‘We Must Continue to Come Together’: Ivanka Trump Praises Peaceful Free Speech Marchers

Ivanka Trump got on Twitter tonight to bid compliments to the people who spoke against bigotry during today’s free speech rally in Boston.

1:2 It was beautiful to see thousands of people across the U.S.A come together today to peacefully denounce bigotry, racism & anti-semitism.

When the Trump heiress’ father addressed today’s march, his first reaction was to slam the “many anti-police agitators” taking part in protests. Eventually, the president offered a softer tweet where he praised today’s participants for speaking out against bigotry and hate.

There were a number of arrests in Boston today, but the bulk of today’s events remained peaceful. Boston Mayor Marty Walsh and Police Commissioner William Evans applauded the demonstrators for their orderly conduct throughout the day.
