Ivanka Trump is coming to the defense of her father, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, when it comes to accusations of his mistreatment of women.
Her father has been accused of treating women poorly, which was a subject that was brought up at the first Republican debate.
“Look, my father is very blunt,” she told CNN’s Poppy Harlow. “He's very direct. He is not gender specific in his criticism of people, and people that he doesn't particularly like or people that he does like but thinks they're wrong on a particular issue.”
She went on to say of accusations he doesn't support women, “I wouldn't be the person I am today, I wouldn't be a high-level executive within his organization if he felt that way."
Trump has received a lot of backlash for accusing debate moderator Megyn Kelly of having “blood coming out of her wherever” during the event. He also made comments about Carly Fiorina, such as “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!”
However, Ivanka insisted the backlash is "orchestrated largely by the media," referring to it as "sensationalism."
