Ivanka Trump totally embarrassed herself over the weekend when she tweeted about standing up to white supremacy only to have the entire internet remind her that her own father, who she works for and who she is constantly defending in the media, is himself a white supremacist.
Then yesterday, she embarrassed herself again. Only this time, it was even worse, which isn’t that surprising, really, given that that’s the Trump family’s modus operandi: just when you think they can’t sink any lower, they find a way.
On Tuesday, the first daughter tweeted: “As we grieve over the evil mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, let us not overlook that Chicago experienced its deadliest weekend of the year.”
In a follow-up tweet, she added: “With 7 dead and 52 wounded near a playground in the Windy City- and little national outrage or media coverage- we mustn’t become numb to the violence faced by inner city communities every day.”
How about we take this to the next level?

With 7 dead and 52 wounded near a playground in the Windy City- and little national outrage or media coverage- we mustn’t become numb to the violence faced by inner city communities every day.

Ivanka was right about one thing. The horrific “inner city” playground massacre hardly received any national media coverage. This is mainly because… it never happened.
At a press conference yesterday, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot fact-checked the first daughter’s tweets, saying “It wasn’t a playground. It was a park. It wasn’t seven dead. It wasn’t 52 wounded in one incident, which is what this suggests.”
Lightfood continued, “It’s important when we’re talking about people’s lives to actually get the facts correct, which one can easily do if you actually cared about getting it right.”
“That’s the danger of somebody with a platform and audience … that doesn’t know what they’re talking about and getting the fundamental facts wrong that they can easily figure out if they had the decency to actually reach out to us, if they wanted to be a constructive and engaged partner.”
Lightfoot finished by saying that said she wasn’t going to waste any more time thinking about Ivanka Trump or her “nonsense tweets.”
Twitter also wasn’t having any of Ivanka’s alternative facts, or her use of the coded term “inner city communities,” which everyone knows is a phrase white people who are uncomfortable talking about race use when describing Black people.
Can you provide a link to this incident? I am unable to find were 52 people were injured in one incident in Chicago. I did see were 1 was killed and 7 injured near Douglas Park and a TOTAL of at 46 injured over the entire weekend. ALL gun violence is horrific.

Surprising no one, Ivanka carries on the family tradition of….

I remember how annoyed people were when my Dad gave me an undeserved job at his insurance agency.
Now I understand.— Matthew J. Thornton (@mthorn25) August 7, 2019
So now you’re concerned about the inner city? Thanks, Princess.
— Tom Clardy (@tfclardy) August 7, 2019
Princess Both-Sidsie Ivanka clumsily attempts to take the spotlight off her daddy and put it on Black folks in Chicago.
It’s not working.
Maybe you should use Toledo instead.

I never really had a problem with u until this disgraceful tweet. Not because of the inaccuracies, but because I know what you’re trying to do, and I don’t like it.
— Chaz Maz (@seminefrius) August 7, 2019
Yes, your dad said he was going to fix it. What happened with that?

“Inner city?” You mean black people, right?

The whole Trump family could get hit by a mini asteroid,comet or meteor. They’re all the Spawn of SATAN !!!
Tombear
Trump is the actual antiChrist. The Evangelicals sure love him. Funny they can’t see that.
Brian
As if there aren’t already enough tragedies in this country, the administration has invented Bowling Green, Toledo, and Chicago. This is a pattern of stupidity.
jsmu
ISKANKA lying again–how novel! And getting read for the sewer-scum FILTH she is by Lori Lightfoot, who actually has functional brain cells 🙂

Another fact Republicans and FOX News desperately try to hide.
Cities in Red states such as Memphis, St. Louis, New Orleans, Houston, Birmingham, etc… have FAR HIGHER violent crime rates then Chicago.
What they do is fudge the facts. Chicago is massive, much bigger than those other cities, so FOX News only talks about number of crimes, leaving out the fact that Chicago is 10 times bigger than those other cities. They just love trying to make Chicago look bad because Obama was from there.
And as for the talk of “Inner Cities”. That is straight out of the 1980’s Rush Limbaugh racist playbook. Those “Inner cities” in NY, SF, LA, DC, Boston, etc… are all low crime places where a studio apartment is going to cost you $3000 a month.
Ivanka is just showing both her racism and her ignorance…with a little desperation thrown in.
Mack
While I agree with what you’re saying, Memphis as a whole is Democratic verse the surrounding “white areas”, and Houston is a very Democratic city in Texas. Regardless the problem are guns. There are mentally ill people though out the world, there are video games players in every major country, but none and I mean NONE have the mass killings that we do here.
ShiningSex
She’s too stupid to hold any position other than being underneath her dad
bobnla
hey chidren…behave like adults; mature adults, not snowflakes. Your hatred is palpable and rather astonishing, though the Left has evolved into a force with despicable vitriol….as an example, just read the comments; ‘sewer-scum filth’, ‘stupidity in inventing tragedies’, ‘spawn of Satan’, ‘death by asteroid, comet or meteor’. Grow up, dudes; the world doesn’t agree with you all the time, so cool it.
hayesj
People like you are disgusting. Why don’t you run up to Washington and kiss their ass.
jsmu
@bobnla Run along back to Whitebarf now and read some more Reichwing propaganda, little impotent and inept Russkytroll, before you have your afternoon wank with the cutout of Dana Loesch. You’re bothering the adults here.
dwes09
Actually, most of the country, and most of the world does agree in this case. You seem to forget that the Trump Family has little to no popular mandate and is a laughing stock on the world stage.
You seem to forget that all of them except Barron have publicly humiliated or embarassed themselves and in some cases have been too dull to even realize it. And you seem yourself to be oblivious to the fact that you are the snowflake here; responding to well deserved criticism of a woman with no qualifications for her “job” with hysteria and disordered anger.
If inventing clearly fake tragedies to deflect from her father is not stupid, what is?
If outright lies on the national stage are not deserving of excoriation, what is?
You are probably too old to be told to grow up (and in no position to tell others to), but how about you learn to think (or at least try)?

@bobnia
Hatred is being spewed at all people of color, non-christians, non-English speakers, LGBTQ and others by white supremacists and associated hate groups.
We don’t hate you for your color, where you’re from or who you sleep with, that’s a big difference.
Cam
Translation: According to Republicans it’s ok to be racist and bigots, and to vote to harm others..as long as you do it with a smile.
hayesj
This criminal twat and her equally criminal slimeball husband are the lowest form of life. If they and their entire useless family disappeared off the face of the earth no one would give a damn. I hate their guts and wish every day that they would be sent Hell. Even that’s too good for them.
rustyiam
Not at all surprised Graham is throwing that despicable accusation out against her that she’s a white supremacist! People really go need to tune giwn the finger pointing and false accusations!
scotshot
@rustyiam
How many times has she called out her father? Never. Today she’s announcing fake facts about fake shootings in Chicago.
Half of your post appears to be written by a RussianTrollBot it’s unreadable.
nm4047
I guess you are somewhat correct in your commentary, given she is married to a jew, which are on the top of the hate list of white supremacists.
Cam
Except you can’t defend her against the accusation can you.
Cam
@nm4047
Except she didn’t marry a “Jew”. She married what she thought was a billionaire. The joke on her was that he was in as much debt as her daddy.
When it comes to money and fame people will overlook their own prejudices. Just look at all the Hollywood folks, including Jodie Foster who defended Mel Gibson when they still thought he had some influence.
IWantAFullBeard
I wonder what the pariah will do after papa is out of office. Now that will be funny to watch.

Unfortunately, the rest of the world believes you (& by default the rest of the world) will still be dealing with Trump for the next 5 years, but worse still will be followed by Pence.
batesmotel
Strangely enough endless gays follows Ivanka on all of her social media. When asked, it’s not Ivanka they have an issue with. It’s just her father.
Wink98
No, it is not just Trump that every intelligent and educated normal adult has but it is with the entire
Trump clan who are being led by a frozen in adolescent, bullying, a psychopathic lying father who
has a second-grade vocabulary.
MISTERJETT
that whole family is a bunch of turd heads. they should just dig a hole and jump in and never be heard from again.
Aires the Ram
Reading through the comments on this article, I find only one common thread; You hate Trump and anything/anyone vaguely associated with him. All the while enjoying renewed economic prosperity, job growth, manufacturing job repatriation, better trade deals, and the list goes on. But you hate him. You don’t know why you hate him, except that your “gay” so-called friends, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS & MSNBC tell you to.
Juanjo
Aires the Russian Troll is back with more delusional nonsense I see.
Diplomat-G
@aries,
Aries, my little Russian troll, trump’s economic success comes down to a mix of luck, the strong economy he inherited from Barack Obama, and a massive corporate tax cut that has artificially extended the economic expansion and added 2 trillion to the debt. The job growth you speak of was also due to what he inherited from President Obama, Manufacturing jobs are down cupcake not up. as for trade deals, LOL are you seriously calling NAFTA 2.0 a better deal? Are you referring to the China trade deal that does not exist? BTW I know exactly why I hate him and I can guarantee you everyone else does as well so go troll somewhere else.
rodzilla
“…You hate Trump and anything/anyone vaguely associated with him. ” I, for one, would consider his daughter more than just “anything/anyone vaguely associated with him.” But thanks for playing!
innocentgay
While she SHOULD be, we all know that Daddy’s Little Girl(friend) isn’t embarrassed by any of this. She doesn’t read her @s or replies. Neither does he. Y’all giving both of them free press, actually. She’s just as much a white supremacist as he is, which is to say: a big one. She doesn’t care about getting caught lying, she doesn’t care about anything besides the amount of wealth she can ferret away and the amount of weight she can throw around. Vote with your wallets and by ignoring them as much as possible.
