Not Even Ivanka Can Save the Nearly Half of Republicans Refusing to Get VaccinatedResistance to a coronavirus vaccine remains high on the political right, with yet another poll showing that nearly half of Republicans say they dont plan to get a jab. And not even the return of one of MAGA-worlds 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 Ivankas long record of questioning the science of lockdown measures and ignoring federal guidelines to avoid nonessential out-of-state travel. But of course, thats 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 photos 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.

(14,918 posts)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.

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

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.

Some times a snake in the grass is just a lanyard on the lawn.
At other times the snake is real, venomous and wrong.
