Ivanka Trump is said to be "surprised and hurt" by Karlie Kloss' comments about Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, on social media this week. On Wednesday, Jan. 6, as "MAGA" rally attendees formed attacked and breached the U.S. Capitol building, Ivanka called them "American Patriots" on Twitter. She deleted the post, but a few hours later, Karlie, who's married to Jared's brother, Josh Kushner, tweeted: "Accepting the results of a legitimate democratic election is patriotic. Refusing to do so and inciting violence is anti-American." When someone wrote in the comments, "Tell your sister in law and brother law," Karlie replied, "I've tried." But according to a "friend of the family" (who painted Ivanka and Karlie's relationship in rather glowing terms), Karlie doesn't really discuss politics or other issues she's spoken out about publicly with the Trump family. "The tweet was brought to Ivanka's attention and she was mostly surprised because they're so close and talk on a regular basis, but never really about politics," the source told Page Six in a report published Friday. "Karlie likes to position herself publicly as an activist, yet she's never approached Ivanka on any of the issues [she's] championed like paid maternal leave, women in STEM and criminal justice reform. Karlie is public with her politics, but privately shies away from discussing them," the insider alleged. The source apparently also said Ivanka is "hurt" because she and Karlie are "close" and despite everything that was going on that day, "Ivanka would of course be open to hearing from Karlie about her views." After news of Ivanka's since deleted "patriots" tweet broke, White House correspondent Kate Bennett asked her if she really meant the violent mob was being "patriotic" in its actions. "No. Peaceful protest is patriotic," Ivanka replied. " Violence is unacceptable and must be condemned in the strongest terms."
