After the attack on the Capitol in protest of Donald Trump’s election loss, Karlie Kloss took to X, formerly Twitter, to write, “Accepting the results of a legitimate democratic election is patriotic. Refusing to do so and inciting violence is anti-American.” When someone suggested saying that to Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, Kloss replied, “I’ve tried.” According to a source close to Ivanka, the former senior advisor was taken aback by the tweet because she and Kloss were close friends but the “Project Runway” host had never come to her about her political thoughts, per Page Six. “Karlie is public with her politics, but privately shies away from discussing them. But they are very close and they really enjoy each other’s company, so Ivanka is hurt,” the insider revealed. However, a source close to Kloss stated, “Ivanka understands Karlie’s views perfectly. They’ve had many political discussions contrary to what she and her team would have you believe.”
As reported by People, Ivanka came under fire after the Capitol riot when she called the protesters in a now-deleted tweet, “American Patriots.” She then backtracked after being called out and wrote, “No. Peaceful protest is patriotic. Violence is unacceptable and must be condemned in the strongest terms.” As the saying goes, never mix family and politics.
