Ivanka blasted as hypocrite for celebrating Alaska win but calling for investigation of states her father lost
First daughter rejected projections that Joe Biden won the White House
Ivanka Trump has been blasted as a hypocrite for celebrating her father’s Alaska win but calling for investigations of states that he lost.
Ms Trump took to twitter to celebrate the state and its three electoral college votes being called for the outgoing president by media organisations on Tuesday.
Political observers were quick to point out that while Ms Trump accepted the Associated Press projecting the state for Republicans, she has rejected the same organisation declaring Joe Biden the president-elect.
“President Trump and Senate Republicans win Alaska, overwhelmingly and by a massive 20 point spread!” Tweeted Ms Trump.
“Put AK in the books for @realDonaldTrump!” She added.
Mr Trump and his family have refused to concede the election despite Mr Biden winning the 270 electoral college votes he needs for the White House.
GOP operatives have filed a string of lawsuits over alleged ballot tampering in battleground states but have had zero legal victories or produced any substantive evidence for their claims.
ABC News reporter Will Steakin took to Twitter to point out that the Associated Press “also called the entire election for Joe Biden.”
Following the election being called for Mr Biden Ms Trump tweeted that “Every legally cast vote should be counted. Every illegally cast vote should not.”
“This should not be controversial,” she added.
“This is not a partisan statement — free and fair elections are the foundation of our democracy.”
