GOP insider Maura Gillespie criticized the interview as tone-deaf and questioned who advised the decision, asking, “Who is their press person?” Democratic strategist Meghan Hayes echoed the critique, tying Ivanka’s remarks to perceptions of corruption amid ordinary Americans facing gas and grocery costs.
