Ivanka T. blasted for advertising an $10k jewelry on 60 minutes

All that glitters isn’t gold, and Ivanka Trump is learning that the hard way. The daughter of Donald Trump appeared alongside her family to discuss the shocking presidential election and her role in her father's transition team during the Sunday, November 13, episode of CBS’ 60 Minutes. Shortly following the broadcast that also featured Donald, Melania, Donald Jr., Eric and Tiffany Trump, Ivanka’s team sent out a media blast promoting a $10,800 piece of jewelry that she wore from her own line. According to a tweet and screengrab from New York Times reporter Eric Lipton, the message read “Ivanka Trump wearing her favorite bangle from the Metropolis Collection on ‘60 Minutes.'"Ivanka TrumpDonald Trump and his family on '60 Minutes' with Lesley StahlPHOTOS: Celebrities Supporting Donald Trump for PresidentUnsurprisingly, Ivanka was blasted by critics for for using her appearance to push her own brand. “Ivanka Trump hawking $10,800 bracelet she wore on 60 Minutes.
