Maybe Ivanka Trump doesn't understand social distancing or perhaps she's never been to a protest.
But a recent suggestion she made on Twitter has many people scratching their heads.

Peaceful protest & freedom of assembly are beautiful American traditions that should always be protected. If you c… https://t.co/bC3Fsglijm— Ivanka Trump (@Ivanka Trump)1587565804.0
Social distancing is literally the thing these protestors are trying to avoid.

If Ivanka really wanted people to be safe and maintain safe social distance, she'd be asking them not to protest.
@IvankaTrump Let the protestors come to your place instead of in front of hospitals. Just open up that bubble you live in.— Matthew Gellert (@Matthew Gellert)1587567143.0

You can often tell what people are like by the company they keep.

@IvankaTrump I’m no expert but you can’t assemble and social distance at the same time.— 🅝🅐🅣🅗🅐🅝 🅐🅣🅧 (@🅝🅐🅣🅗🅐🅝 🅐🅣🅧)1587565985.0
It wasn't so long ago that the President was telling the country this entire pandemic was a "hoax."

Ivanka may support peaceful protest, but these ones are endangering human lives.

@IvankaTrump Maybe you should tell them not to bring their assault weapons.— lanamy01 (@lanamy01)1587569068.0

Ivanka's statement left nothing but confusion its wake.
@IvankaTrump You really have not helped, at all.— Steward Beckham (@Steward Beckham)1587570062.0

And that, of course, means avoiding large crowds.
