Alyssa Milano has called on President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka to donate to the Time’s Up movement after the First Daughter tweeted her support for the cause.
The new campaign, which calls for the end of gender inequality, discrimination and harassment, was the talk of the Golden Globes on Sunday (07Jan18), where Oprah Winfrey gave a powerful speech declaring the time is up on sexism and mistreatment of women, across all colors and classes.
Just saw @Oprah's empowering & inspiring speech at last night’s #GoldenGlobes. Let’s all come together, women & men, & say #TIMESUP! #United https://t.co/vpxUBJnCl7

Ivanka shared footage of the speech on Twitter on Monday night and gushed, “Just saw @Oprah’s empowering & inspiring speech at last night’s #GoldenGlobes. Let’s all come together, women & men, & say #TIMESUP! #United.”
Her tweet drew criticism from users, who accused her of being a part of the problem and keeping quiet about sexual harassment allegations aimed at her father. Trump has been accused of sexual harassment and misconduct by multiple women and famously bragged about grabbing women “by the p**sy” in a 2005 audio recording, which was released during his 2016 presidential election campaign.
Great! You can make a lofty donation to the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund that is available to support your father's accusers.https://t.co/A8HCVa715v
