Ivanka Trump had nothing but kind words for the domestic terrorists who breached the U.S. Capitol yesterday in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election.
At 3:15 p.m., as the insurrection was in full force, the First Daughter took to Twitter to call those fighting on behalf of her father “American Patriots.”
“American Patriots ― any security breach or disrespect to our law enforcement is unacceptable,” she wrote.
To be very, very clear: White nationalists, anarchists, neo-Nazis, QAnon followers, and anyone breaking into the U.S. Capitol during a joint session of Congress with Confederate flags, guns, mace, homemade bombs, zip ties, and other weaponry are not “patriots.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
A backlash immediately ensued and Ivanka quickly deleted the tweet, but not before several people grabbed screenshots of it.
When CNN reporter Kate Bennett asked Ivanka for clarification on what she meant by “patriots,” Ivanka tweeted: “Peaceful protest is patriotic. Violence is unacceptable and must be condemned in the strongest terms.”
No. Peaceful protest is patriotic. Violence is unacceptable and must be condemned in the strongest terms. https://t.co/GwngZTqzTH

And just like that, Ivanka’s dreams of ever holding public office completely and thoroughly evaporated.
Here’s what people are saying about it…
American patriots? I’m sitting here in lockdown. The capitol has been breached and people have guns drawn. What are you talking about? https://t.co/ZWY7Bxl8BO

Ivanka Trump deleted her tweet about "American Patriots" because she slightly misspelled "Domestic Terrorists."

We were always told that @IvankaTrump was going to be the “voice of reason” for her father. Instead, she’s just as complicit.
You can delete the tweet, but you calling rioters “American Patriots” will live on! pic.twitter.com/0G8SGvH4fE

Honestly, Ivanka's "American Patriots" tweet is worse than Trump's "fine people on both sides."

Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, all the Republican members of Congress who attempted to subvert our democracy, and all those who participated in the failed revolt/coup should be arrested and charged with treason.
whatsaywhat
The punishment for treason is execution.

face book kicked me off for 30 days for posting “all Traitors should hang” thinking that is what has historically happened to traitors but I guess Zuckerburg doesnt agree

Execution. The first time I smiled all day. Thanks.

You do realize the Rosenbergs sold classified US nuclear intelligence to the Soviet Union, giving them information how to build nuclear weapons? Do you really think that was doing less?

Roy Ajax
Trump sold the US out to Russia as collateral for his unpaid debts. Yes. It is worse.
Roy Ajax

No proof of that. But there is proof Hunter Biden at least used his father to get big bucks from China & Ukraine… did Uncle Joe know?
Cam
@Roy Ajax
Actually there is proof of that, and since you claim that there is proof against Hunter Biden, you are more than welcome to post any.
As it is, even with NOTHING else, Jared’s asking for a back channel to Russia to avoid going through the government is enough to arrest him.
And since you love talking about China, lets talk about how the Kushner family was selling visas to high income Chinese folks and Ivanka was illegally getting trademark’s over there.
whatsaywhat
Roy Ajax
What the f*ck does Hunter Biden have to do with the current president of the United states 3 decade criminal career and the $1 Billion in debt he owes – primarily to Russian plutocrats?
You are obviously as dumb as the sad, deranged wretches who stormed the capitol & perhaps you’ll even enjoy paying off the $8 trillion your wastrel con man racked up on the national credit card past four years.
Cam
The entire Trump family is encouraging domestic terrorism.
Countdown to the same right wing troll account and it’s multiple screenames coming in here to scream about Michelle Obama or Hunter Biden.

I know and whoever it really is thinks we havent figured it out. We are not inbred rubes like the trump deplorables and know which screen names they are
GlobeTrotter
The GOP, Twitter and Facebook have ALL been complicit from day one, as far as I’m concerned. I’m completely unmoved by all the GOP tears shed since yesterday’s Storming of the Capital. Mental health experts have been warning us about Trump’s instability since he first ran for office. And what did the GOP do? They installed him into office, gave him a trillion dollar budget, the world’s larges army, a twitter platform with unlimited reach, and then they cuddled him, defended him, embraced him, made excuses for him – and now they’re pleasantly surprised that he won’t leave the White House. They all belong behind bars as far as I’m concerned!

Time to flush Faux-Princess Ivanka and the entire Con Drumpf family and all their GOP enablers down the drain of history–after they’ve served time in the penitentiary for their multiple crimes against the US.
The last time the US Capitol was invaded was during the War of 1812! These right-wing monsters, who included visible neo-Nazis (does Ivanka, who like her husband and children is Jewish, not know this?), put the Republican VP and the leaders of both houses of Congress and our elected representatives in mortal danger. “Patriots”? Are you kidding me? This was domestic terrorism and an attempted coup that the entire world saw! Iran, China, Venezuela, Cuba, everyone else did not need to lift a finger, because Putin’s puppet Don the Con and his enablers in the GOP, with the help of their rabid goons, tried to take our government down themselves!
THE ENTIRE DON THE CON CRIME FAMILY SHOULD BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, not only for this crime, but for the numerous other ones they’ve been engaging in since Don the Con was installed in office in 2016.

After reading these comments, I just shake my head and roll my eyes at the blatant stupidity of the tRump supporters. You can’t argue with Stupid. If they are ignorant enough to believe every single lie tRump spews from his crooked mouth than there is no help for them. tRump will go down as the worst American president Period. Enough said!
Cam
While we’re blaming Trump, Twitter, and Facebook, one more thing to add.
Republicans have been lying and calling media “Liberal” for years so media gets defensive and moves right.
Example.: The Political director of CBS News is a former Marco Rubio staffer. CBS commentators were ordered not to use the words rioters or terrorists for the mob that attacked the U.S. capitol. Finally after massive backlash and other channels starting to use the terms, CBS backed down and relented. But the Mainstream media channels all brought on Republicans and Trump supporters in high level roles and they’ve been softening the language and covering for Republicans ever since.
Onecaddy13
@Cam, Call out all the media outlets, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, etc:, none of these stations uttered the word terrorists. They continuously uttered those two famous words, Peaceful Protestors. Call them all out, not just one station. no matter who worked for who. Americans are not blinded by the misguiding of both public and cable news outlets. Anything for ratings. THEYRE ALL LIARS!!!!
barryaksarben
The entire country has been forced right by the gop who cried out anytime they were held to account for their hate filled speech. They walk back their speech but never let up on the media to the point that now when the left called for basic fair play the right screamed who the were being attacked. We need to take the country way left just to get to the actual middle
Openminded
My view of the media is that they will report anything, including known lies, if they think it will gain viewers or clicks. This includes both “liberal” and “conservative” media outlets. I’m old enough to remember when the news only included that which was provable facts. Yeah, with no internet back then, we often had to wait days or longer to get the full story, but what you did get was factual when you got it. There was no liberal or conservative outlets. They were all afraid not to report the truth and even ALWAYS referred to the president as “Mr. President”. None of this “Obama”, “Trump”, etc. disrespect we see today that only breeds contempt and hatred.
cuteguy
There are rumblings that this white trash will either run against current governor Ron Deathsantis or run for senate against trump
bootlickers Lil Marco or doormat Rick Scott in the sh1thole state of Florida. Stacey Abrams needs to come down here and save our state from the current Dems bc those same Dems supported Andrew Gollum for the gubernatorial race that gave us Ron Disaster.
Mister P
Ted Cruz should be arrested too. He will never do the right thing.
Sister Bertha Bedderthanyu
I know I am going against the first amendment when I say this but I do think it time for this ENTIRE family to be censored by the media. Inciting an insurrection with the intent of overthrowing our government is a crime. Were I in charge as of yesterday afternoon I would order the censoring of ANY publication whether online or hard copy that printed anything they said after 6pm Washington, DC time, the time the curfew went into effect.
Openminded
Yeah, it’s too bad that would be considered unconstitutional, even if it is badly needed. I’d prefer to see the 25th invoked ASAP if possible. Just wait to see the riots that will happen when Trump grants pardons to everyone involved in the Capital attack. That was a Federal offense and unlike some of his own State law breaking antics, he can very easily pardon yesterdays attackers if not removed from office immediately.
Cam
@Openminded
That isn’t true. The first amendment simply states that you can’t be arrested for disagreeing with the government. A company like CNN can absolutely say that it isn’t going to report anything Trump or his family says.
happy50132003
You are all HATERS. Do you HATERS think that what the BLM protestors/rioters did this summer was OK. If so then you are more STUPID than I gave you credit for. Who you going to HATE when the Trump family is done with their tenure of office. SO filled with HATE. Maybe you should try saying a little prayer that GOD will fill your heart with LOVE instead of HATE. SAD that these journalist (AND I USE THE TERM LOOSELY) can not write something positive instead always promoting HATE.

Yes, the trumps are all vile, putrid, seditious devils who should very realistically be behind bars.

I’m totally againt any type of violence towards anyone. What these protesters did was inexcusable and abhorrent. These people are not terrorists. These are peaceful protesters. Isn’t that what the radical left and the main stream media called the protestors regarding Breanna Taylor and George Floyd? And they destroyed and burned multiple businesses. Assaulted first responders and burned police vehicles and hijacked 2 city blocks. The only difference was the DC protesters didn’t burn down the capital or vandalize any surrounding buildings or set fires. Yeah, they broke a few windows, but they didn’t desecrate the building. In both cases, these were Federal offences, and all involved should be brought to justice. No matter your party affiliation, you cant have it both ways, their both either peaceful protestors or their both domestic terrorists. Its just sad it had to happen in OUR USA!!!!!
Cam
Sweetie, you’ve been on multiple threads always trying to defend bigots, and now here you are lying and claiming that people who busted out windows, brought zip ties, brought pipe bombs, injured cops, and threatened our government leaders weren’t violent.
We all have TVs and saw it. If you’re going to troll, try not to lie about something we all saw less than 24 hours ago. You’re pathetically bad at this.

You Trump idiots called BLM and Antifa terrorists, but these aren’t???? Hypocrites.
BLM and Antifa are trying to stop the hate and injustice in this country. These ugly, poorly dressed rednecks were trying to take away our vote and spread fake news/conspiracy bs. Sit down! No one needs to hear your crap!

How is looting and mass destruction of property seeking justice? Everyone who committed a crime should be arrested and charged on both sides. The difference with DC is that most of the people were actually peacefully protesting.

It was an appalling spectacle, Trump and his inner circle will be held accountable alongside the rabble that they manipulated. The other people that should be held accountable are all the media outlets such as Fox News that has spread lies and mis information over the years without any accountability.
