Qiaunci Jones- Religious Tolerance.
Ivanka Trump’s attempt at using Twitter to promote religious tolerance backfired Monday night. President Donald Trump’s daughter tweeted that “America is a nation built on the principle of religious tolerance” and urged people to “protect our houses of worship and religious centers.” Her well-intentioned post came following a wave of bomb hoaxes against Jewish Community Centers across the country. Trump herself converted to Judaism before marrying Jared Kushner. But the tweet, which she ended with the hashtag #JCC, wasn’t well received.
I have no clue if she was intending to be sweet or save face. I agree with her message but I could see why there's so controversy. I just don't think that she has to suffer because of her Father's actions. This can relate to controversy over religious tolerance during early times.

It is so scary to think that people are making these bomb threats and it's good that she is trying to speak out against them. I didn't know she had converted to Judaism.
ReplyDeleteIt's cool that she is trying, even though her father is the worst ever
