Ivanka and Jared threaten to sue the anti-Trump Lincoln Project for putting up billboards in Times Square showing them ‘smiling’ about coronavirus deaths
- Billboards were erected on Thursday and paid for by The Lincoln Project
- On Friday, Ivanka and Jared’s lawyer, Marc Kasowitz, ordered that the group remove the ads immediately
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are threatening to sue The Lincoln Project over ‘false, malicious and defamatory’ billboards they erected in New York City’s Times Square.
On Thursday, the political group – which is comprised of former Republicans who are trying to take down President Trump – unveiled two giant billboards mocking the Commander-in-chief’s daughter and her husband.
The first ad features Ivanka smiling as she raises her hands and gestures towards two separate coronavirus death tolls.

The image of Ivanka was actually taken back in July, when she was holding up a can of Goya beans.
The image has been photoshopped for the Lincoln Project add, removing the beans and altering the context of the First Daughter’s smile.
Meanwhile, a second billboard shows Kushner beaming as he stands next to a quote which reads: ‘[New Yorkers] are going to suffer and that’s their problem.’
There is no proof that Kushner made such a comment. The quote ran in a September Vanity Fair article and was attributed to an anonymous source.
Kushner was reportedly referencing how New Yorkers would be challenged during the COVID-19 pandemic because Governor Andrew Cuomo did not have enough PPE equipment.
