White House senior adviser Ivanka Trump hit back at policies that progressive Democrats such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have proposed in an interview with Fox News Monday night.
When asked about how people would receive the Green New Deal or the federal jobs guarantee contained within it, Trump responded that she does not think “most Americans, in their heart, want to be given something.”
“People want to work for what they get,” Trump said, citing her time spent traveling around the country over the last four years. “So, I think that this idea of a guaranteed minimum is not something most people want.”
Trump continued by saying that people “want the ability to be able to secure a job.”
“They want the ability to live in a country where’s there’s the potential for upward mobility,” Trump said.

People born with silver spoons in their mouths should shut up about the people who do the actual work in this world.
Another born on third base.
Said the lady who’s been given everything. All her life.
Does Ivanka know how elections work ?
So says the woman from her patronage position inside the White House given to her by a man who was given everything he has by his father.
