Left-wing pundits, activists, and entertainers attacked senior White House adviser Ivanka Trump following reports she used a personal email account to conduct government business, with some calling for her to be fired from the administration and imprisoned.

Ivanka Trump sent hundreds of emails about government business from a personal email account last year, the Washington Post reported Monday.

The emails were sent to White House aides, Cabinet members, and Ivanka Trump’s assistants, many in violation of public records rules, the paper said. The emails the group uncovered include correspondence between Ivanka Trump and Small Business Administrator Linda McMahon and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.

As Michael McGough of the Los Angeles Times writes, there is a world of difference between the personal email use of Ivanka Trump and failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s private server usage:

I don’t want to spoil anyone’s fun, but the differences between the Clinton and Ivanka email offenses are as noteworthy as the similarities.

First of all, Clinton was the secretary of State with access to sensitive information; Ivanka Trump has a vastly less important (and more amorphous) portfolio.

More important, the Washington Post, which broke this story, noted that the FBI eventually determined that 110 of Clinton’s emails contained classified information at the time they were sent or received. A spokesman for Ivanka Trump’s lawyer said that none of her emails contained classified information. If that’s true, it’s an important difference. The White House did not immediately respond to questions about the email use, but a spokesman for Ivanka Trump’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, didn’t dispute the report. “While transitioning into government… Ms. Trump sometimes used her private account, almost always for logistics and scheduling concerning her family,” said the spokesman, Peter Mirijanian. Mirijanian stressed that no classified information was transmitted in the messages, that no emails were deleted and that the emails have since been “retained” in conformity with records laws. “When concerns were raised in the press 14 months ago, Ms. Trump reviewed and verified her email use with White House Counsel and explained the issue to congressional leaders,” he said. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump defended Ivanka, calling concerns of potential wrongdoing “fake news,” while drawing a distinction between his daughter’s email use and Clinton’s. “There was no deleting like Hillary Clinton did,” the president told reporters before departing to Mar-a-lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida for Thanksgiving. “[Ivanka] wasn’t doing anything to hide her emails.” “There was no servers in the basement, like Hillary Clinton had, you’re talking about all fake news,” he added. Below is an assortment of activists, Hollywood celebrities and political pundits lambasting Trump over the email controversy:

The House of Representatives must investigate @IvankaTrump’s emails ASAP. This is a national emergency. I’m worried sick about what classified information may have been intercepted. Was she running a sex ring in a pizza shop? America needs answers. — andy lassner (@andylassner) November 20, 2018

@JudicialWatch hey, what are you doing about Ivanka Trump's emails? #LockHerUp? — Corey Vidal (@CoreyVidal) November 20, 2018

Lucky for Ivanka, Republicans run the House next year and her private email shenanigans won't be investigated by– Wait wait excuse me… I've been told the situation has changed… pic.twitter.com/dzxooqvuNT — Oliver Willis (@owillis) November 20, 2018

Ivanka Trump pleading ignorance to the rules against using personal after her Dad ran an entire campaign attacking Hillary Clinton for doing that exact thing is proof she is either the most entitled or the dumbest person on the planet https://t.co/AIC2175tc6 — Dan Pfeiffer (@danpfeiffer) November 20, 2018

Email gaffes weren’t important when Hillary made them and they aren’t important when Ivanka makes them now. Much, much, much more serious crimes in Trumpland, and they are about to be exposed. — Bill Roorbach (@billroorbach) November 20, 2018

Here's what really bothers me about this – how stupid do you have to be to use your private email for government business just a few months after the Hillary faux email scandal? Ivanka can't plead ignorance, so it's either stupidity or a belief that the rules don't apply to her https://t.co/IF6RPv7Rop — Dana Nuccitelli (@dana1981) November 20, 2018

#Ivanka sent hundreds of emails re gov’nt business on her personal server! We’re scandalized! All I can do is repeat what her father said when Hillary did something not unlike what his First Daughter did!! LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP!!! LOCK HER UP!!

Yes Ivanka used a personal email account for government business, but in her defense, if Trump was my father I also wouldn't understand the concepts of privacy or boundaries. — Subhah (@Subhah) November 20, 2018

1. Judge block's Trump's asylum ban.

2. Naughty Ivanka's been using private emails for government business (lock her up?)

Trump up to 4 scandals or fuckups a day. Today: Ivanka used personal email for govmt business / troops back from border proving "caravan" horror was election stunt / Trump too scared to visit troops in combat zones / Saudi arms deals exaggerated.

Ivanka Trump pleading ignorance about using private email for government business after her father ran an entire campaign attacking his opponent for that exact thing is proof she’s either a liar (just like her father) or an idiot (just like her father). — MatthewDicks (@MatthewDicks) November 20, 2018

Can we have a remake of the commercial in which Trump confronts Ivanka with her emails and she cries, “I learned it from you, dad, I LEARNED IT FROM YOU!” pic.twitter.com/JiUK2YdvJr — Asha Rangappa (@AshaRangappa_) November 20, 2018

You just have to laugh at the irony of @IvankaTrump using a personal email account to send government business. I wonder if @realDonaldTrump will endorse locking her up? — Bill Press (@bpshow) November 20, 2018

If there is any karma at all, Ivanka will have to face people chanting "lock her up!" any time she goes out in public. (But let's face it, there is no karma and she'll just sequester herself behind a wall of lawyers and PR people till it blows over.) https://t.co/c82ILJt9TK — Elizabeth Spiers (@espiers) November 20, 2018

Donald Trump should fire Ivanka Trump — Ryan Grim (@ryangrim) November 20, 2018

I just heard someone say “Ivanka should just acknowledge a mistake was made and didn’t know.” Donald Trump won an entire presidency on the importance of Hillary Clinton’s emails. The hypocrisy is staggering. Either Ivanka is an dangerously stupid or dangerously arrogant. — Frederick Joseph (@FredTJoseph) November 20, 2018

And just like that Ivanka is out of the headlines for using her private email account for government biz, and apparently will face no consequences- nor will the media outlets that gleefully brought down Hillary’s campaign for far less admit their fault here. Infuriating! — Amy Siskind 🏳️‍🌈 (@Amy_Siskind) November 20, 2018

Hey @realDonaldTrump chant along with me “Lock Ivanka up, lock Ivanka up, lock Ivanka up….” — John Archer (@TheArchini) November 20, 2018

The invention of email has proven to be a very bad thing for Crooked Ivanka in that it has proven her to be both incompetent and a liar! — Joe Madison (@MadisonSiriusXM) November 20, 2018

With such thoroughness, it's surprising @IvankaTrump didn't notice her pattern of using her personal email account for official gov't work. (From "Women Who Work," Kindle ed., p. 114.) pic.twitter.com/Pp26RvfFp0 — Zach Everson (@Z_Everson) November 20, 2018

If only it would make a difference. Just look to @senatemajldr for his hypocrisy after blatant shutting down everything Obama tried to do and then calling for unity.

Or @IvankaTrump and her emails.

Okay. Now, I'd like to hear Trump say, "Lock Ivanka up" for using her personal email to do WH business. He's been calling Hillary Clinton crooked, & has been telling everyone that she has to be locked up for using her personal email. So, what makes Ivanka different this time?🙄 https://t.co/L5KrH1nExz — Francis Baraan IV (@MrFrankBaraan) November 20, 2018

There is a pattern of evasion and destruction of what may be potential evidence of wrong-doing under Trump: Trump won't release his taxes, his companies destroyed emails against court orders, Ivanka and others use private email, and the WH tried to keep visitor logs secret. — Dr. DaShanne Stokes (@DaShanneStokes) November 20, 2018

Focusing on Ivanka's emails isn't just an issue of hypocrisy or parity. The Trump campaign made this a central issue, a campaign promise. What is their justification for being so careless themselves? What else did they claim to care deeply about and have now abandoned? https://t.co/WR218v0v6j — Susan Hennessey (@Susan_Hennessey) November 20, 2018

Soooo…in addition to having rich parents, is this how Ivanka got richer? So ironic. @IvankaTrump is in deep trouble, if the GOP actually cares about the integrity of government emails.
