Things get chilly between Obama speechwriter and media over coverage of ‘climate czar’ Ivanka Trump
Media outlets around the world have all but declared the planet an uninhabitable wasteland now that President Trump has announced the withdrawal ofthe United States from the Paris Climate Accord. There had been chatter Wednesday night, though, that the president might not follow through on that particular campaign promise, and that he was feeling some pressure on the issue, primarily from daughter Ivanka Trump.
That scenario didn’t play out how progressives would have liked, and Jon Lovett, former speechwriter for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, wasn’t about to letPolitico’s Annie Karni finish her day without a proper shaming.
A real legacy of journalistic excellence on these issues, @anniekarni. What a joke. pic.twitter.com/rgUx2tFc0h

How can you put your name to this bullshit when you wrote a piece musing on whether Ivanka would be CLIMATE CZAR?! pic.twitter.com/LNWFijNynE

.@jonlovett what is your problem? Turn down your rage and read both stories and you'll see they are good, accurate and consistent.

Jon — You're upset with a reporter for inaccurately predicting the future? Come on. Increasing the vitriol doesn't help any of us.

Increasing the vitriol is all some people know how to do.
A complete joke. I don't want to hear ever again @IvankaTrump is different and moderates him. She is not a moderator & she IS her father.

Ivanka knew who her father was and how he works. She was completely naive and had zero say. Who didn't see this coming?

Does this mean the think-pieces about "Ivanka's influence" will finally stop and we can go back to calling her a handbag designer?
