Ivanka Trump’s Plea To Now ‘Move Forward In A Positive Way’ Goes Awry
Ivanka Trump faced accusations of hypocrisy for her farewell message in which she expressed hope that Americans can now find a positive way to move forward.
Twitter users were not buying the statement released on the social media platform Tuesday afternoon by President Donald Trump’s daughter and adviser, hours before President-elect Joe Biden took office.

“I hope and believe that America can move forward in a positive way, acknowledge our differences and find common ground — that is how we will remain the greatest nation,” wrote Ivanka Trump.
Critics reminded the outgoing president’s daughter that she initially described the U.S. Capitol rioters as “American Patriots” before deleting the tweet. Others recalled her father’s violent and divisive rhetoric, and cruel policies that she enabled via her position in the White House.

You won’t get a pardon mentioning Biden like that...

Thank you for demonstrating to the world why nepotism is bad.

"Dear Diary, it has been an honor to be the recipient of the world's longest bring-your-daughter-to-work-day. It was fun riding the planes, "governmenting" whatever that is, and helping dad release his Trump Care health plan (which killed 400,000)"

"It's not been quite the honor of a lifetime I'd hoped it would be when I pretended to serve as advisor to the President. I came to Washington to fight for self-aggrandizement. Daddy ruined that. I leave feeling I'm done." https://t.co/KHi4zDOwoA

Dear Ivanka,
It’s been horrible having you here. Although you’ve been just a couple of miles down the road, I could always feel your stone cold heart.
I look forward to defrosting the ice cold clutch your family has had on my city.
Don’t come back!

Hey, it's an administration resignation/goodbye letter that doesn't include the now standard "I was very disappointed with Trump's rhetoric in recent weeks" paragraph. https://t.co/HCVrkN0kRc
