You aren't a feminist if you criticize Ivanka, according to Trump campaign bigwig.

According to Donald Trump&#39;s former deputy campaign manager, you can&#39;t be a feminist if you dare criticize Ivanka.HAHAHAHA.  Seriously uninformed Citizens United chairman David Bossie railed against feminists in an interview with Fox News to protect White House&#39;s precious flower, Ivanka Trump.&quot;These feminists are only feminists in name only. They&#39;re only feminists when it affects their checkbook. They don&#39;t fight for women across the board. They never have,&quot; said Bossie. &quot;If you agree with them, they are on your side and they will fight for you. If you are not on their side, they will demean you in the most ugly terms.&quot;giphyInteresting statement, guy who fought to get a pussy-grabber elected!

Identifying as female does not get you the blind support of feminists and a one-way ticket to some exclusive feminist club. Deciding not to support a person who uses sweatshops and aids a sexual predator hell-bent on limiting women&#39;s rights IS feminist, you turd.Second of all, it is super ironic that Bossie would say feminists are only feminists when it &quot;affects their checkbook&quot; seeing that Ivanka is making money off her pseudo-feminism every day.
