Ivanka Trump: There’s ‘No Place for Racism, White Supremacy and Neo-Nazis’ in America
Fortune ^ | August 13, 2017 | by Sophia Rosenbaum

Ivanka Trump denounced the deadly violence in Charlottesville, Virginia — hours after chaos took over the streets during a white supremacist rally.

The First Daughter took to Twitter early Sunday morning to address the contentious series of events that unfolded over the weekend in Virginia starting on Friday, when a group of hundreds of white nationalists and neo-Nazis walked onto the University of Virginia's campus with torches.

"There should be no place in society for racism, white supremacy and neo-nazis," Trump tweeted. "We must all come together as Americans -- and be one country UNITED."

Good Grief! Saw the headline just now and was thinking the exact same thing clicking open the thread.

We should add ‘antifa’ to her list.

Ivanka and her husband are not impressive intellects. They are definitely NOT in tune with America. But they the President’s children and our American history is marked by many children of Presidents who did not meet public approval because they did not rise to the expectations of their parents.

So it’s no biggy in the bigger picture. In this case, Donald is in control.

We need clarity on this matter: Who was in VA?

Were they White Supremacists, Nazis and racists?

Or were they just normal American white people concerned about their heritage and their future?

We must know the truth and we must not let the media and the Democrats set the meme.

I fail to see anything the least controversial about her remarks, and I do not believe that anyone else on Free Republic should. Because she did not explicitly condemn BLM merely raises a false dichotomy.

When an evil killer runs a car into a crowd and he’s white the first thing the press does is connect him to every conservative group that’s ever expressed dissatisfaction with democrat victim groups and their tactics... In short the race card is played against all conservative Americans- for days... When a Muslim or Black person commits a hate crime the first thing the press says is, “ He doesn’t represent is group’... There is protection offer for the group.

Funny how even FOX bashes Nationalists while giving a free pass to leftist groups like BLM. It takes two to tango.

Hey is there a place in America for a President to take away the side arms from Military Recruiters in Tenn. Then have them slaughtered in cold blooded murder by a “lone wolf” who recently blogged;...”that Muslims should not miss an opportunity to submit to Allah.” Then have a President that refuses to fly the Flag at half mast.

OH, MY , that’s right it’s the same President that refuses to say Islamic Terrorists. Yeah, that’s the one.

“DD threw a badly timed log on the fire”

His comment was exquisitely timed. May that made up, surgically enhanced little demon rot.

And I say this as a native Virginian.

She did say that there”s no room for racism. Probably as close as she”ll get to naming BLM.

..but plenty of room for Black Panthers, BLM, Antifa, La Raza, Nation of Islam, CAIR...

When an evil killer runs a car into a crowd and he's white the first thing the press does is connect him to every conservative group that's ever expressed dissatisfaction with democrat victim groups and their tactics... In short the race card is played against all conservative Americans for days... a hatefeast happens in the press.

When a Muslim or Black person commits a hate crime the first thing the press states is, “ The killer doesn't represent the group’... The press offers protection for the group the killer might be identified with... Muslim, black, illegals, whatever... They do this every time.. except when the killer can be used to damage conservative Americans.

Then the press paints with a broad brush.

Hatred, bigotry, and violence are only roundly condemned by the press when the victim is a member of a democrat left-wing group and the killer can be used against Conservative Americans.It's sick of our hateful bigoted press to use their power in this way.

Yes, I condemn the killer. Yes, I condemn the KKK, and yes, I condemn the American press for ginning up hatred against my group: conservative Americans who NEVER would back a person running a car into citizens or any humans because of political differences.

I believe in free speech.

I do not believe in violence... by ANY group. Not the thugs at Berkeley, rioters in Baltimore, mass murderer at Fort Hood or the killer in Charlottesville. Hatred is hatred... and MSM one sided bias is evil...

Give President Trump, the First Lady, Vice President Pence, and now Ivanka CREDIT for CONDEMNING this horrible violence and putting the blame on ALL SIDES. Unlike former President Obama who let troubles fester.

Thank-you Ivanka.

If it rhymed it would be right up there with “Imagine. “ The mindless musings of a beauty pageant contestant.

Great post. Maybe you should write Ivanka’s press releases for her. Someone needs to.

Do liberals view Ivanka as one of them, or do they view her as a useful idiot to their cause, even if they share the same exact views?

screw her, seriously. what a self righteous liberal. I haven’t heard one word out of her elitist mouth about the knockout game or looting or rushing stores and customers in droves where they loot and destroy.

She is a MAJOR problem for the president’s direction and it’s clear to me why we’re not getting anything done because he’s pulled in all different directions and gives too much credence to flaming liberals.

Is Ivanka too naive or stupid to realize the left will throw her under the bus? Will Ivanka ever wake up or is she just going to stay in her elitist bubble with her man child husband?

Really? Where’s the “blame” for the peaceful protesters?

That they exercised their First Amendment rights?
