Ivanka Trump, former first daughter and presidential adviser during Donald Trump’s presidency, released a quick response to her father’s indictment by a grand jury on Friday.
“I love my father, and I love my country,” she wrote. “Today, I am pained for both.
“I appreciate the voices across the political spectrum expressing support and concern.”
Ivanka’s comments was criticized heavily by political writers.
Insider’s article was titled, “Ivanka Trump offers up blandest statement possible about Donald Trump’s indictment.”
The story described her post as “a meager 27-word response to Donald Trump’s indictment by a Manhattan grand jury — the first time a former president has faced criminal charges.”
The Daily Beast referred to Ivanka’s article as a “Extremely Low Energy Statement in Support of Dad.”
A subtitle stated, “The former first daughter has broken her silence — barely.” The outlet — which makes no claims to objectivity — even plastered a comment in red, all-caps type saying, “GO GIRL, GIVE HIM NOTHING.”
The Beast referred to Ivanka’s comments as “vague” and stated that her Instagram image conveyed “a whole lot of nothing.”
“An aide told The Daily Beast that she would not be commenting beyond those 27 tepid words,” the outlet reported. “’That is all,’ the aide said.”
According to The New York Times, Ivanka’s comment stands in stark contrast to those of her brothers.
