Where’s Ivanka?
by digby
People keep wondering why the allegedly empathetic first daughter, senior white house adviser and mother of three hasn’t had anything to say about children being ripped from their mothers’ arms at the border.
Well, she has been in California but she was too busy to visit the border area where they are imprisoning the kids:
President Donald Trump’s daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump was greeted by protesters in Fresno, California, on Monday as she arrived for a Republican fundraising event.
The Fresno Bee reported that one protester held two signs: One said ‘Trump is Nixon,” the other said “Trump-Nunes: It’s Mueller Time.”
The second sign refers to Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), a Fresno-area lawmaker who is reportedly one of the reasons the first daughter has chosen to make the trip for the fundraiser.
“I don’t think it’s really a surprise, particularly for Nunes, given that he’s been so loyal to the president,” Michael Evans, chairman of the Fresno County Democratic Party, told The Hill of her visit. “I think they would be viewing this as some sort of payback, but it does raise the question are they concerned about Devin Nunes election prospects this year.”
She’s rewarding Nunes for his “loyalty” to the president. (Most people would call him an accomplice but that’s another post.)
Ivanka is completely useless as a “moderating” force in the White HOuse. It’s obvious that she agrees with him.
I hope she enjoys spending the rest of her life hanging around Trump voters in places like Fresno because she is going to be shunned everywhere else.
I won’t use that other word, but I will call her a feckless con artist. She is.
