After Ivanka Trump was harassed by a man on a JetBlue flight, prominent liberals took to Twitter to try and dissuade the public from feeling sympathy for the 31-year-old mother of three.
Dan Goldstein chased Ivanka down specifically to harass her, according to his husband, Matthew Lasner, who bragged about the harassment ahead of time.
Despite the fact that Lasner announced the harassment ahead of time, some liberals still tried to cast doubt on the story’s veracity or urged against sympathy for Ivanka.
The Guardian’s Jessica Valenti, who routinely speaks out against harassment of women, thinks Ivanka should have been able to “handle” the harassment, which she referred to as “criticism.”
Actress Reagan Gomez suggested people shouldn’t feel bad for Ivanka because she flew commercially, rather than on a private jet, later suggesting the whole thing was a “stunt” Ivanka pulled for her “daddy.”
Imani Gandy, a legal analyst for left-wing website Rewire News, also cast doubt on the harassment victim, suggesting the whole thing was a “stunt” meant as a “distraction from some impending Christmas fuckery” by President-elect Donald Trump.
Shanica Johnson, a producer for CBS News, also attempted to cast doubt on the fact that Ivanka was harassed. “We’re supposed to believe that Ivanka Trump was in a middle seat on a jet blue flight in coach?” she questioned.
Author Tariq Nasheed also suggested that the incident was orchestrated by the Trump camp, writing: “the gay person who allegedly harassed wealthy Ivanka Trump on a cheap ass Jet Blue flight, just HAPPENED to be a Hillary supporter too?”
Ira Madison, a writer for MTV News, questioned why Ivanka wasn’t flying in more expensive style.
“Why is Ivanka Trump flying in a Jet Blue seat I can afford?” he asked, later calling the whole thing a “scam” because Ivanka wasn’t using her father’s private jet.
Kaivan Shroff, who worked as a digital organizer on the Hillary Clinton campaign according to his Linkedin, similarly cast doubt that the harassment was, in fact, harassment, claiming Goldstein simply was “informing Ivanka Trump her dad is ruining the country.”
How many people in 1st class are paying extra just so they don’t have to sit near a 5 year old, a 3 year old and an 8 month old?
Probably ALL of them!
So, Ivanka did the right thing going into coach class.
This gay couple planned their attack on her, even tweeting it out in advance.
Now the teacher half of the couple has deleted his twitter acct.
His boss, a college, has deleted his profile on its web site.
I hope they pay more than this.
Typical liberal. No class, no brain.
If she had flown a private jet the progressives liberals would have been all over her. She and her family fly coach and it is the same.
This election has brought out that liberals have no honor or integrity and their values are suspect . Anyone who supports the deviant treasonous criminal needs to reassess themselves. Then we have the snowflakes who don’t have a clue about anything and follow along like good little puppy dogs.
Yep this election has shown the true colors of liberals and brought the communists out of the closet. We dodged a bullet, a big bullet.
The male couple (and one of them’s child) were politely escorted off the airline and offered a seat on the next flight.
They termed this “we got kicked off the plane,” and fought it!
The irony and cognitive dissonance happens when you consider:
Daniel is a litigator of sexual harassment lawsuits. As such he should have recognized the glaring inconsistency of balking at being kicked off the flight for “expressing his opinion” while simultaneously demanding that a woman be kicked off the flight because she didn’t share his opinion.
Oh, well.
Liberals have no problems with such mental gymnastics.
I hope his wife files for a divorce takes the kids away and leaves this jerk crying big fat tears in a back alley in a cardboard box with rats biting him and punks beating the snot out of him
