‘She enables actual Nazis’: Internet rips CNN puff piece calling Ivanka the ‘most powerful Jewish woman’

(EXCERPT)

CNN on Friday published a glowing piece about Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump, who converted to Judaism before she married top White House adviser Jared Kushner. In the piece, CNN’s Maeve Reston and Betsy Klein argued Ivanka is “the most powerful Jewish woman in America today,” noting she observes Shabbat and posts pictures on Instagram about her Jewish faith.

The Internet was not having CNN’s interpretation of Ivanka as “the most powerful Jewish woman,” listing off such monolithic female figures as chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve System Janet Yellen, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and even actress Fran Drescher.

Of course CNN thinks the most powerful Jewish woman in America is someone whose power rests solely in her relation to a man.

The logical sequence of that CNN piece:

Ivanka Trump is the first daughter
She’s Jewish
THUS she’s America’s most powerful Jewish woman?

Ruth Bader Ginsburg – Elena Kagan – even Barbra or Bette : Ivanka is a poser: this is insulting to Jewish women everywhere- myself included

Ivanka Trump is Americas most powerful Jewish woman the same way ham, Swiss and mayo on a croissant is the most jewish sandwich at the deli.
