Ivanka Trump was the latest high-profile woman to praise Oprah Winfrey’s stirring Golden Globes speech, but her Monday evening tweet was met with strong backlash.
Calling Winfrey’s speech that cited the #TimesUp movement “empowering” and “inspiring,” the first daughter’s tweet was met by an onslaught of anger.
“Great! You can make a lofty donation to the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund that is available to support your father’s accusers,” tweeted actress Alyssa Milano.
While another tweeted, “Say #timesup to your father. Hypocrite.”
Some saw hypocrisy in Ivanka Trump’s praise since her father, President Donald Trump has been accused of sexual harassment and misconduct by 17 women — he has consistently denied the accusations.
Others pointed out the irony of the first daughter’s belated praise for the speech given the talk that Winfrey might consider challenging her father for the presidency in 2020.
Just saw @Oprah's empowering & inspiring speech at last night’s #GoldenGlobes. Let’s all come together, women & men, & say #TIMESUP! #United https://t.co/vpxUBJnCl7

A number of celebrity Twitter users skewered Trump, with Alyssa Milano tweeting, “You can make a lofty donation to the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund that is available to support your father’s accusers,” and Chrissy Teigen chiming in with an “ew go away.” Longtime Trump foe and prolific Twitter user Rosie O’Donnell also responded, tweeting “time is up vanky for u – daddy and jared – oprah knows – so do we … awaken child – now or never.”
Here are some of the reactions that includes the names of Donald Trump’s accusers.
