Amy Schumer Just Called Out Ivanka For Her Reaction to Her Father's Child Separation Policy In a Savage New Instagram Post

Amy Schumer Just Called Out Ivanka For Her Reaction to Her Father's Child Separation Policy In a Savage New Instagram Post

One benefit of having Ivanka as a follower.

Comic Amy Schumer and fellow celebrities Alexa Chung and Sophia Amoruso have started a campaign to push the resignation of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen through letters targeting Ivanka Trump.


The letter, which appeared on Amoruso's Instagram on Monday, urges the First Daughter to demand Nielsen's resignation over the "zero tolerance" policy that resulted in thousands of migrant children being separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexican border.

The letter begins by referencing Trump's Axios interview last week in which she said family separation was a "low point" for her (note the past tense).

"Dear Ivanka..."

"You follow me on social media. You said family separation was a 'low point' for you. The low point is for the separated families."

"As of now, 572 children have no been reunited" despite a court-ordered deadline to do so, Amoruso pressed. "A child has died after separation" and there have been "multiple claims of sexual and physical abuse in detention," she added.

Amoruso continued: "There have been psychotropic drugs administered to children in detention without parental consent. These abuses have occurred on your father's watch under the leadership of Secretary Nielsen."

End these racist, inhuman, unconscionable abuses now!

The letter concludes with a simple plea to Trump:

We demand you call for the resignation of Secretary Nielsen!

Schumer, whom Trump follows on Instagram, reposted the letter which was then 'liked' more than 282,000 times in less than 24 hours.

Chung shared the letter Tuesday morning.

"That was a low point for me," Trump told Axios last Thursday. "I feel very strongly about that, and I am very vehemently against family separation and the separation of parents and children."

Trump's interview was shredded in a brutal USA Today Op-Ed on Monday. Columnist Raul Reyes said Trump's lack of pressure on her father renders her words inert and "reveals her as a profile in cowardice."

"The smartest thing that Ivanka Trump could say about immigration policy is nothing," Reyes wrote, adding that Trump’s “comments only illustrate the hollowness of her presence in the White House — just as the family separations crisis reveals her as a profile in cowardice."

Other famous names, such as Chelsea Handler and the Women's March, also shared the letter on Instagram.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
