When it comes to writing insincere and tone-deaf tweets, Ivanka Trump is always reliable. In fact, it might be what she does best.
Yesterday, the first daughter, who refuses to share any of her six toilets with her security service detail, gave a little shoutout to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on her Twitter page.
“Today, we honor the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,” she wrote, along with an inspirational quote from the Civil Rights leader.
Ironic coming from someone who, just last week, called white supremacists/insurrectionists “American Patriots” and who’s father/boss has spent his presidency cozying up to racists.
Today, we honor the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits.” -MLK, Jr. #MLKDay pic.twitter.com/BiKpvRhCop

Ivanka’s tweet yesterday was one of many exceptionally bad ones as of late.
Last weekend, she tweeted about all her various non-accomplishments over the past four years in a clear attempt to rewrite history and distract from the fact that she aided and abetted the absolute worst president in American history.
Many of her tweets are about all the great jobs she’s created, as well as the amazing programs she’s built for apprenticeship opportunities for hard-working Americans. Never mind the fact that employers cut roughly 140,000 jobs just last month and the economy is in the toilet.
We established a public-private sector workforce policy advisory to rethink how we prepare ALL Americans for the jobs of today and tomorrow.
Together, we created a massive ad campaign to increase awareness of the multiple pathways to good-paying jobs. pic.twitter.com/SZniGW4cUO

She’s also been tweeting about all the starving families she’s delivered meals to through the Farmers to Families food program. Never mind the fact that those families wouldn’t be starving if it weren’t for the Trump administration’s mismanagement of the coronavirus pandemic and recovery efforts.
Today, our Farmers to Families ??? Food Box program will roll out Round 5 adding $1.5 Billion of new funding. Created to fed hungry Americans during the pandemic, F2F has fed over 3.3 Billion families in need nutritious, locally-sourced food fresh from America’s small farms. ?? pic.twitter.com/yXGUdKd0yT

Yesterday’s MLK Jr. tweet was like a cherry on top of all Ivanka’s disingenuous and self-aggrandizing tweets we’ve been subjected to these past four years.
And now, the responses…
Your daddy/husband is a racist, Princess.
He’s a birther who put a full page ad in a newspaper calling for the execution of the now exonerated Central Park 5.
He told AMERICAN Congresswomen of color to “go back to their countries”.He’s everything MLK fought AGAINST.
So don’t.

And how exactly are you honoring him? With a day of service? By apologizing for your father’s long history of racism, from his rental practices to the Central Park Five to lying about Barack Obama’s birth?
Or will you just be tweeting this?

The fact you made the Secret Service rent a toilet shows this statement means nothing!

Men like your racist daddy and his monstrous base murdered him.

It would’ve been better and more genuine if you had not posted anything about MLK. But this tone deafness is also very on-brand with you.
