Ivanka Trump Tweet Celebrating Oprah's Golden Globes Speech Sparks Ridicule
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speculation about Oprah Winfrey potentially running for president in
2020 is continuing to build, following Oprah's powerful lifetime
achievement award acceptance speech at the Golden Globes on Sunday
night. On Monday, a number of Democratic strategists came out endorsing
or praising the idea. Meanwhile, President Trump's daughter, Ivanka
Trump, also tweeted out a celebration of Oprah's Golden Globes speech
and Hollywood's new "Time's Up" initiative to stop sexual harassment and
violence. Ivanka wrote, "Just saw @Oprah's empowering & inspiring speech
at last night's #Golden Globes. Let's all come together, women & men, &
say #TIMESUP! #United." Ivanka's tweet sparked widespread criticism
online, given that her father, President Trump, has been accused of
sexual harassment or assault by at least 16 women.
