So apparently Ivanka drafted a statement following her father's statement that Mexico was sending us their rapists that defended her father. Though it was never used by the campaign, she was asked to describe it recently in a deposition involving the lawsuit involving Jose Andres dropping out of his agreement to be involved in the Old Post Office restaurant:
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/ivanka-trump-mexico-clarification-226980 In other words, she thought it was okay for her dad to say that the illegal immigrants coming in from Mexico were rapists. And note the grandiosity of "my father has a tremendous relationship with people of Hispanic descent" -- remind you of anyone? I had a lot of respect for Ivanka before this campaign because she avoided so many of the pitfalls of other rich kids and seemed like a decent person. But she clearly has her hands in pretty deep into the nutball policies and campaign of her father, and at some point I started to think maybe the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree. You can't be associated with this campaign and not be tainted. Same for Ryan and Prebius. Or can you? What do you think? |
| Same, but much worse for all of Hillary's cronies. I feel for Kaine. He doesn't deserve to be associated with her filthy habits. |
| Note to OP: all hispanics aren't alike and all aren't mexican |
Tell that to Ivanka! Donald made his statement about people coming from Mexico, but apparently her follow-up was focused on Hispanics! I was just following her own language. |
| I don't see anything wrong with this. Plus, who cares about Ivanka? Liberals have a hissy-fit if we question Hillary's ethics (or lack thereof) and yet level such ridiculous concerns about someone who isn't even a candidate. |
What are you talking about? She says in the last paragraph that the racist liberal media miscontrued her dads statement when they said it was aimed at all hispanics and that her dad clarified he meant illegal immigrants from mexico because the majority IS from mexico and that is what he initially said before the media skewed it. |
Unlike the Trumps, the Latino community actually does love the Clintons. |
| They are both wrong. The majority of illegal immigrants from Mexico aren't rapists or murders. More like, they are house cleaners, gardeners day laborers, and farm workers. Yes, there of course bad apples in the bunch, as there are all in any race, ethnic, religious groups. Please not, I am not advocating for illegal immigration. |
Can you stay on topic for a page or two? |
| Of course she tried to defend her father. But it's impossible to spin what Trump said. |
Your hatred is eating you up. Get some help before it devours you. |
Kaine willingly chose to be on the ticket. |
Exactly. This is what gets me about many Trump supporters, what Donald said was dumb and racist. He never apologizes for the things he says even when they are beyond the pale. Ivanka is very well spoken, but seriously, she's smart enough to realize that her father spouts off on any topic, including wanting to have sex with her. Basically these statements are indefensible and she should not try. P.S. PP, Hilary having a separate server was wrong. Her statements following the Benghazi attack were misinformed, but the attack and the outcome probably would have happened either way. I'm voting for her and I can assess her actions clearly. I can admit when she makes a mistake. Why can't you do the same of Trump and his supporters? |
The question is: Can you admit to her habitual lying? |
NP. I think factchecker found that HRC lies about the same rate as other politicians. IMO, lying goes hand in hand with being a politician. However, factchecker found that Trump's lies are through the roof. They've never seen anything like it in the past several years they've been doing this. http://www.factcheck.org/2015/12/the-king-of-whoppers-donald-trump/ "In the 12 years of FactCheck.org’s existence, we’ve never seen his match. He stands out not only for the sheer number of his factually false claims, but also for his brazen refusals to admit error when proven wrong. He is by no means the only one telling whoppers, of course. Once again this year there are plenty of politicians, in both parties, who hope voters will swallow their deceptive claims. Hillary Clinton, for one, said she was “transparent” about her use of a private email server, when in fact she wasn’t. That was one of the bogus claims she made about her unusual email arrangement while secretary of state. But Trump topped them all.. In past years, we’ve not singled out a single claim or a single person, and have left it to readers to judge which whoppers they consider most egregious. But this year the evidence is overwhelming and, in our judgment, conclusive. So, for the first time, we confer the title “King of Whoppers. [Trump]” It's quite a long list they've complied of his lies. |
