Ivanka Trump Gets A Blunt Reminder Of Her Own Complicity After ‘Free Speech’ Call
Twitter users pointed out Ivanka Trump’s rank hypocrisy when it comes to free speech after she railed against being removed as a main speaker at WSU Tech in Kansas’ virtual commencement on Saturday.
“Our nation’s campuses should be bastions of free speech,” tweeted President Donald Trump’s daughter and adviser on Friday, alongside a video of the address she’d pre-recorded for the ceremony.
“Cancel culture and viewpoint discrimination are antithetical to academia,” she added. “Listening to one another is important now more than ever.”
Here is the message I recorded on May 18th for the Graduates of WSU-Tech. I know that all of these talented graduates will dream big and aspire to make the world a better place!

Critics, however, reminded Trump of her father’s violent and divisive rhetoric about anti-racism demonstrators who are protesting nationwide.
Many noted her reported involvement when federal authorities on Monday used tear gas to clear peaceful protesters from near the White House so that the president could pose with a Bible in front of St. John’s Church. The stunt has been widely condemned.
Your father tear gassed people exercising their right to free speech.
Take a seat. https://t.co/tYaqgghPV1— Bill Prady (@billprady) June 6, 2020
So should our streets, but nooo, you and daddy gas protesters so he can do a photo-op. Suck it up, buttercup! https://t.co/TMJkMcsXBd
