Debra Messing Calls Out Ivanka Trump in Awards Speech

Debra Messing has never been shy about protesting President Trump and his policies.

At the GLAAD Media Awards on Saturday, though, the “Will & Grace” star momentarily focused her grievances on someone else: Ivanka Trump.

“There is someone I would like to make a direct appeal to this evening,” Messing said, before jokingly referring to the first daughter as the secretary of state. “Ivanka … girlfriend … what are you doing? C’mon, it’s me, Deb. Let’s talk for a second, one Jewish mother to another.”

Since January, Ivanka Trump has been a highly visible member of her father’s presidency, participating in roundtable discussions, meeting with world leaders, moving into her own office in the West Wing and, after ethics concerns were raised, formally becoming an unpaid federal employee.
