First daughter Ivanka Trump's
harsh statement about Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore drew some
backlash from Breitbart this week.
Breitbart editor-in chief Alex Marlow said the first
daughter and adviser should stay quiet, especially given the allegations
against her father.
On Thursday’s edition of SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Daily, he implied that it wasn’t Ivanka’s place to comment.
“Right, especially when there's been so many allegations against President Trump," he said.
Read Marlow's full remarks, as noted by Media Matters:
ALEX MARLOW: Ivanka [Trump] made a very strange
statement because she came out, with guns ablazing saying there's a
special place in hell for child predators and that she believes the
accusers. But she also -- she didn't say that Roy Moore needs to step
aside. So, she didn't do that, because President Trump hasn't called for
that. So, I'm guessing she's going to take some heat from the left
also. So again, were we really dying for Ivanka's opinion on this? Can
we not get Ivanka's opinion on some of these things? Can she just go
work on her tax thing that she's working on and just leave us alone? But
Mike, go ahead.
CALLER: Well, when Donald was being accused of
these things where there was definitely more proof and more opportunity,
where was she then? But now she's all outraged by Roy Moore. I don't
know why she just doesn't keep quiet.
MARLOW: Right, especially when there's been so
many allegations against President Trump, I don't know why the daughter
of President Trump who has been accused by [attorney] Gloria Allred and
some dozen, maybe two dozen, women over the years doing something
inappropriate, and nothing's ever come of that. So why does Ivanka want
to continue to pile on? I don't know. I think that she just loves
getting her name out there in the headline and they can put more photos
up. So that's her ammo.
Ivanka Trump spoke out on the allegations against Moore in an interview with the Associated Press earlier this week.
“There’s a special place in hell for people who prey on children,” Ivanka Trump said. “I’ve yet to see a valid explanation, and I have no reason to doubt the victims’ accounts.”
Moore has been accused of having
a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl when he was 32 years old.
Since that initial report, several other women have come forward saying
Moore pursued relationships with them when they were teenagers.
President
Donald Trump has yet to directly address the allegations, but several
Senate Republicans are calling for Moore to drop his bid.
