First daughter Ivanka Trump received a rude reception Saturday night after she posted a three-tweet statement about the violence in Charlottesville — almost one year to the day after the white-nationalist “Unite the Right” rally that left one woman dead.
According to Ivanka, who also serves as a White House adviser to her father, President Donald Trump, “One year ago in Charlottesville, we witnessed an ugly display of hatred, racism, bigotry & violence.”
She added, “While Americans are blessed to live in a nation that protects liberty, freedom of speech and diversity of opinion, there is no place for white supremacy, racism and neo-nazism in our great country. Rather than tearing each other down with hatred, racism & violence, we can lift one another up, strengthen our communities and strive to help every American achieve his or her full potential!”
With many commenters noting her father defended “both sides” at the time, Ivanka got an earful for saying too little, too late.

Then came the comments…
One year ago in Charlottesville, we saw your dad call Nazis and KKK members “very fine people.” You continue to stand by him. Don’t even pretend to give a damn about combatting bigotry.

You said nothing then.

It’s one thing to be tone deaf, but quite another to consistently say the wrong things at the wrong time, every time. People have always complimented you on your intelligence and frankly, I don’t know why. One of the surest signs of intelligence is knowing when to stay quiet.

Rather than insincere messaging on Twitter you cld alleviate most people’s anxiety, concern and fear for the future if u, yr husband & father resigned. Thoughtful & constructive.
