After the horrific mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio over the weekend, politicians, pundits, and gun reform activists took to Twitter to spout the usual platitudes about thoughts and prayers, cowardly acts, and rejecting hate.
Among the chorus of voices was first daughter Ivanka Trump.
On Sunday, Ivanka tweeted: “As our nation mourns the senseless loss of life in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio and prays for the victims and their loved ones, we must also raise our voices in rejection of these heinous and cowardly acts of hate, terror and violence.”
She followed that up with a second tweet that said: “White supremacy, like all other forms of terrorism, is an evil that must be destroyed.”
How about we take this to the next level?

White supremacy, like all other forms of terrorism, is an evil that must be destroyed.

Needless to say, Ivanka’s call for white supremacy to be destroyed didn’t play so well with the masses.
And now, the responses…
Are you punking us right now?

This is like the horror movie where the entire audience knows the father is evil, but the daughter is too clueless to realize it.

I know he’s your dad, but it’s still illegal to threaten the President like that.

Please note Ivanka’s tweet received more likes than all the ones critical of her combined.
Cam
1. You’re lying.
2. We get it, you trolls can’t let ANYTHING from any of the Republican bigots go by without trying to deflect.
Hdtex
Please note, you’re a gigantic douchebag.
JamJewel
Out of 6.8 MILLION? she got 69 thousand LIKEs? and THAT is supposed to be indicative of ‘support?’ What’s that, 0.0101470588235294? of her “followers?” Bully for her!

“This is like OJ finding the real killer.”
Lol
Cam
So somebody who profits off of her family’s racism tried to jump in with a phony P.R. statement.

The killer in Ohio hated Trump. This is the typical liberal media trying to say Trump is a racist and that he wanted this things to happen. Where was the media when Obama had mass shootings?
Cam
1. This is the typical lie that the right wing always tries to come up with. NOTHING has been released about the Dayton murderers motives. Although he WAS able to buy an assault weapon legally so there is where the problem was.
2. The killer in El Paso WAS a Trump fan and cited Trump’s influence. Funny how you tried to leave that part out as you were desperately deflecting the topic away from Ivanka’s vacuous and meaningless P.R. attempts.

@Cam
False. The Texas shooter said he wasn’t influenced by Trump but that the media would claim he was and now it’s coming out that the owner of 8chan is saying someone else posted it
The deranged left, like Cam (also known as DCguy), uses these shootings to blame Trump. Although when a leftist does a shooting, they look the other way. For instance, that transgender who shot up his school saying he wanted to kill Christians or the Bernie supporter / avid Rachel Maddow fan who shot those Republicans at a baseball charity event.

Do you charge extra for swallowing?

Did you just crawl out from under a rock? The media was hysterical when there were mass shootings under Obama. The difference is that Obama didn’t spew rhetoric encouraging mass murders, Drumpf does. The media became apoplectic when Obama wore a tan suit during the summer. They were constantly going off the deep end about Obama over stupid crap. Meanwhile, this con man Drumpf has joked with one of his supporters who screamed out he wanted to shoot people at a rally; he has urged violence at others; he has praised white supremacists and neo-Nazis; and he encourages an endless atmosphere of divisiveness and brutality. He is a monster.
I was no fan of George W. Bush, until now the worst president in US history. But neither W. Bush, nor HW Bush, nor Clinton, Obama, Ford, even Raygun, etc., i.e., no president in my lifetime has ever used rhetoric or created an atmosphere that pits people against each other again and again like this monster. Drumpf refuses to reach across the aisle; he endlessly attacks the press, including his house propaganda unit FoxNews; he pimps the government as if it’s his personal piggy bank; he’s intellectually and physically lazy and incurious and spends most of his waking hours watching TV or golfing; he coddles homophobes, racists and other extremists; and he lies relentlessly. This country has seen nothing like it, and we had better get our acts together and impeach and vote his @ss out of there before we fail to have a country any more.

Sooooo, when is she going to destroy her father?
MISTERJETT
her father is the first evil white supremist that needs to just go away.

@truthseeker
A.) I love the ironic moniker
B.) The owner of 8chan is trying to save his entire livelihood in case you hadn’t noticed. He keeps hosting and posting murderous reich-wing manifestos over and over with each new reich-wing murder, so 8chan was de-platformed — TWICE.
The bish is just trying to remain alive (financially). Your Texas shooter boy did indeed hate Mexicans and “invaders”.
Also, the transkid who “shot up his school” didn’t pull the trigger; the other kid did.

@CarrieV
Most people don’t even know what 8chan is and think it’s 4chan. Plus, how could the owner of 8chan be keeping himself alive financially when 8chan makes no money

Samantha Bee was right. Ivanka is feckless.

Just like her father: vacant &lifeless . She’s the child he said he would date, if she wasn’t his daughter. CREEPY lineage- to say the least. Her heinous “father” is a PATHOLOGICAL liar, a con man, a morally & ethically bankrupt shyster. A Neo-NAZI Authoritarian, dictatorial, FASCIST megalomaniac ; a deluded, lazy, bloated,gross, CORRUPT, crooked, criminal charlatan. She & her brothers Eric & Don ,Jr. are pieces of work themselves.
