Ivanka Trump inexplicably gives convention speech mostly aligned with Hillary Clinton’s views [View all]

Ivanka Trump took the stage Thursday night at the Republican National Convention in order to introduce her father Donald Trump, the 2016 Republican nominee. She raised some eyebrows early on when she acknowledged that she’s not a Republican herself, even as she insisted that her dad would make the best President possible, most because of his behavior on construction sites. But the bizarre part: Ivanka spent the rest of her speech laying out liberal leaning views that sounded like they were taken right out of Hillary Clinton’s playbook, seemingly going against much of her father’s political views.

Ivanka spent significant time making the case for why women should receive equal pay, highlighting the wage discrepancy which the Republican Party officially refuses to admit exists. She then went on to more specifically state that motherhood is even more of a discriminatory factor than gender in the wage gap.

These are issues that Donald Trump has never once addressed during his campaign and doesn’t appear to believe in at all, as he’s spent his political career alternately claiming wages are either too high or too low in general, but he’s never addressed any women’s rights issue. It was enough to make one wonder if Ivanka Trump mistakenly thought she was giving a speech at the Democratic National Convention instead. She supports her father’s candidacy personally, but she doesn’t appear to support anything that he stands for politically.
