President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump faced a backlash on Thursday over a tweet she posted about Women’s History Month.
The White House adviser hailed the March celebration of “women’s incredible contributions to our Nation” with this post:
As we celebrate #WomensHistoryMonth we reflect on women’s incredible contributions to our Nation. We honor women’s legacy of achievements—from pioneering innovations & strengthening our communities to leading in business & politics. Women write America’s proud & thriving history.
— Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) March 1, 2018
But the comments were not well received as many respondents pointed out her father’s historically degrading attitude toward women:
And your legacy? Do you think about that? Where, WHERE, are the women you have championed and empowered? Wouldn’t ONE of them have come out to talk about how you have improved her life by now. You don’t get to “champion” this month. You are complicit in this administration.

Another vapid word salad from the whisper grifter.

Are you in a parallel universe from your father? Have you been alert and aware of anything he's done in the last 25 years when it comes to women? you need to just stop.

I call BS! You played the daughter card when asked about daddy's dalliances. You have no standing in history of accomplished women. #RESIGN #TrumpCrimeFamily

Contributions and achievements that your father is working to strip away. I get that you have no influence on your father on women's issues but by staying you are complicit (google the definition). You yourself pay meager wages to women overseas - not celebrating them much.

YOUR WORDS MEAN NOTHING VANKA.

You mean like record-breaking Women's March in protest of your father being inaugurated? You mean like the record numbers of women running in the mid-terms to take down the GOP, who are the guard dogs for your father & the Trump Cabal? Yeah...we are writing a special history now

Who do you mean by “we?” Apparently you don’t believe your father’s accusers who are women! Who do you honor? PLEASE tell America the women that made a difference for this country and I’m not talking about your stepmother either!

And we also strip away their rights to make choices about their own healthcare and continue to pay them less on the dollar than men for doing often times better work! What a way to honor them!
