On 24 November 2016, reporter Sarah Kendzior posted a message on Twitter that said that Ivanka Trump had once said that if Donald Trump wasn't her father, she would want to spray him with Mace: Kendizor evidently found Ivanka's alleged mace quote in the Quotables section of the Chicago Tribune. The screen shot she shared was real, and was published by the newspaper in August 2006: The same quote, along with the same attribution, also appeared in an end-of-the-year quiz by the Telegraph. However, other reports about the Trumps' appearance on The View (including one published by the Chicago Tribune) never mentioned this particular quote. So where did it come from? The earliest version of this quote we could uncover was published on 17 March 2006, in the News For Dumb Guys section — a weekly feature in Louisiana's Shreveport Times — where it was attributed to comedian Conan O'Brien: Jordan Schlansky, a former producer for Late Night With Conan O'Brien and current producer of Conan, confirmed in an email that the above-displayed quote originated with Conan O'Brien: Lauri Hogan, Publicity Director at ABC Entertainment Group, provided a view-only copy of The View interview to Snopes.com and we can confirm that Ivanka Trump did not use this joke during the segment.
