Complicit is as complicit does.

A flabbergasted Anderson Cooper asked New York Times White House Correspondent Maggie Haberman what we're all thinking about President Donald Trump's eldest daughter Ivanka.

Cooper and Haberman were discussing the recent revelation that the President demanded a security clearance for his daughter, despite leading security experts' recommendations against it. Ms. Trump reportedly sought the high-level clearance to study briefing books on foreign trips, prompting Cooper to ask Haberman:


"What does sh—Why is she in the White House? Like what does she actually do?"

Watch below:

Haberman responded:

"In terms of foreign trips, it's a great question...I think there is an addictive quality to having access to this kind of information. What exactly Ivanka Trump needs to do with that information is unclear. She does have certain programs she has pushed for that have global impact, but those are economic, not national security based."

She also pointed out that Ivanka Trump still makes money from the Trump organization and hotels. "It's going to raise a ton of obvious questions...about not actually stepping back from businesses she has...and it is going to once again raise questions about the fact that the President and his family who are serving in the government did not really step away from the business," Haberman said. "And these are just obvious questions, there's nothing surprising about them."

Others provided additional answers to Cooper—none of them good.

Anderson Cooper went on to point out a vicious double standard. Cooper asked:

“If Hillary Clinton had won and she gave Chelsea Clinton a high-level security clearance over the objection of her White House chief counsel, the chief of staff, and Chelsea Clinton’s husband who’s also involved in finances also got a security clearance, wouldn’t Republicans justifiably be screaming from the rooftops?”

Seeing as just last week, Trump supporters were still chanting for Hillary Clinton to be locked up, the answer is probably yes.

This comes despite the fact that Chelsea Clinton has foreign policy acumen in spades.

The only high-level clearance Ivanka Trump should profit from belongs on her fashion line.

After President Donald Trump lashed out at late-night host Seth Meyers on Truth Social over the weekend and called him a "truly deranged lunatic," Meyers responded to Trump’s “ranting and raving” about him with a damning supercut on his program.

Trump apparently tuned in to Thursday night’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, where Meyers poked fun at the president’s complaints about Navy aircraft carriers using electromagnetic catapults instead of traditional steam-powered ones. Meyers joked that Trump "spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E. Coyote."

Girl's Hilarious Reaction To Getting Divisive Candy For Halloween Caught On Doorbell Cam

In the '80s and '90s, kids were raised with the understanding that they got what they got, and they should say, "Thank you," for what they received. This was true for birthdays, holidays, and trick-or-treating on Halloween, even if they got candy they wanted to throw away the instant they turned the corner.

But kids today are much more communicative about what they like and don't like, and they can be brutal in their bluntness.

Speaking on The View, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke about sparring with House Speaker Mike Johnson over healthcare—and revealed that the GOP does not have any replacement for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) despite what Johnson and her fellow congressional conservatives tell the public.

Democrats have continued to reject Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to keep the government open without considering an extension of the premium tax credit that helps subsidize health insurance for people earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.
