Working Mother

I heard Peter Alexander call Ivanka Trump a “working mother,” during their Today Show interview this morning.

I know a woman in Newburgh. Her gang-banger husband left her in 2012.

She is raising two A students, in one of the nations toughest school systems. Her words to them, “your good grades are your only way out of Hell…”

She works as a nurse’s aid at St Luke’s hospital, waits tables at a Newburgh diner and cleans a few houses on her “day off.”

I think maybe Mr. Alexander needs to re-examine the term, “working mother.”
