Ivanka Trump was slammed on social media after she shared a tribute to country music star Dolly Parton following her death at the age of 80.
The First Daughter, 44, took to X after learning of the sad news that Dolly had died to post about her.
She wrote, "A couple years ago on @lexfridman podcast I cited a piece of wisdom from @DollyParton that has resonated within me since I first heard it. 'I don't criticize and condemn; I love and accept.'"
"That quote, like so much of what made Dolly Parton an American icon, was deceptively simple — uncomplicated on its face but profound and deeply moving beneath the surface. Goodbye to a bright light. A peerless singer, incredible songwriter, gifted comic actress, tireless philanthropist, accomplished businesswoman and true original. We never met but I adored and admired Dolly greatly."
It comes as Dolly's family confirmed her death in a touching Instagram post.
Ivanka's post appeared to strike a nerve with some of her followers, who wasted no time in criticising her for her heartfelt message.
Netizens criticise Ivanka Trump
Commenters on Ivanka’s post quickly pointed out that her hot-tempered father does not follow Parton’s view on how people should be treated, citing his history of insulting his political opponents and also female reporters.
One scathing critic said, "First, you didn't write this. Secondly, your family is exactly what she tried to avoid. F*** off."
A second commented, "Don’t even try, Eva Braun Barbie. Don’t even try to associate yourself or speak of her. You weren’t fit to breathe the same air as Dolly Parton. You and your family are against everything decent she worked for."
“Dolly Parton spent a heckuva lot of her time, energy, and money helping the poor, and some of her favorite people in the world were flamboyantly fabulous drag queens. Remember that when you see the MAGAs trying to co-opt her legacy right now," a user added.
As per her management team, Parton died after brief battle with cancer.
