"So so disappointed in you!" , "How could you." GOP response to Ivanka getting vaxxed

Not Even Ivanka Can Save the Nearly Half of Republicans Refusing to Get Vaccinated

Resistance to a coronavirus vaccine remains high on the political right, with yet another poll showing that nearly half of Republicans say they don’t plan to get a jab. And not even the return of one of MAGA-world’s most beloved bit players can convince them otherwise.

On Wednesday, after months of self-imposed silence, former first daughter Ivanka Trump emerged on Twitter to post a photo of herself receiving the vaccine and encourage others to follow suit. The tweet comes amid Ivanka’s long record of questioning the science of lockdown measures and ignoring federal guidelines to avoid nonessential out-of-state travel. But of course, that’s not what the right took issue with.

“So so disappointed in you!” one Twitter user responded, adding sad emoji faces. “How could you.” It was part of a flood of tweets expressing apparent betrayal. Others poured in with conspiracy theories questioning both the photo’s timing and its authenticity. “Does anyone really believe that she JUST got the shot? #OldPhoto,” read one tweet.

“Bill Gates is tracking you now,” another, falsely, claimed.

CNN went to a diner in Oklahoma and interviewed Trumpies. When told that trump took the vaccine, one of them actually said “why should I listen to a liberal from New York (trump).

The willfully ignorant, however, seem ready to burn her at the stake over her personal health decision.

Every bit helps, even if only a few people respond positively to her example. Ivanka is smart enough to know that it is her own self interest (and everyone else's) to achieve herd immunity ASAP.

Nurse Torres? It's great that she has an "ethnic" name, we can really use that, but we don't want anyone tooooo dark okay? As long as she can still "pass."



Fuck Princess. She gets no credit for trying to wash the stench off of her brand - because that is ALL she is doing.

so she doesn't scare the white people.



The ONLY thing princess is doing here is trying desperately to wash the stench off of her brand.

The end. She'll get NO credit from me. This is a self-serving stunt for the benefit herself and nobody else.

This must be part of the reinvention PR move announced recently.

Anti-vaxers are flakes and snakes.
Some times a snake in the grass is just a lanyard on the lawn.
At other times the snake is real, venomous and wrong.

So great! Remember when your family called it a "hoax" and intentionally let it spread so you could "blame blue states" and now nearly a million Americans are dead? Good times
