Kloss voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and called the storming of the Capitol ‘anti-American’ on Twitter, while her husband is known to be a Democrat too

Ivanka Trump, businesswoman and adviser to her father Donald Trump when he was president, is married to Jared Kushner, while fashion model Karlie Kloss is married to his brother, Joshua. The sisters-in-law hang out in the same circles and are thought to be good friends privately, but in public things can get awkward ...

Political differences

Once the two women were New York socialites circulating with the liberal elite, but ever since Ivanka’s father Donald Trump got into politics, Kloss hasn’t been shy about how much she opposes the family’s views.

Although they were spotted hanging out together at the US Open in 2019 (alongside their respective husbands, Jared and Joshua Kushner) Kloss is open about the fact that she voted for Trump’s rival Hillary Clinton in 2016. Her spouse is known to be a Democrat too, despite his brother working for Trump’s administration.

As recently as January, however, it was clear that their differing views were a point of tension as Kloss publicly told a Twitter follower that she’d tried to reason with her in-laws over the January 6 insurrection in Washington.

“Accepting the results of a legitimate democratic election is patriotic. Refusing to do so and inciting violence is anti-American,” she tweeted in reference to Trump supporters storming the US Capitol. When a follower replied that she should tell that to her brother- and sister-in-law, Kloss replied: “I’ve tried”.
