Ivanka Trump's Tweet Promoting Can of Goya Beans Sparks Major Backlash
Ivanka Trump has waded into controversy after she picked a side amid the 'Boycott Goya' movement, [...]
This one's got everything: the Trump family, using official office to promote a private business, rewarding political allies with business help from the White House. So much corruption in one post, and likely a violation of ethics rules.https://t.co/4mUoxeEA1I

prevnextAnyway, @realDonaldTrump & @IvankaTrump have now defended canned beans, but they have no interest in defending US soldiers from Russian bounties.

“Oh, don’t mind me! I’m just helping out Daddy and the CEO of Goya after he was trashed for supporting my conman father! I want to show the ‘latinos’ that we really care about them, which showing this can of BEANS just proves!”

prevnextI thought this was a joke. The WH has turned into The wheel of Fortune and she is Vanna White. Guess that makes sense since her father is taking advice from Chuck Woollery. This whole administration is an embarrassment and they don’t care what laws they break. Nov 3rd!!!!!

Why is a senior White House official endorsing a food product?

A serious question. Every incoming WH official gets an extensive ethics briefing on this rule. Did Ivanka Trump skip it, forget it or ignore it? https://t.co/8aK2rAJQXz

prevnextThank you to @ivankatrump for providing me with a picture/anecdote to use in my anti-corruption class this fall to demonstrate a flagrant violation of federal ethics laws. https://t.co/YMjGjygRwG

Ivanka is advertising beans.
Trump used the Rose Garden to campaign yesterday.
And now the CDC has to report COVID rates to the Trump regime, not the public.
Can we get some damn oversight please??

prevnext83% of American Hispanics disapprove of your father. The Goya CEO had to fawn all over him, saying how "blessed" we are to have such a great leader. It was a stupid business move and now their will be economic consequences. No more Goya for my household.

You do know you just violated the law, don't you? And that the statute of limitations just started running today? And the next president will be in office in less than a year? And that if it's not your dad, real prosecutors will enforce the law and fine you?

prevLadies and gentleman, a message from a senior White House advisor at one of the most tragic moments in America history.
I dont think I have seen anything since this nightmare began that more thoroughly underscores how unfit this entire Administration is to serve.
