IVANKA TRUMP BLASTED FOR TRYING TO TAKE CREDIT FOR KANSAS ECONOMY BY STATE REPRESENTATIVE: 'GIRL, PLEASE—YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT'

Kansas politician has mocked Ivanka Trump's claim the White House administration's policies had spurred the state's economy.

Tweeting a graph from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Ivanka cited data showing household median income in the state growing by $4,546 to $59,123 and the creation of 33,800 jobs, 7,100 of which were manufacturing posts.

"The Kansas success story...We're just getting started!" the White House adviser and daughter of President Donald Trump tweeted, with a yellow line in the graph the graph signifying the point when Trump took office and when the boost to employment had started.

She sent the tweet on the day she visited the WSU Tech National Center for Aviation Training in Wichita to promote the president's "Pledge to America's Workers."

-----------------

However Stephanie Clayton, who was elected as a Republican but now serves as a Democrat member in the Kansas House of Representatives, quickly registered her disdain at Ivanka Trump's comment.

In a tweet that was retweeted hundreds of times, Clayton's curt message was: "Girl, please. You didn't build that. #ksleg"

-------------
The website noted that the increase in Kansas' growth coincided with the election of Democrat candidates in the state legislature, which marked the end of the administration of governor Sam Brownback. Brownback's philosophy was to cut as many taxes as possible, a move critics said left a big hole in state finances.


It said that "Ivanka Trump...doesn't bother with the facts" and that her tweet showed a "misunderstanding of Kansas politics" because instead of White House policy, the Kansas economy had benefited from the election of Democratic governor Laura Kelly and a Democratic U.S. House member in 2018.

5. Not to take anything away from Laura Kelly,

she has been working very hard putting this state back together but a freaking slug could have gotten it started after Brownback left. Just losing him from the state made everyone better off.

Trump? Good god is there nothing he cannot take over as his own that is good? What an ass and what an ass his daughter is. Asses and idiots, hell it sounds like the country has their very own Brownbacks now except the Trump's do it for themselves. Sam may have done well financially while the rest of us sank but for him this was all for baby Jesus.
