President Donald Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, senior aide at the White House, called the protesters who invaded the U.S. Capitol and caused violence as “patriots,” but quickly removed the controversy. A whopping four people died in the protests.
On the 6th (local time), Ivanka tweeted, “American patriots. No security breach or disrespectful attitude towards law enforcement is tolerated. Violence must stop,” he wrote. It was a retweet of a message from his father, President Trump, asking the protesters to “be in peace.”
In disagreement with the results of the presidential election, Ivanka quickly deleted the tweet after controversy about referencing those who blocked the final confirmation process of Joe Biden’s victory with violence as’patriots’. However, the tweet had already been captured. US citizens shared on Twitter, saying, “I deleted Bancar, but here is the picture.”
CNN reporter Kate Bennett asked Ivanka, “Is the protesters’patriots’?”, and aide Lee Bangka said, “No. The peaceful protests are patriotic.”
On that day, pro-Trump protesters entered the Capitol to prevent a joint meeting of the Senate and House of Representatives to certify the presidential election of Democratic Democrat Joe Biden. The lawmakers, frightened by the protesters’ threatening actions, such as breaking the conference hall windows, took refuge under the chairs. Four protesters were killed and 52 were arrested by police shots.
President Trump urged the protesters to “go home” 90 minutes after the lawmakers evacuated, but “I love you. I know your pain. “We have a stolen election,” he faced accusations that he encouraged protests.
