Ivanka Just Tweeted in Honor of LGBT Pride Month—It Didn't Go So Well
Critics pointed out that President Trump has foregone the traditional Presidential decree on LGBT Pride Month. The same can no longer be said for his daughter, Ivanka Trump.
Roughly 15 hours ago, Ivanka Trump took to Twitter to do what her father has yet to do: issue a statement in regards to the month of June, which is also known as Pride month.
\u201cLogging back on after Shavuot, wishing everyone a joyful #Pride2017. This month we celebrate and honor the #LGBTQ community.\u201d— Ivanka Trump (@Ivanka Trump) 1496366497
And how did Twitter respond? As one might expect.
On the whole, the LGBT community that saw Ivanka's tweet felt that it was more lip service than anything else.
\u201c@IvankaTrump I'd thank you for your tweet but I'm kind of busy getting deprogrammed in conversion therapy.\u201d— Ivanka Trump (@Ivanka Trump) 1496366497

The ridicule, sarcasm, and vitriol continued.
\u201c@SphallSteve1245 @RichardGrenell @TracyEGilchrist @IvankaTrump She doesn't care.She picked a popular cause that she can't affect.All sound and fury from a do nothing#Lyingschmuck\u201d— Ivanka Trump (@Ivanka Trump) 1496366497
She followed the tweet immediately with another pro-LGBT tweet.
\u201cI am proud to support my LGBTQ friends and the LGBTQ Americans who have made immense contributions to our society and economy.\u201d— Ivanka Trump (@Ivanka Trump) 1496366555
The response to these words was similar to those previous.
\u201c@IvankaTrump Your LGBTQ friends?\u201d— Ivanka Trump (@Ivanka Trump) 1496366555

Heck, even the star of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt popped in to comment.
