Lara Trump blamed criticism Thursday against her comments on unpaid federal employees affected by the government's longest closure in the history of United States on the "mainstream media," which she said gave a false representation of her statements.
"If anyone took the trouble to watch the entirety of this interview, I think it was very clear that I felt an incredible empathy for all those struggling without pay," he said. said Trump on Fox News' "Overtime Overtime" program.
Trump, President Trump's daughter-in-law and campaign advisor, told the Bold TV digital information network earlier this week for which the president is fighting for "what he knows to be the good thing to do. "
"This is not just for you, and we all get it, but it's so much bigger than anyone," she says. "It's a bit painful, but it will be for the future of our country, and their children, their grandchildren and future generations will thank them for their sacrifice now. I know it is hard. I know that people have families, bills to pay, mortgages, rents due. But the President is trying every day to find a good solution here, and the reality is that it's something that has been going on for too long and that has not been resolved – our immigration problem.
"If we do not do anything now, it's never going to get repaired. This is our only opportunity. "
After Trump's remarks, some social media users scoffed at the idea that the closure is" a bit painful ", pointing out that about 800,000 government employees are affected. [19659011] @LaraLeaTrump Do you have any idea what it means to send bills that you can not pay by mail? Do you know what it's like to not consult a doctor because that you can not afford the deductible? The amount of stress that a family suffers is enormous.This is much more than "a little painful."
