Ivanka Trump thought it wise to write a Tweet about Oprah Winfrey‘s triumphant Golden Globes speech on Monday, and now the Internet is vexed and confused.
On Monday night, she wrote that she’d just seen “Oprah’s empowering & inspiring speech… Let’s all come together, women & men, & say #TIMESUP!”

For a quick refresher, here’s an excerpt from that speech:
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.
“I want all the girls watching here and now to know that a new day is on the horizon! And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say, ‘Me too’ again.”
Just saw @Oprah's empowering & inspiring speech at last night’s #GoldenGlobes. Let’s all come together, women & men, & say #TIMESUP! #United https://t.co/vpxUBJnCl7

Of course, “me too” is in reference to the #MeToo movement that’s inspired thousands of women to open up about their experiences being sexual assaulted, while #TIMESUP alludes to Time’s Up, an initiative in Hollywood in which women fight against the Weinstein effect in the industry and elsewhere.
Now, this tone-deafiest of Tweets is earning the Internet’s ire:
Honestly Ivanka, it took a staggering level of heinous idiocy for you to post this tweet.

Ivanka tweeted out a follow up.
She would support Oprah if Oprah bragged about sexually assaulting people, if she started Grabbing women by the P*ssy, and if Oprah promised to cut women’s healthcare.
Oh, and also if Oprah said she would legalize money laundering operations using a phony Trump Tower in Azerbaijan that nobody had any intention of building but through which hundreds of millions of Russian money was laundered.
That’s what you have to do for Ivanka to support you.
SiamSam
Trump is still President. So sorry for you.

In other words, you can’t respond to the comment. So lets repeat.

DCTroll can’t you just to the human gene pool a favor and drown yourself? HIV and Alzheimers are just SO difficult to die from these days…so why not just speed up the process for us? There’s a good troll…
DCguy
@Knight
I notice that you couldn’t actually refute anything I said so you just stamped your foot and called me names like a screaming little 7 year old. What a perfect example of the typical GOP troll.
Now be a good anti-lgbt Trump Troll and please tell Putin to send a replacement for you, you’re terrible at this.
Knight
DCTroll nothing you EVER type is worth refuting. You just name-call, accuse anyone you disagree with as having multiple accounts and dismiss them (when it’s YOU who hypocritically have multiple accounts…”cam”). In other words, you are scum…just plain and simply human waste.

“some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say, ‘Me too’ again.”
That can be taken several ways. Maybe Ivanka believes that men should be more persistent & aggressive with p***y-grabbing, and be “phenomenal” about it, and then women could just sit back & enjoy it & stop with all this “Me too” stuff.
CanadianGuy62
There is “woke” and then there is being completely “comatose.” IvanKKKa falls firmly in the latter.
Aires the Ram
CanadianGuy62, to suggest that Ivanka is associated with the Klu Klux Klan, by spelling her name “IvanKKKa” is pure stupidity. She married a jew. It’s easy to throw arounds terms like ‘bigot’ or ‘KKK’, or _______ogynist, or _______ophobe, but really? Could it be that you just don’t like Trump, when Justin Truedeau is your countries leader anyway? That sure takes the cake, a Canadian suggesting the daughter of the American President is associated with the Klu Klux Klan.
He BGB
Women who defend Trump. From heifer hog sanders to kellyanne to his wife and daughter. Makes me vomit.
OzJosh
Quite apart from the obvious cluelessness here, I wonder if Ivanka took time to reflect that not once in his year as president, or the previous year as a candidate, has her father ever given a speech – even one written for him by someone learned and articulate – that comes close to being as incisive and inspirational as Oprah’s.
1EqualityUSA
This homely brood couldn’t write a speech to save their lives. A stupid family headed up by an imbecile.
1EqualityUSA
o.k.–back to work on the house. Painting interiors this week. One thing about having such an imbecile in the Oval, our house is in ship-shape and Bristol fashion. If we cannot control this man-child from ego-driven outbursts, then we’ll control our surroundings. I recommend it. Get rid of everything and chase echoes, the time flies, and before we know it, they’ll arrest this treasonous beast, and he’ll quit by February 2018. He’ll be gone, and our house will still be standing– if numbnuts doesn’t provoke North Korea’s man-child into a war with the U.S. (Cannot wait until the Generals write their books.) This clown is toast, historically speaking. Worst Resident in U.S. history. May the GOP go extinct. Fluke-lips-ka up there needs to go away and be silent for about nine decades. We don’t care what the daughter of a white supremacist, draft-dodging, bankrupt, morally broken asswipe has to say. Go away. The entire brood needs to slither back to their viper-pit and stfu. Fresh paint, polished bricks, tidy yard, a clean bathroom fan, and an empty garage, take THAT, Fluke-lips-ka.
Knight
OzJosh actually, you only feel it’s inclusive and inspirational because you’re weak-minded and not very bright. Anyone who thinks rationally and critically saw her speech for what it was.
Knight
So, to put this into perspective; Oprah can be buddy-buddy with Weinstein and a cadre of male abusers for literally decades without so much as ever saying a word until JUST this year. Yet now she’s a “hero” and “inspirational” for speaking out…a year after it’s become fashionable to do so. Hilary helped to publicly destroy the reputation of her husband’s victims, yet she gets a pass because, hey…she’s a Democrat. But yet all the bile and vitriol gets reserved for Ivanka Trump simply because she is the daughter of a man who has never once been convicted of the crime of sexual abuse/harassment.
I’d say leftist hypocrisy is as clueless as it is predictable.
Brody
We call it the “pig pass.”
If you abuse or assault women, demean or offend any race other than Caucasians, insult or otherwise bad-mouth gays . . . then you must recant, resign your job, and after your apology tour kill yourself to rid the world of your nastiness . . . unless, of course, you’re a Democrat, in which case you get the pig pass.
Robert Byrd was a Klansman? Pass.
Ted Kennedy killed a woman? Pass.
Bill Clinton raped and molested? Pass.
Hillary Clinton broke countless laws? Pass.
Joe Biden fondles little girls? Pass.
Not only is liberal hypocrisy predictable, it can be stunning in its obviousness.
DCguy
Awww, how cute, two of Mo Bros screenames are supporting each other.
Oh, Knight, one thing I notice you keep skipping….please point out where any of the details were wrong here….or, if you want to keep throwing a tantrum, then at least please clean up the borsht and kasha from your area, the next troll coming in should have a clean workspace.
Knight
Brody LOL…agreed.
DCTroll drop dead you hypocritical piece of human waste. No, go fornicate yourself with your fist, THEN drop dead “cam”.
Imbecile.
