In January, Samantha Bee inducted President Donald Trumps adviser Kellyanne Conway to the Great Feminists in Feminism Herstory Hall of Lady Fame. After Ivanka Trumps latest White House promotion, the Full Frontal host is ready to welcome a new entrant.
Wishful thinkers are hoping [shell be a] secret progressive buddy, Bee quipped. Indeed, some in the media have even suggested that the first daughter will make climate change her signature issue after meeting twice with Leonardo DiCaprio.
But as the Full Frontal host observes: Meeting with Leo DiCaprio is not a sign that you care about climate change, its a sign that you were a teenager in the 90s.
As for Ivanka organizing a summit between her father and Al Gore, Bee is certain shes not going to convince her dad climate change isnt a Chinese hoax.

Listen to her talk, even her speaking voice is part of her image.

(24,461 posts)Ever see her on CNBC or Faux? She's a bootstrapper and a "class envy" spewer who could give a shit about the plights of the poor. Magically, all footage of her on CNBC that could be deemed negative toward the middle/working/poor has been scrubbed. Guess what, I watch that station a lot and she was on there a lot prior to her dad's "Hold My O'Douls" moment that we're sadly all paying for. I heard her boilerplate Republican comments on why raising the minimum wage "could be damaging to the very people it's trying to help".
Also, not very "progressive" on maternity leave or gender equality.

(9,350 posts)Notice how in the Tucker Carlson interview she did not answer the question when Carlson asked her if she had any friends who had voted for Obama, but later regretted that decision. She just continued with saying the rhetoric coming from the Obama White House was misguided. I think that tells you her and Carlson's did not have the facts to back up their talking points.

(9,350 posts)You/she does not have to tell me that twice. I have never bought into this idea that Jared and Ivanka Kushner were secret liberals. They seemed to be the ones pushing the most right wing agenda of the group. They were not acting as a check on Trump; they were just trying to have things both ways. Pushing a right wing agenda while not being punished by liberals.
