I don't care if he puts his feet on the the oval office desk and golfs occasionally so long as he's working for the good of America and humanity." Yes, we are not the people who voted for him, but bipartisanship works both ways. A real "smart guy" with no loyalty would capitalize on winning the larger voting bloc.

I know he's completely too far down the "slimeball' tube to work his way back out of this, but we know his loyalty has no purchase and is as slippery as his whims. Why wouldn't he defect from the losing side? If he had done the pivot everyone wanted him to and practiced a little magnanimity early on, he could have held onto the country as a functional, if mediocre, President.

We have seen the real Don the Con, and the majority of us do not like it. I would go as far as to say HATE it. The presidency is not a reality show. It means hard work, dedication, commitment. Donnie Two Scoops could never fake even one of those qualities. Fat, greedy, childish blob.

...and pointed out that Ivanka did a better job than her father.

Then he went off - "your DAUGHTER is Jewish, your SON-IN-LAW is Jewish", "why can't you condemn these anti-Semitic people?" (paraphrasing, I'm missing the real anger!)

She hasn't condemned having the likes of Sebastian Gorka, Steve Bannon, and Stephen Miller advising her father and dictating policy. Her focus group probably thought this tweet was good for her "brand" and that she needed to throw a bone to the clientele she hopes will shop at her new retail outlet in Trump Tower.

Huge FAIL! There's no cleaning up from drumpfs support of neo-nazi terrorism, none. He's shown the true hate that lives in him with his statement that this has nothing to do with him. LIAR! David Duke told the truth and he's secretly reveling in this. He thinks it's a shot over the bow for Mueller trying to take him down, that there will be civil war if this is dared. That's what this is about.

My parent's generation fought a war over this shit. I just want to know how much those gutless republicans in the House are going to take before they take action. How much longer are they going to put up with this asshole's threat to our country? How much longer are they going to try to claim they represent "the people"? It's time to hit the streets.

30. She had her chance to not be complicit

She could have also made a fortune for her immediate family going forward as well. She could have re-created the Ivanka brand into a mega empire for her children to inherit. IF...she would have broken ties with her father at some point (perhaps the hollywood insider bus tape?) and said she will always love him but he is not a good fit for President, and she disagrees with him on his views. And that she would be venturing forth to rebrand her own business as simply Ivanka, and break ties with her father in her business. She would probably get a lot of support from women, around the globe. (and men) and her products would do very well.

But the nail in the coffin for me was her interview after the brilliant SNL parody of a perfume commercial with Scarlett Johansson as Ivanka pushing the perfume called "Complicit". In that interview she says. "If being complicit is wanting to — is wanting to be a force for good and to make a positive impact, then I'm complicit. I don’t know what it means to be complicit, but you know, I hope time will prove that I have done a good job,"

whoooooooosh!

Here you go Ivanka, the dictionary meaning of "complicit" for you:

"...choosing to be involved in an illegal or questionable act, especially with others; having complicity."

She can go to hell. She is just as complicit as her brothers.
