Wasserman Schultz: Ivanka Trump Is Fighting Women, Not Fighting For Women

Former chairwoman of the DNC and current Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz hits Ivanka Trump for supporting her father.





ERIN BURNETT, CNN: Now, Congresswoman, we know Ivanka Trump now has met with the Planned Parenthood president, Cecile Richards, but we understand that that meeting did nothing to change Cecile Richards' view of President Trump or of Ivanka Trump.



Do you think Ivanka Trump is working to help women or not right now?



REP. DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: I think Ivanka Trump needs to recognize that she is now the most powerful woman in this administration. She has a portfolio, an official portfolio, an official role in the White House, in the West Wing, which includes that making sure that women are a priority of this administration.



And she owns that a portfolio and she no longer has the luxury of sort of dropping in and dropping out when you own a portfolio like that. And so, it is her responsibility having that portfolio to really lay out what the administration's agenda is.



BURNETT: When she says she's fighting -- when she says she's fighting for women -- you know, she's going to be attending this conference in Europe this spring. When she says she's working on behalf of women, do you see any evidence of that at this point?



WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: I would say that because of her complicity with her father's agenda she's fighting women, not fighting for women.
