Is it the role of a network host to call out Ivanka Trump by name to pay for the visit of a heroine of the left? Alisyn Camerota apparently thinks so.
Interviewing Lilly Ledbetter today, whose failed pay-discrimination lawsuit led to the passage of the Fair Pay Act named in her honor, Camerota mentioned that Ledbetter had reached out to Ivanka Trump. Ledbetter said that Ivanka had responded saying she’d be glad to meet, but that Ledbetter hasn’t been able to get to DC to meet because “I don’t have the financial situation to buy a plane ticket and stay a couple of days in Washington.”
That’s when Camerota got on her platform:
“Hopefully, Ivanka Trump if she’s listening, or the message gets to her, they can find the financial means for you to come so that you and she can have that important conversation.”

Call me cynical, but even assuming Ledbetter can’t afford to travel to DC to meet Ivanka, surely there are all sorts of labor/progressive groups that could easily pay for her trip. Could it be that the left doesn’t want Ivanka to have the meeting with Ledbetter, and the photos and positive coverage that would go with it?
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Camerota has gone full libtard, her contract negotiations must be upcoming and she wants to ingratiate herself with the network Lefties.
I kind of like Alisyn when she was at Fox. Is she now toeing the line where she works, or are her true colors showing?
If it’s that important to whatshername maybe she could ante up a little “means” herself, being the highly paid network news star that she is...
So silly. Lilly should have bought plane tickets - to the Bahamas, if not to visit Ivanka Trump - instead of plastic surgery. Good haircut, though.
gimme gimme gimme...
Why not ask Tom Steyer to pay?
She called Trump despicable for not responding to Jonathan Karl’s rude questioning about McCain’s death, during a photo op where questions were not allowed. Of course, the president was right to keep silent, as anything he would have said would have resulted in a flurry of follow up questions.
I hate the media....
Much more interested in her distant kin, Marcel Ledbetter. Buddy of Jerry Clower!
Fawning? It will be a slobber-fest.
More importantly, this is all very strategic politically, IMO. The corrupt MSM is going to build up RBG to the status of Mother Teresa with the sole purpose of setting the stage for when she does go, or expire, making it as politically difficult as possible for Trump to replace her with anyone but a raging leftist.
Call me cynical, but I see this as a ploy as setting the stage for a call-to-arms for the left. Everyone knows she is old and frail so if they can get public opinion to believe that this is "the liberal seat" and that any nominee should, honor the tradition of "St. Ruth of the Left," then they have accomplished their primary mission.
She's a snarky, smug far-leftie at CNN.
Oddly, they have managed to forget who the first woman on the USSC was, and who appointed her.
If camelotta really cared, she’d pay for it. C en en pays her plenty.
Alisyn is competing with Mika in the Dumbest Morning Newsreader Olympics.
“The corrupt MSM is going to build up RBG to the status of Mother Teresa with the sole purpose of setting the stage for when she does go, or expire, making it as politically difficult as possible for Trump to replace her with anyone but a raging leftist.”
Great analysis.
I liked her too, at Fox.
But she’s gotten so much less attractive as a hateful liberal.

Ivanka: “Oh? I could pay if the boycott of my clothing line by the left, and promoted by leftist media, hadn’t been so successful.”
Thus proof liberalism is ugly. It rots to the bone.
