Washington (CNN)Chicago's Democratic mayor is pushing back against Ivanka Trump's "misleading" tweets about recent gun violence in the city, assailing President Donald Trump's daughter for getting several facts wrong.
..........................
On Tuesday, Ivanka Trump, who serves as a senior adviser to the President, highlighted the violence in a pair of tweets, writing, "As we grieve over the evil mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, let us not overlook that Chicago experienced its deadliest weekend of the year."
"With 7 dead and 52 wounded near a playground in the Windy City- and little national outrage or media coverage- we mustn't become numb to the violence faced by inner city communities every day," she wrote in one of the tweets.
At a press conference later Tuesday, Mayor Lori Lightfoot called out the tweets from Trump, describing them as "misleading" and suggesting the first daughter doesn't really care about the violence.
"It wasn't a playground, it was a park. It wasn't seven dead. It wasn't 52 wounded in one incident, which is what this suggests. And it's misleading," Lightfoot said. "It's important when we're talking about people's lives to actually get the facts correct, which one can easily do if you actually cared about getting it right.".....................................
