During an interview with Fox News Channel’s Steve Hilton, President Donald Trump’s daughter and White House senior adviser Ivanka Trump rebutted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) policy approach with regards to the so-called Green New Deal.
Hilton asked, “You’ve got people who will see that offer from the Democrats, from the progressive Democrats, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: ‘Here’s the Green New Deal, here’s the guarantee of a job,’ and think, ‘yeah, that’s what I want, it’s that simple.’ What do you say to those people?”
Trump answered, “I don’t think most Americans, in their heart, want to be given something. I’ve spent a lot of time traveling around this country over the last four years. People want to work for what they get. So, I think that this idea of a guaranteed minimum is not something most people want. They want the ability to be able to secure a job. They want the ability to live in a country where’s there’s the potential for upward mobility.”
