Ex-Obama staffers mock 'chief diplomat' Ivanka Trump, compare her to Claire Underwood from 'House of Cards'

Former White House National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor and former Obama speechwriter Ben Rhodes attacked Ivanka Trump on their "Pod Save The World" podcast Thursday and compared her to villain Claire Underwood from "House of Cards."

Vietor began by citing Ivanka's presence at the G20 summit and mocked her for trying to connect with world leaders.

"Trump's team went on this foreign trip and they started having Ivanka record readouts of these meetings," he said. "Back when Ben and I were at the NSC, you would go up and spend like 90 minutes talking about all the things that were discussed... really dig deep on policy.
She's not doing any of that. So, she's jumping into photo ops with world leaders. She has no subject matter expertise."
