Ivanka Trump was hissed at and laughed at during a women’s panel in Germany this morning after she defended her father’s track record on women and families.

“I’m very proud of my father’s advocacy,” she said to the majority-women audience at the Women20 Summit, a panel focused on women’s leadership and economic empowerment ahead of the Group of 20 meeting.

It was the first daughter’s first trip abroad as an advisor to her father, President Donald Trump, and the audience proved a tough first test for the former Trump, Inc. executive and jewelry designer.

Ivanka was asked at the beginning of the panel whether she was there representing the American people, her father, or her business.

“Certainly not the latter,” Trump said.

She was then asked about her father’s comments about treating women disrespectfully, to which she replied that Trump has been “a tremendous champion of supporting families and enabling them to thrive.”

That comment drew groans and hisses from the audience, according to The New York Times. The reaction prompted the moderator, Miriam Meckel, editor in chief of WirthschaftWoche, to press the point.

“You hear the reaction from the audience,” she said. “I need to address one more point. Some attitudes toward women your father has displayed might leave one questioning whether he’s such an empowerer for women.”

Meckel’s question may have been a reference, perhaps, to more than dozen accusations of sexual misconduct leveled at the president during the campaign and his own admission of grabbing women by their genitals.

Ivanka said she had heard that criticism only from the media and that it had been perpetuated, which caused the crowd to laugh.

She went on, saying that the thousands of women employed by Trump “are a testament to his belief and solid conviction in the potential of women and their ability to do the job as well as any man.”

Trump attended the meeting at the invitation of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who appeared with her on the panel along with International Monetary Fund director Christine Lagarde, Netherlands’ Queen Maxima and Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland, as well as Nicola Leibinger-Kammüller, the president and chairwoman of German tool and electronics company Trumpf GmbH, according to NPR.

The panel focused on feminism, though the moderator said she was reluctant to use the term, asking the audience to raise their hands if they identified as feminists, which Trump did.

"I do label myself a feminist, and I do think of that in broad terms," she said.

She said that she wanted to encourage female business owners and become a proponent of affordable childcare for working women.

“I’m striving to think about how best to empower women in the economy,” she said.

After the panel was over, Trump dismissed the crowd’s tough reaction as “politics.”

“My father is a champion for all Americans — women, of course.... I think the fact that he’s embraced my interest in taking on this role shows that he aligns with the interests I most deeply care about and advocate for. Otherwise it wouldn’t make for a very good family dynamic,” she said.
