Ivanka Trump, President Trump’s eldest daughter and his adviser, praised Oprah Winfrey’s speech at the Golden Globes in a tweet Monday, and then received some pushback from celebrities.

“Just saw @Oprah’s empowering & inspiring speech at last night’s #GoldenGlobes. Let’s all come together, women & men, & say #TIMESUP! #United,” Ms. Trump, adviser to the president, tweeted.

Ms. Winfrey’s speech ignited rumors about a possible 2020 presidential bid, which many celebrities, and her partner Stedman Graham, furthered in their comments after the speech. CNN reported that sources close to Ms. Winfrey say she’s seriously considering the run.

Ms. Trump’s tweet received much criticism on Twitter for supporting the speech, including from celebrities like model Chrissy Teigen and actress Alyssa Milano. 

“ew go away,” Ms. Teigen responded on Twitter.

“Great! You can make a lofty donation to the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund that is available to support your father’s accusers,” Ms. Milano replied, referencing the women who have accused Mr. Trump of sexual misconduct.

Ms. Trump has made women’s and family issues part of her platform in the White House. She worked with Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida Republican, to try and double the child tax credit in the GOP’s tax reform plan and came out against Republican Roy Moore in the Alabama Senate race when his alleged sexual misconduct was made public.
