Ivanka Trump Posts Cuddle Pic With Son, Twitter Swiftly Reminds Her Of Missing Migrant Kids
As the media reverberated with stories about the 1,500 missing immigrant children rounded up by the federal government, Ivanka Trump decided to tweet a photo of herself Sunday cuddling her young son.
Twitter wasn’t having it.
Twitter users slammed Ivanka over her father’s policy enacted this month that separates undocumented immigrant children from their parents. They also reminded her of a Senate testimony last month that 1,500 migrant children placed in temporary homes by a federal refugee office are missing. The top federal official also testified that the government isn’t “legally responsible” for finding them.
Here’s a sampling of the responses to the first daughter’s tweet:
What an odd tweet in the middle of the horror going on with missing children ripped from their parents arms. How lucky you are to live in a bubble.

Too bad all mothers in America can’t enjoy the same.

The administration you work for and support is separating thousands of children from their parents. Some of the children lost in the system and probably settling in with traffickers. How tone deaf can you be? #WhereAreTheChildren

Must be nice to be with your ❤️ because there are parents of 1500 children who aren’t able to spend the rest of their Sunday mornings with their children in happiness instead they’ll be spending it mourning their lost and wondering if they’ll ever be able to see them again

Is this supposed to be a picture of pristine, white motherhood, to contrast with the little brown babies of refugees we're supposed to hate? White supremacist twitter sites are full of these images. Given the breaking news, I'm gonna bet this is an intentional dog whistle.

Hey! Maybe one of your most tone-deaf posts ever! And that’s saying something.

Why do you get to hold your baby while this woman's is ripped out of her arms? I would like to see your grandparents' immigration papers. How did they get here? What native American gave them permission to come to this land? #RomanoffFateComing pic.twitter.com/v7l4DL3Vgv

And where is your ❤️ for other families? Children being ripped away from their parents? Children here who are homeless? Families who cannot afford healthcare? Elderly afraid of what happens when DT and his cohorts cut Medicare? So great for you to lead your privileged life.
