[quote=Anonymous]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:

[quote]“His statements were mischaracterized as being a categorical attack on Hispanics,” Ivanka Trump said during her deposition when asked whether she had drafted a statement, according to the report. “And I felt that it was very important that he clarified the fact that that was not the case. He had not said that. He had not attacked Hispanic people. But that was the immediate narrative that had been spun.”

Trump said she wanted a clarification, not a retraction, from her father because she felt that his "comments were being misconstrued."

In the deposition, Trump was asked to share what her statement said.

"It said that I — it said — basically I was playing around with the idea of the fact that the media was spinning what he said to be about Hispanic people generally, as opposed to illegal immigrants, which he subsequently clarified on his own in countless interviews," Trump said. "And the fact that my father has a tremendous relationship with people of Hispanic descent." [/quote]  [url]http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/ivanka-trump-mexico-clarification-226980[/url]

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?[/quote]
