If you thought Ivanka Trump\\u2019s childhood best friend, Lysandra Ohrstrom, had enough to say about the First Daughter in her scathing Vanity Fair article, you\\u2019d be mistaken. Oh no, Lysandra isn\\u2019t finished yet. She came on the latest episode of The New Abnormal to talk about the president\\u2019s favorite kid and the offensive and crude things Ivanka and her dad would say or do when the two were growing up\\u2014and what finally made Lysandra become the \\u201cclass traitor\\u201d many have been quick to call her on Twitter. \\u201cI have really been grappling with whether to do this for so long since Trump announced that he was running,\\u201d she told Molly Jong-Fast. In fact, \\u201cLy\\u201d (as Ivanka called her) had been loyal to Ivanka over the last four years to the point where she forwarded her press requests as a heads up. But standing in line to vote early this fall, enough was enough. (\\u201cI just went home. I sat at my computer and I started writing a long essay about why her dad shouldn\'t be president. And it was very much pegged to my recollections of growing up with him.\\u201d) Some of the \\u201crecollections\\u201d include Trump calling out Lysandra\\u2019s looks and nicknaming Ivanka\\u2019s young friends after models like Cindy Crawford, behavior that she found \\u201cshocking as a kid.\\u201d (\\u201cMost dads didn\'t make comments about your weight. Most dads didn\'t kind of call all of my young friends after different models.\\u201d) She also addresses that necklace incident mentioned in the article, all of their friends who called to thank her for writing the article, and if Ivanka will ever be welcomed back in New York City. Plus! New York Times National Politics Reporter Astead Wesley joins to talk about an interesting call he had with AOC and the prediction about QAnon Queen and Congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene that made Molly sick. And! Rick Wilson and Molly talk about \\u201cCoup-anon\\u201d and the ways Trump is basically \\u201cKim Jong Un without the good hair.\\u201d Oh, and why Sidney Powell is \\u201ca complete whackadoodle,\\u201d in case it isn\\u2019t obvious.
