Ivanka Trump got roasted on Twitter Monday night after declaring her support of the Time's Up movement.
The first daughter and White House adviser admitted in a hashtag-filled tweet that she didn't watch Oprah Winfrey's stirring Golden Globes address until Monday, but wholeheartedly endorsed her message. "Just saw @Oprah's empowering and inspiring speech at last night's #GoldenGlobes," she said. "Let's all come together, women and men, and say #TimesUp. #United." Time's Up was started this month to fight sexual harassment through legislation and a legal defense fund.
The responses to Ivanka's tweet were swift and angry. Several people tweeted photos of women who allege President Trump sexually harassed or assaulted them, and actress Alyssa Milano suggested Ivanka Trump "make a lofty donation to the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund that is available to support your father's accusers." Others told Trump she should listen to the tape of her dad bragging about grabbing women while on a bus with former Access Hollywood host Billy Bush, while model Chrissy Teigen simply said, "Ew, go away."

It was an equal opportunity dragging, with conservatives also piling on Trump. "This is the most hypocritical, clueless statement in her regrettable time in the WH," The Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin tweeted. "Your father has a trail of victims and supported Roy Moore, Ivanka. YOU are indeed part of the problem Ivanka. #complicit."
