Kudos the Flashpoint Gallery in Washington, DC for their new exhibit "Ivanka Vacuuming," with a model resembling Ivanka "Complicit" Trump vacuuming a pink carpet while guests / participants are invited to toss crumbs on the carpet for her to vacuum. [Excuse us, please....bwahahahahahaha... OK thanks.] The piece is by New York-based artist Jennifer Rubell and Cultural DC.
Naturally, the icon of nepotism caught wind of the exhibit and was displeased, apparently because it showed her doppelgänger performing a domestic chore she's unfamiliar with. Climbing on her high horse, Complicit said in a tweet, "Women can choose to knock each other down or build each other up. I choose the latter." Of course, in addition to drawing even more attention to the exhibit, that prompted some rejoinders from the mean old Twitterverse:
Can you convince your father of that too? That'd be great, thnx.— Mr. Z (@EZLVSZ) February 5, 2019

Do you? Where were you during the Kavanaugh hearings? Or when it comes to mothers having kids ripped from their arms? Or that Access Hollywood tape? Or the shaming of Stormy Daniels? Or on protecting Planned Parenthood? Or on a woman’s right to choose? You’re the worst.— Brad Wollack (@BradWollack) February 5, 2019

I don't see any American woman having more maternity leave like in all advanced countries (and even emerging economies).— #MedicareForAll (@Brasilmagic) February 5, 2019
You've done absolutely nothing for women other than pad your bank account with more foreign licensing.
So vacuuming is “knocking” someone down? Just an example of the fact that Ivanka has never done a lick of work. She equates vacuuming with being a maid which is for her a demeaning job. The whole Trump family is disgusting!— Sithaeg (@sithaeg) February 5, 2019
You don't "build up" women who are:— Monty "Individual 137,833,257" Boa (@MontyBoa99) February 5, 2019
- mothers of migrant children who are forcibly orphaned
- denied due process in asylum claims
- sexually assaulted by Republicans
- a minority, gay or trans, or
- unable to earn a living wage.
