Ivanka Trump’s Lawyer Dispels ‘Misinformation’ in Report That She Used Her Personal Email in a Government Role

/0 Comments/in , /by

Peter Mirijanian, a spokesman for Ivanka Trump’s lawyer Abbe Lowell, replied Monday evening to a Washington Post report that the first daughter, who holds the title of assistant to the president, had sent government emails on her private account.

Mirijanian told the Post that Trump had used her personal account before being briefed on ethics rules.

“While transitioning into government, after she was given an official account but until the White House provided her the same guidance they had given others who started before she did, Ms. Trump sometimes used her personal account, almost always for logistics and scheduling concerning her family,” he claimed. . .

He also addressed the comparisons her email use had been inviting with the personal email use of Hillary Clinton. Clinton’s use of personal email on a private server for government business was a large scandal on the 2016 campaign trail.

“To address misinformation being peddled about Ms. Trump’s personal email, she did not create a private server in her house or office,” he wrote, “there was never classified information transmitted, the account was never transferred or housed at Trump Organization, no emails were ever deleted, and the emails have been retained in the official account in conformity with records preservation laws and rules.” (Read more from “Ivanka Trump’s Lawyer Dispels ‘Misinformation’ in Report That She Used Her Personal Email in a Government Role” HERE)

Protesters Confront Ivanka Trump on Family Separations

By The Hill. Demonstrators on Monday greeted Ivanka Trump outside a Syracuse, N.Y., school, protesting the Trump administration’s treatment of migrant families who had been separated after crossing into the U.S.

Protesters waved signs outside the Institute of Technology at Central High School reading “shame” and “Ivanka! Do you know where their children are?” Syracuse.com reported.

Trump was making an appearance at the school for a roundtable discussion on workforce development programs.

But outside the school, protesters kept their focus on the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy, which prioritizes the prosecutions of people who cross into the U.S. illegally through Mexico.

That policy has resulted in thousands of migrant children being separated from their parents at the U.S. southern border in recent months, a practice that has sparked national and international outrage. (Read more from “Protesters Confront Ivanka Trump on Family Separations” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Bizpac Review. The bizarre incident where actor and comedian Andy Dick groped Ivanka Trump in 2007 on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” takes on new meaning upon the report that Dick has been charged with groping a woman on a Los Angeles street earlier this year. . .

“You don’t play up the glitter on your legs?” he says, before trying to feel her up — to Trump’s credit, she a good sport about it as she laughs and slaps away his hand.

“Andy, please don’t touch Ivanka,” Kimmel says as he gets up. “Donald Trump will kill both of us.”

“Andy did a segment, he was a little out of it,” Kimmel said. “She (Ivanka) came out… he wanted a big, wet kiss. It was time for Andy to go, so I escorted him out by his feet.”

Dick referred to the incident in December 2017 on Instagram, using it to take a swipe at President Trump.

By USA Today. Days after Andy Dick was charged with misdemeanor sexual battery for groping a woman on a Los Angeles street, videos have resurfaced of the actor rubbing Ivanka Trump’s legs during an episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in 2007 and grabbing and fondling Pamela Anderson’s breasts during a 2005 Comedy Central roast.

In the Anderson clip, Dick claims to be her “breasts’ creator,” before walking behind the former “Baywatch” star, reaching around and fondling the surprised actress’ breasts.

After about a minute of touching and squeezing, Dick says, “Don’t worry. She can’t feel any of this.” Anderson quickly replies, “I can so.” . . .

Michelle Wolf Launches Vile Attack Against Ivanka, Makes Repulsive Comparison

/0 Comments/in , /by

After a controversial turn as host of the annual White House Correspondents Dinner earlier this year, comedian Michelle Wolf has gone on to push more boundaries as the host of her own Netflix talk show.

As The Hill reported, she received backlash after the most recent episode, which included rants about first daughter and White House adviser Ivanka Trump, among others in the administration of President Donald Trump.

One segment offered satirical advice for insulting White House officials, explaining that she supports Rep. Maxine Water’s call for harassing them but does not think “casual” protests will work.

“You can’t just casually harass these people,” she said. “You have to insult them specifically.”

Referencing a crass depiction of Ivanka Trump last month by Samantha Bee, Wolf cautioned that the profane language used by the “Full Frontal” host was not effective.

“‘You’re a c***’ doesn’t hurt them,” she said. “It’s on their vision board.”

Wolf went on to offer some alternatives she said would impact Trump administration officials more acutely.

In order to affect members of the administration, she said, critics would need to choose words that are “life-alteringly hurtful” to their targets and “hit their deepest insecurities with the hot venom of a teenager from a broken home.”

Though she provided insults to several elected officials and other prominent government figures, she spent a majority of the segment focused on Ivanka Trump.

“First, call her Tiffany,” Wolf advised users who spot Trump in public. “This will devastate her.”

The host then launched into several pointed jabs generally related to Ivanka Trump’s perceived ineffectiveness in blunting her father’s harsh policies.

“Ivanka, you’re like vaginal mesh,” Wolf said in her first suggested insult. “You were supposed to support women but now you have blood all over and you’re the center of a thousand lawsuits.”

Another joke compared her to Yaz, a birth control pill some studies linked to adverse side effects.

“At first it seemed like it would be really cool and helpful, but you need to be immediately recalled,” Wolf said.

Interjected into her jokes at the expense of other Trump officials, Wolf provided several other insults related to Ivanka Trump.

“Hey girl, do your legs hurt? Because you’ve been running afoul of government ethics all year,” she suggested as the next alternative.

Acknowledging that the insult will “satisfy you more than it will hurt her,” Wolf added yet another vulgar comparison she said would be sure to hit its mark.

“Is your nickname herpes? Because you’re not necessarily the most dangerous person in the administration, but you’re very unpleasant, totally incurable and you always show up when we’re about to get f****d,” she said.

Wolf closed the segment by referring to Ivanka Trump as the “prettiest tumor in a swiftly moving cancer.” (Read more from “Michelle Wolf Launches Vile Attack Against Ivanka, Makes Repulsive Comparison” HERE)

Kathy Griffin Launches Vile Attack on Ivanka Over Kate Spade’s Suicide

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Washed-up “entertainer” Kathy Griffin is best known to the American public for the incredibly distasteful picture she posted of herself last year holding a mock severed head representing President Donald Trump . . .

But Griffin’s own attack on Ivanka this week – in response to the first daughter’s thoughtful Twitter post on the suicide of fashion designer Kate Spade — was beyond the bounds of rational behavior. Even for a nut job like Griffin, it was way too far. . .

Any suicide is tragic, of course, but Spade’s was particularly noteworthy. Starting out as a journalist in the fashion world, she had made an international name for herself by founding a hugely popular fashion line that centered on women’s handbags but included a range of fashion products, according to Biography.com.

As word of the death spread, Ivanka Trump – who has built her own brand of success in the fashion world — took to Twitter to express her sadness, and urge any readers who might be in danger of harming themselves to seek help. . .

That’s about as unobjectionable a tweet as has even been posted. But for a borderline-lunatic like Griffin, it was a red flag to charge.

Outrage Follows After Samantha Bee Launches Profane On-Air Attack on Ivanka Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Comedian Samantha Bee is receiving significant backlash for a profane and derogatory attack aimed at President Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, during a monologue on her TBS show “Full Frontal.”

Bee began the segment by criticizing current U.S. immigration policy that separates undocumented children from their parents.

“We’re going to talk about racism, and I just popped an Ambien so everyone buck up!” Bee told the audience.

She then turned her attention to a photo Ivanka had posted to Instagram of her son, Theodore.

Various media figures had already characterized the photo as insensitive and heartless in light of Trump’s immigration policy.

Bee took the criticism a step further, resorting to vulgar and personal attacks against the first daughter.

“You know Ivanka, that’s a beautiful photo of you and your child, but let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices you feckless c***,” she said. “He listens to you, put on something tight and low-cut and tell your father to f***ing stop it.”

Various media figures agreed that Bee went too far.

“To me, it was so jarring,” said NBC’s Megyn Kelly. “It was so jarring. To me, hate is hate, and I think she should be condemned for it, too. It’s not to word police. It’s just hate is hate is hate.”

Kelly also argued that Bee deserves to be condemned for her comment, just as comedian Roseanne Barr has been for her racially charged comment about a former Obama administration official.

CNN’s Poppy Harlow called Bee’s comments “over the line,” and “incredibly offensive.”

“It’s never OK to say that about someone,” Harlow said.

People on social media reacted as well, calling out the entertainment media for its double standard in light of Barr’s firing from ABC this week.

“Roseanne deserved to get fired for her comment,” wrote one social media user. “Samantha Bee called Ivanka a ‘c-‘ on air and Keith Olbermann routinely calls the President a ‘motherf***er’ Do you think either will get fired? Maybe see why so many Americans think there’s a double standard for liberals.”

“If this statement had been addressed to a child of a former president, Samantha Bee would be out of a job,” wrote another.

Bee’s segment attacking Ivanka has now been removed from the show’s official YouTube account.

TBS has not yet responded to the controversy or on whether any disciplinary action will be taken against Bee for her comment. (For more from the author of “Outrage Follows After Samantha Bee Launches Profane On-Air Attack on Ivanka Trump” please click HERE)

N.Y. News Attacks ‘Deplorable’ Ivanka

/0 Comments/in , /by

In its Tuesday cover story, the New York Daily News mercilessly ridiculed Ivanka Trump as “Daddy’s little ghoul” and called the first daughter “seemingly oblivious” because she made an appearance at the new U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem this week.

The Daily News cover featured a photo of Ivanka smiling and pointing her hand toward a wall. In the right corner, the paper included a photo of Palestinians killed at the Gaza border Monday. The cover, which appeared to suggest Ivanka was gleeful about the violence, stated: “Daddy’s Little Ghoul: 55 slaughtered in Gaza, but Ivanka all smiles at Jerusalem embassy unveil.” . . .

The story inside the paper doesn’t actually support the “ghoul” statement on the cover. Fox News reported, “The article is a straight-news story that doesn’t mention Ivanka until the fourth paragraph when it simply names members of the Trump administration who attended the opening.” The editorial page doesn’t include any mention of Ivanka, either . . .

Britt McHenry, a political commentator, told Fox News that the depiction of Ivanka on the Daily News cover is “reprehensible” and the paper labeling Ivanka a “ghoul” shows it lacks “any sort of decency.”

“It’s the same principle at work we saw with Michelle Wolf after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner,” McHenry told Fox. “The message is clear: It’s never OK to denigrate or make fun of women unless they are conservative or vote Republican. Then it’s ‘comedy’ or ‘journalism.’ Not only is the headline bad, but its unethical journalism to superimpose her next to the Gaza protests and mislead readers into thinking she was responsible for it.” (Read more from “N.Y.

Ivanka Trump Scolds NBC News for ‘Inappropriate’ Question About Her Father’s Sex Misconduct Accusers

/0 Comments/in , /by

First daughter Ivanka Trump scolded NBC and MSNBC reporter Peter Alexander for what she considered an inappropriate question about her father’s sexual misconduct accusers during an interview from South Korea on Monday.

The first daughter sat down with Alexander who, after a voice-over explaining that President Trump has denied accusations of sexual misconduct, asked, “Do you believe your father’s accusers?”

“I think it’s a pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter if she believes the accusers of her father when he’s affirmatively stated that there’s no truth to it. I don’t think that’s a question you would ask many other daughters,” Ivanka fired back. “I believe my father, I know my father.” . . .

One viewer tweeted, “Why even ask Ivanka Trump about the allegations of sexual misconduct against her Dad? What did Peter Alexander think she was going to say?”

Another viewer said, “The question was both crude and rude,” while many others pondered whether or not reporters would ask Chelsea Clinton a similar question about her father.

Citizens Demand Ivanka Trump Run for President After This Photo Emerges

/0 Comments/in , /by

A black and white photo of Ivanka Trump taken Thursday whipped Twitter users into a frenzy, with some suggesting the first daughter might make a good president herself someday.

The picture, captured by New York Times photographer Doug Mills, shows Trump — a senior White House adviser — walking across the tarmac after returning from a trip to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with her father.

The first daughter was wearing a black turtleneck and a calf-length wool coat, as well as a pair of pearl earrings, according to The U.K. Daily Mail.

It didn’t take long after the picture was posted for Twitter users to point out that Ivanka Trump looked “presidential.”

According to Michael Wolff — the author of Trump administration tell-all book “Fire and Fury” — Ivanka Trump may indeed have an interest in following in her father’s footsteps and running for president.

Wolff wrote that Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, have agreed that if there is an opportunity for either of them to run, she would be the candidate.

“Between themselves, the two had made an earnest deal: If sometime in the future the opportunity arose, she’d be the one to run for president. The first woman president, Ivanka entertained, would not be Hillary Clinton; it would be Ivanka Trump,” reads an excerpt from the book.

In the past, the first daughter has expressed mixed feelings regarding the idea of running.

“It’s not something I’ve ever been inclined to do, but I’m 34, so who knows?” she told Town & Country magazine in early 2016 after being asked if she had ever considered a career in politics. “At this point I would never even contemplate it, but that doesn’t mean that when I’m 50 I won’t have a change of heart.”

But in April 2017, when asked by CBS co-host Gayle King if she might run for president in 2024, Trump’s answer seemed definitive.

“No,” she said, according to The Hill. “Politics is a tough business.” (For more the author of “Citizens Demand Ivanka Trump Run for President After This Photo Emerges” please click HERE)

Trump on Monday spoke to high school students at the Norwalk Early College Academy, a program at Norwalk High School that allows students to earn a high school diploma and associate’s degree in software engineering.

Parents Upset Over Ivanka Trump’s Surprise School Visit

By Megan Trimble. A surprise visit from Ivanka Trump has reportedly left some parents of Connecticut high schoolers upset.

Trump, the president’s daughter and a senior White House adviser, earlier this week made an unannounced appearance at Norwalk Early College Academy at Norwalk High School. Local media reported the impromptu trip left parents upset, saying they should have been notified in advance that Trump would be at the school.

One parent, Karey Fitzgerald, told News 12 in Connecticut that she understood security concerns but would have appreciated being fully informed.

“This should have been brought to our attention, although I do understand security reasons,” she said.

Fitzgerald continued: “I think we should have had the choice to send our child to school or keep them home.” (Read more from “Parents Upset Over Ivanka Trump’s Surprise School Visit” HERE)
