Ivanka Cried When Trump Wouldn’t Apologize For ‘Pussy-Grabbing’ Comments

Ivanka Trump demanded to no avail that her father issue a full apology for the infamous tape in which he was recorded bragging about sexual assault.

After the release of tape in which he boasted that he could grab women’s genitalia, now-President Trump called in Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner for crisis management.

According to sources who spoke to The New York Times, Ivanka Trump asked her father to express his regrets, sans qualifications about the remarks.

When he refused – instead explaining his remarks as “locker room talk” and saying he was sorry for offending people – she left the room where they were talking and burst into tears.

President Trump’s bid for the White House was severely imperiled by the release of the tape, and he dipped in the polls after its discovery. Ivanka Trump is now a special assistant within his administration.
