‘My Daddy Is Super Racist but Here’s a Tweet’: Internet Slams ‘Nepotism Ivanka’ for ‘Tone-Deaf’ Juneteenth Remarks
Social media users are not happy with First Daughter Ivanka Trump’s Juneteenth tweets.
Let #Juneteenth 2020 serve as a day of reflection, acknowledgement and education as we work to better inform ourselves, fight to remove unjust barriers to true equality and achieve the full realization of our founding ideals!

Ivanka Trump is not just the First Daughter, she is a senior White House official who is working to achieve President Donald Trump’s agenda – an agenda many believe is racist, so her attempt to honor Juneteenth is seen as hypocritical.
This popular Twitter commentator summed up what many were saying:
“My daddy is super racist but here’s a tweet.”

More responses to Ivanka Trump’s tweets:
Girl, your ability to be completely tone-deaf when it comes to how you are perceived, and how your family is perceived is honestly astounding.#STFUIvanka

Let juneteenth remind you that you can be a super qualified, super competent POC but you will still come second to a unqualified white and/or nepotism hire like ivanka.

Are you really this tone deaf?
Your father’s campaign put out an ad with an actual Nazi symbol.
He put a full page ad calling for the execution of the Central Park 5

Your father is working – and you’re helping him – to keep and strengthen those unjust barriers, so how about you shut the fuck up? https://t.co/So1ZoAjkxM

On Juneteenth do you take an oath to never again gas and shoot at Black Lives Matter protestors so you can take a staged campaign photo? That would be a good start @IvankaTrump

I’m reflecting on how your family fought in court to keep black people out of your buildings. https://t.co/TAMSKeifUm

Your dad lost two cases this week based on his fight to deprive people of their rights. One case he argued that a gay man should be fired just because he played on a softball team. Your campaign had ads removed from Facebook because he disseminated nazi symbols to millions. STFU.

Remember that time there were thousands of peaceful protesters fighting to remove unjust barriers and, as Sr. Advisor to the President, you orchestrated a plan for militarized police in riot gear to tear gas them out of the way for your dad’s photo op? We do. pic.twitter.com/ccrhLLlsuV
