Ivanka Trump's Company Posted An Anne Frank Quote And People Are Not Amused

Though Ivanka Trump has technically taken a formal leave of absence from her eponymous brand, her politics are landing it in hot water.

Early last week, the company that manages her brand and fashion lines posted a quote about happiness on Twitter — which just so happened to be attributed to Anne Frank, a German girl who was killed in a concentration camp when she was 15.

The quote was pulled from Frank's diary, which she kept for two years while hiding from Nazis.

Ivanka's company appeared to be exploiting Frank's life to promote and sell her brand, and Twitter immediately picked up on it.
