Ivanka Trump in SC to talk taxes with women
Ivanka Trump is in the Palmetto State.
President Donald Trump’s oldest daughter announced Friday on Twitter she has arrived in Greenville, where she and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-North Charleston, are meeting with women to discuss the new tax law the president recently signed into law and how it affects the child tax credit.
“Great to be in Greenville, SC with @SenatorTimScott – a true champion for American working families. #TaxReform,” Trump tweeted.

Trump’s visit to Greenville also is drawing some protests, according to social media reports.
“Lucinda Rogers of Travelers Rest came with IndivisibleSC4 to protest @IvankaTrump speaking to ‘select local women.’ “Why don’t I get to talk to her?” @GreenvilleNews,” tweeted Anna Mitchell of the Greenville News.

The Greenville News’ Mitchell also filmed a heated exchange between a Trump supporter and a clergyman.
“Archbishop Edmund Cass of the Progressive Catholic Church exchanges words with Trump supporter Sherry Riddle outside @IvankaTrump’s event in downtown Greenville,” Mitchell tweeted.
Trump and Scott have company.
