Ivanka says Trump gets donations from workers while big biz backs Joe Biden,' Internet tells her 'it's over'

'@realDonaldTrump’s largest donors are construction workers, farmers, truckers, members of the military & everyday citizens. Biden’s support comes from Big Business, Big Banks & Big Pharma,' she wrote

Ivanka Trump continued to rally behind her father, despite President Donald Trump's lead narrowing in a number of key battleground states that he needed to bag in order to win the election. "The Election 2020 Employer donor data proves that we are the party of the American worker! @realDonaldTrump’s largest donors are construction workers, farmers, truckers, members of the military & everyday citizens. Biden’s support comes from Big Business, Big Banks & Big Pharma," she wrote in a tweet, adding in a follow-up post, "@realDonaldTrump built the most diverse and inclusive coalition of support in Republican history — with historic levels of Latino, Black, and Native American voters. He will always go to the mat fighting for the hardworking men & women of this great Country!"

Senior Producer of MSNBC's 'The Last Word' challenged the first daughter's statement by tweeting, "Hi Ivanka. You must not have seen that Sheldon and Miriam Adelson poured $75 million into a super PAC to help your father's re-election effort." He also cited an article from CNN from October 16 titled, "Adelsons provide $75 million cash infusion to Trump's reelection effort" 

"Billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and his physician wife, Miriam, poured a whopping $75 million into a super PAC launched in late August to aid President Donald Trump's reelection, new filings show. The couple's donations to Preserve America PAC, delivered in several installments in August and September, account for nearly $9 out of every $10 the political action committee raised through September 30, according to its first report with the Federal Election Commission," the first part of the article read. 

Others also took the opportunity to tout the fact that Democratic candidate Joe Biden was in the lead to beat the president even as votes were being tallied in some of the swing states. "Time to fumigate the WH from the Trumpvirus in preparation for the new first family who we can finally be proud of!!!!" one said, while another wrote, "Only a matter of time before Uncle Joe unlocks 'Immunity from Criminal Prosecutionland' with 270 points." A third said, "Lol give up. Daddy has new real estate to tout!"

The next commented, "Someone tell her it’s over. Look what you’re doing! Things come around, Ivanka." Someone else suggested, "So to make sure we all follow: Biden is anti-business and bad for the economy and his biggest donors were Big Banks and Big Business?" One more wrote, "Biden's donations came from 5.5 million donors with an average contribution of about $44... Biden’s support comes from American citizens..."

We previously reported that since the Trump camp was at a significant cash disadvantage in the final weeks of the race, refunding the campaign is particularly important if they want to keep fighting to get him reelected this year. As a result, efforts to invite further donations from their supporters began as soon as the president falsely declared victory on election night and said he was prepared to move to the Supreme Court to file a motion for the end of vote counting in the states where he felt voter fraud existed. 

A flurry of emails and text messages with essentially unproven conspiracy theories advocated by the president were reportedly sent out to supporters of Trump. "They will try to steal the Election," one such appeal via email said.

Another, which had the subject line "Just like I predicted," contained the message: "I need YOUR HELP to ensure we have the resources to protect the results. We can’t allow the Left-wing MOB to undermine our Election. I’m asking my fiercest and most loyal defenders, like YOU, to FIGHT BACK!" Some of the fundraising emails seemed to be directed from the office of Vice President Mike Pence with the subject line "The President and I need YOU."
