Halsey Slams Insensitive Ivanka Trump Tweet
Yesterday, Ivanka Trump logged onto Twitter and thought it might be a good time to share a cute photo of herself and her son. But um, no. It was not a good time due to said photo coming amidst news that families are being separated at the U.S.-Mexico border-not to mention news that the Office of Refugee Resettlement "was unable to determine with certainty the whereabouts" of almost 1,500 children. So yeah. Not ideal timing.

The backlash to Ivanka's tweet has been predictably intense-and singer Halsey went ahead and joined in, tweeting "I wonder what #SundayMorning is like for the parents of 1500 lost children your father is responsible for. Fuck your #SundayMorning."

Isn't it the just the best to snuggle your little one -- knowing exactly where they are, safe in your arms? It's the best. The BEST. Right, Ivanka? Right? https://t.co/X79r8aWInc

Your post today is both profoundly inconsiderate and appalling. Being a part of the presidential family, regardless of your position in the White House, you are in a position of authority and power. How dare you post such a gloating image while hundreds of families get torn apart

Of all the days to do this. This beyond tone deaf. This is mean spirited white privilege on steroids #Resist https://t.co/TPpGxaVlDq

What an odd tweet in the middle of the horror going on with missing children ripped from their parents arms. How lucky you are to live in a bubble.

And where is your ❤️ for other families? Children being ripped away from their parents? Children here who are homeless? Families who cannot afford healthcare? Elderly afraid of what happens when DT and his cohorts cut Medicare? So great for you to lead your privileged life.
