Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) added her two cents to the controversy swirling around Ivanka Trump after a clip surfaced from the G20 summit in which the first daughter appears to be inserting herself into a conversation of world leaders, to the chagrin of some of those gathered.
It may be shocking to some, but being someone’s daughter actually isn’t a career qualification.
It hurts our diplomatic standing when the President phones it in & the world moves on.
The US needs our President working the G20. Bringing a qualified diplomat couldn’t hurt either. https://t.co/KCZMXJ8FD9

The White House responded to the criticism of Trump in a statement to the New York Times, calling the attacks “absolutely pathetic” and a “misrepresentation.”
Former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders also posted a statement, calling out Ocasio-Cortez for “wasting” her time on Twitter.
Phoning it in @AOC is wasting your time on Twitter while destroying jobs in NY. @realDonaldTrump & @IvankaTrump actually created millions of new jobs and continue to make the US stronger on the global stage but thank you for reminding Americans everyday why they elected Trump. https://t.co/uGN4GXgAsC

Watch the awkward moment here, via The Guardian:
Even worse, that “someone” is not qualified either.
Let us condescend together.
Good for AOC for pointing out what is obvious to some. And, Ivanka was in her little pink fru-fru dress with that blonde lanky hair that she needs to get over trying to talk to world class leaders. She has no class and she’s yet another embarrassment to our country. I picture the European leaders huddled together later, saying WTF is she doing here?
" ‘Being Someone’s Daughter Actually Isn’t A Career Qualification’ "
Tell that to Meghan McCain.
Sounded like she added as much substance to the conversation as her daddy ever does.
