‘Inappropriate and offensive’: Ivanka Trump speaks out on father's lewd 2005 comments

Ivanka Trump, a top figure in Donald Trump’s campaign, finally addressed the lewd-tape scandal that kicked off the wave of controversy engulfing her father’s campaign.
In a statement to Fast Company published Monday night, the businesswoman called her father’s comments — which included boasts of groping and forcibly kissing women — “clearly inappropriate and offensive.”
“I’m glad that he acknowledged this fact with an immediate apology to my family and the American people,” she said.
Ivanka Trump had been relatively silent since earlier this month, when the Washington Post published a 2005 video tape of her father making shockingly vulgar comments on “Access Hollywood.”
Though Trump denied ever actually groping women, an increasing number of women have since spoken out with allegations of s*xual misconduct, including assault, against the GOP nominee.
Ivanka Trump’s statement came as a last-minute addition to a Fast Company feature on the Republican presidential nominee’s daughter, who is executive vice president of development and acquisitions at the Trump Organization and runs her own clothing company. The feature addressed how she’s managed to weather the “surreal experience” of her father’s presidential campaign.
