KEY POINTS

  • Ivanka Trump lambasted Rick Wilson and Wajahat Ali for mocking Trump supporters
  • The daughter of President Donald Trump was also attacked after calling the panelists 'disgusting'
  • Members of the media took to Twitter to criticize the POTUS and his actions

Ivanka Trump, just like President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, has become a favorite subject of criticisms since the start of her father’s presidency in 2017. The mom of three has been working hard to help the current administration as one of the POTUS’s senior advisers. Recently, the wife of Jared Kushner made it to the headlines again after she lambasted some members of a think tank on social media.

Rick Wilson and Wajahat Ali’s remarks, during a recent appearance on Don Lemon’s CNN “Tonight” show, did not sit well with Ivanka. Political Flare shared the two panelists described and copied what they believe a supporter of the Trump administration might think or sound like.

“Donald Trump’s the smart one — and y’all elitists are dumb!” Rick, a political strategist and media consultant, said on the program. “You elitists with your geography and your maps — and your spelling!” Wajahat, an award-winning playwright and journalist, chimed in. “Your math and your reading! All those lines on the map!'” Rick continued.

Ivanka Trump, obviously, was not pleased with Rick and Wajahat’s statements that she criticized them on Twitter. “You consistently make fun of half the country and then complain that it is divided,” Melania Trump’s stepdaughter wrote on Tuesday. “The arrogance, mocking accents and smug ridicule of this nation’s ‘Real Elites’ is disgusting,” she went on.

Netizens were, also, quick to react on Ivanka’s comment on Rick and Wajahat’s mockery. Critics of the Trump administration even took the opportunity to attack the first daughter.

“Remember when your dad mocked a person's physical handicap? Some grade A smug ridicule there,” American talk show host John Iadarola wrote. “And by the way, there were not mocking the country of half of it, they were mocking your father who clearly could not accurately identify 10% of the countries on a unmarked map. I bet he couldn't do the 50 states,” CNN political analyst Joe Lockhart said.

“President Trump has denounced the following types of Americans: Muslims, Jews, LGBTQ, immigrants, Democrats, people in cities, coasts, California, New York. He has called the vast majority of US not real Americans, but yet Republicans still playing the victim card,” economist David Rothschild added. “If irony wasn't already dead, Nepotism Barbie here just smothered it with a silk pillow with this tweet. Your father mocks Democrats, maligns journalists, and makes fun of people's looks and disabilities on a daily basis. GTFOOH, you feckless...” journalist Holly Figueroa O’Reilly responded.

Rick Wilson answered to Ivanka Trump’s tweet by posting a meme featuring some statements President Donald Trump during a talk with Billy Bush in 2015. “I didn’t try and f**k her. She was married. I moved on her like a b***h, but I couldn’t get there. She was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony t**s and everything. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p***y. You can do anything,” it read.

Ivanka Trump has yet to comment on these harsh remarks.
