Democrats are ripping first daughter Ivanka Trump's seemingly contradictory decision to support the Trump administration's move to eliminate an Obama-era equal pay rule.

"Remember this? Apparently, neither does Ivanka. Because she just backed the White House's plan to halt President Obama's equal pay rule," the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) tweeted on Thursday, attaching a past tweet from the first daughter in which she affirms her support for equal pay for women.

#EqualPayDay is a reminder that women deserve equal pay for equal work. We must work to close the gender pay gap! https://t.co/CcwsoBXWdF — Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) April 4, 2017

The committee's tweet comes one day after the first daughter voiced her approval of the Trump administration's plan to roll back an Obama-era rule that would have required businesses to disclose how much they pay employees of different genders, races and ethnicities.

“Ultimately, while I believe the intention was good and agree that pay transparency is important, the proposed policy would not yield the intended results,” the first daughter said in a statement to The Guardian.

“We look forward to continuing to work with EEOC, OMB, Congress and all relevant stakeholders on robust policies aimed at eliminating the gender wage gap," she continued.

Supporters of the Obama administration's proposed rule say the policy would have worked to prevent pay discrimination by making employers with 100 or more employees disclose data on payment to to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
