Lara Trump, the wife of the president’s second son, Eric, was blasted on social media for telling federal workers in an interview that they should feel good about the “sacrifice” they are making by not getting paid during the government shutdown.

Accusations poured in on Twitter that Lara Trump — who also is an adviser and spokeswoman for President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign — is a rich, privileged socialite who can’t understand what it’s like to not be able to pay a mortgage, a child’s college tuition or health care costs.
