Ivanka ‘hurt’ by Kloss jab

IVANKA Trump was left “surprised and hurt” by sister-in-law Karlie Kloss’ social media comments amid the attack on the Capitol on Wednesday.

As supporters of President Trump laid siege to the halls of Congress, Ivanka posted — then deleted — a tweet in which she called them “American Patriots.”

A few hours later, Kloss, who’s expecting her first child with husband Josh Kushner — the younger brother of Ivanka’s husband, Jared — tweeted, “Accepting the results of a legitimate democratic election is patriotic. Refusing to do so and inciting violence is anti-American.”

When a follower told her to tell that to her sister- and brother-in-law, Kloss replied, “I’ve tried.”

A friend of the family revealed: “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 insider added that “Karlie likes to position herself publicly as an activist, yet she’s never approached Ivanka on any of the issues [that Kloss has] championed like paid maternal leave, women in STEM and criminal justice reform.”

They said that for Kloss to claim she has “tried” to persuade Ivanka to see her viewpoint is “simply not true.”

Instead, “they are very close and they really enjoy each other’s company, so Ivanka is hurt.”

Meanwhile, a source close to Kloss told us, “Ivanka understands Karlie’s views perfectly. They’ve had many political discussions, contrary to what she and her team would have you believe.”

They added, “She hasn’t had a close relationship with [Jared and Ivanka] for quite some time due to the policies of the Trump administration. I think Karlie feels it’s pretty unfortunate that this is what Ivanka is choosing to spend her time on while our democracy is facing a crisis fueled by this administration.”
