Ivanka Trump has joined the chorus of voices expressing heartbreak over the deadly mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio this weekend, with at least 29 people being reported killed.
On Sunday morning, the first daughter and senior White House adviser sent a tweet blasting the “heinous and cowardly acts of hate, terror and violence.” She then called for God to “hold” the shooting victims and their loved ones “tightly in his loving arms.”

The nation grieves two mass shootings that occurred hours apart in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.
But her message had critics accuse her of being “complicit” and called her to resign from the White House. Many cited her father ’s anti-immigrant statements as fueling the El Paso shooter’s alleged white nationalist beliefs and demanded stricter gun control legislation.
While the majority of comments were critical, Trump did receive some support.
Trump went on to denounce white supremacy in a follow-up tweet shared a few hours after her original posts.

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

What a phony feckless complicit bitch you are.
She tweets, instead of getting on a plane, donating blood, grieving with the families and actually doing something.
Tweets out insincere garbage just to avoid getting anything done, just like her Dad. She is a mercenary playing both sides against her inheritance.
If she were a truly decent person she would get some help for her father, give up her position covering for him playing an unknown role labeled as an "advisor". What responsible elected official takes advice and counsel from someone with no political experience, no job related experience and no collected years of life experience? The whole thing is a sham.
"Hopes and Prayers for the victims of El Paso......"
"Now then, enough of that crap, what's the status of my licensing agreement with China?"
You first, Baby Doll. Tell your daddy that when he doesn't stop people from saying "Send her back" at his rallies or laughs when somebody at his rally yells "Shoot them!" in response to his question on what to do about immigrants....that this is HIM! It's what he has wrought!
