A video clip from the G-20 summit that led to widespread internet mockery of Ivanka Trump has the French government, which released the clip, taking an apologetic tone, Politico reported.
Amazing video of @IvankaTrump trying to butt in to actual world leaders’ conversation and their unconcealable irritation. pic.twitter.com/WuZfWpQpgA— Anand Giridharadas (@AnandWrites) June 30, 2019
The French government, according to an official, didn't realize the potential negative framing of the clip until it was too late. From Politico:
This particular one, the official said, "took place in the leaders' lounge right before the sessions on gender equality of which Ivanka was one of the keynote speakers, so it wasn't anything more than a moment of exchange like there were 100 more [of] with other leaders."
The official noted, however, that the clip was released at a time of "a larger narrative in the U.S. about Ivanka's diplomatic role and that goes beyond us, of course," but that it wasn't the French government's intention to feed into that narrative.
"We didn't anticipate the reaction, and once again, we are not responsible for the use made of the clip," the official said.
Despite being an advisor to the president, some observers were critical of her prominent role in the G-20 summit. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took one of the more high profile shots at the president's daughter on Twitter.
The article says that Ivanka was one of the keynote speakers. Enough said. The young female Democrat is jealous
