“These aren’t demons, these aren’t people that are monsters,' Teigen said of immigrants.
Chrissy Teigen criticized Ivanka Trump for a"lack of empathy" towards the fate of children who were separated at the U.S.-Mexico border. The model and immigrants' rights activist was asked at the House Democrats' annual Issues Conference in Leesburg, Virginia, on Thursday about how she felt as a mother when seeing the images of children taken from their parents that caused controversy last year.
Teigen, who was taking questions with her husband, singer John Legend, said: "It's a painful thing to see that, and it's a painful thing to see such a complete lack of empathy when it comes from people, like Ivanka, I will say, that can post all day, pictures of her children that are just in her home and 'oh my daughter is having trouble in her crib' or 'my daughter is doing this' and 'my daughter is doing this.
She later tweeted that"it is time to focus on swiftly and safely reuniting the families that have been separated." "These aren’t demons, these aren’t people that are monsters. Donald Trump treats everything like it’s an episode [of the movie] The Village, where there is this wall and these monsters to keep outside."
