Former White House Director of Legislative Affairs Marc Short reacted to reports that first daughter and White House senior adviser Ivanka Trump used private email for public business on Tuesday, saying the move certainly “appears hypocritical” before suggesting she didn’t behave as badly as, say, Hillary Clinton.

“It’s hypocritical and certainly it looks bad and I’m sure that the media will have a field day with it today,” he told CNN Tuesday. “I do think there are a couple important distinctions to make. One is that Hillary Clinton did delete over 30,000 e-mails, she had I.T. Specialists put a server in her home and there’s classified information as secretary of state that she put on there.”

CNN’s Alisyn Camerota pushed back on some of Short’s claims. Watch the exchange below:
