dirty donnies true love caught supporting anarchy Ivanka Trump Deletes Tweet Calling Capitol Rioters 'Patriots' Then Adds 'Violence Is Unacceptable' Chris Harris Wed., January 6, 2021, 2:03 p.m. PST Ross D Franklin/AP/Shutterstock Ivanka Trump President Donald Trump's daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump drew near immediate backlash online on Wednesday for a deleted tweet calling the violent mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol — interrupting the ratification of the Electoral College vote for President-elect Joe Biden and forcing lockdown of congressional offices — "American Patriots." "Any security breach or disrespect to our law enforcement is unacceptable," Ivanka, 39, initially wrote before removing the tweet. "The violence must stop immediately. Please be peaceful," Ivanka had tweeted. "You're saying these people are 'patriots' ??" a CNN reporter wrote back to her, to which Ivanka claimed that she was being misunderstood. "No. Peaceful protest is patriotic. Violence is unacceptable and must be condemned in the strongest terms," she wrote. Her comments came Wednesday afternoon, as she retweeted her father's call for peace at the Capitol — a jarring reversal after Trump encouraged his same supporters to express their anger at his election loss. In a subsequent video statement, the president told the rioters, "we love you, you're very special," and repeated his evidence-free claims that the November election was stolen from him. He added, "we have to have peace, so go home." (The video has been removed or restricted from social channels including YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, due to "risk of violence.") The chaos began earlier Wednesday afternoon as a large crowd of Trump supporters, who had gathered that day to protest the joint session of Congress certifying Biden's win, moved en masse to the Capitol and outnumbered Capitol police. There they breached the building — breaking windows — and entered the congressional chambers as well as lawmaker offices, with reports of gunfire and injuries as well as numerous photos of looting and vandalism.
