Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is criticizing President Trump for bringing his daughter and White House adviser Ivanka Trump to the Group of 20 (G-20) Summit, saying it “hurts our diplomatic standing.”
“It may be shocking to some, but being someone’s daughter actually isn’t a career qualification,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Saturday following this year’s summit in Japan. “It hurts our diplomatic standing when the President phones it in & the world moves on.”
“The US needs our President working the G20. Bringing a qualified diplomat couldn’t hurt either,” she added.

This was a huge mistake because many people compared her previous job that has nothing to do with politics!
British journalist Piers Morgan amongst others:
”Could be worse … Ivanka could have been a bar-tender 18 months ago,” Morgan, the winner of “The Celebrity Apprentice” in 2008, wrote Sunday in response to Ocasio-Cortez ’s tweet.
The first-term House member tended bar and worked as a waitress at a restaurant in Union Square before her stunning defeat of incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley in the June 2018 Democratic primary race.
Other Americans decided to attack her:
But somehow serving beer is a qualification to have a career in politics.

She has done tremendous work for women all over the world. Maybe you could table your personal jealously for a minute.

Great point chica! I partially agree w you! @IvankaTrump lacks the world experience which can only be acquired serving tacos and tequila shots to strangers! If only she had that she would then be fully qualified to sustain diplomatic conversations on the world stage! #G20Summit

Being the daughter of a billionaire and President of the United States is a hell of a lot better qualification than being a socialist bartender.

Maybe next time she will think twice before saying something stupid!
