The president’s children were likewise in damage-control mode, with first daughter Ivanka Trump deleting a tweet in which she labeled the rioters “American patriots.” (Her brothers, who tweeted their own disavowals, had stood in front of the same mob earlier that day, riling them up and threatening lawmakers who didn’t support their father.) A former friend of Ivanka’s predicted that this moment, as well as so many other moments, would haunt her after her dad leaves office. “It follows them because it is them,” this person said Wednesday afternoon. “It is who they are now.”

“American Patriots,” she wrote, referring to domestic terrorists, “any security breach or disrespect to our law enforcement is unacceptable. The violence must stop immediately. Please be peaceful.” Later, apparently having realized that describing violent fascists as “patriots” might not be great for the ole brand, Ivanka deleted her tweet and tried to claim she abhors the behavior on display today, in an absurd attempt to distance herself from the monsters unleashed by her family.

That little prick should be arrested for incitement to insurrection.
