former secretary of state and 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is not letting Ivanka Trump off the hook in the legal firestorm engulfing her father Donald Trump.
During an interview with Refinery29 this week, Clinton was asked whether Ivanka should be held responsible for her father’s actions as president.
“Everyone associated with him… they’re either on board with that, or they’re not. And if they’re not, they need to be speaking out or leaving,” she told the outlet. “But if they remain silent and just give lip service to contrary points of views, then they are part of his agenda and should be judged and held accountable for that.”
Ivanka has faced heavy criticism over her White House role and has been lambasted as “complicit” in her father’s behavior as president.

The former first daughter defended herself in an interview with CBS, saying, “If being complicit is wanting to… be a force for good and to make a positive impact, then I’m complicit.”
Clinton also addressed Trump’s sexism in the interview, referencing Trump’s infamous hot-mic video recording in which he boasted to then Access Hollywood co-host Billy Bush about how fame allowed him to force himself on women.
“I think it’s really important for young women to recognize yes, we’ve made progress, but we have to all continue to stand up for ourselves, to stand up for each other, to stand up for the laws that we need, and to take on the sexism that is so prevalent and which has been given a real boost by Trump,” Clinton said.
