The law specifically says they're not allowed to endorse any product regardless of personal gain.She’s an employee. It doesn’t matter if she’s paid or not. She signed up as an employee. You can be an unpaid employee, kiddo. That doesn’t exempt one from ethics laws.Her pay is irrelevant. She is a government employee.She’s a government employee which is exactly who the law covers.Ms. Trump’s Goya tweet is clearly a violation of the government’s misuse of position regulation, 5 C.F.R. § 2635.702. Ms. Trump has had ethics training. She knows better. But she did it anyway because no one in this administration cares about government ethics,” Shaub says.
Experts: Ivanka Trump’s endorsement of Goya Foods puts her in serious legal trouble
“Clearly a Violation” Government ethics experts across the nation are denouncing Ivanka Trump’s late-night endorsement of Goya Foods as a violation of law – and ethics – especially as it comes just days after the company’s CEO appeared on national television in the Rose Garden of the White House...www.rawstory.com
What elected position does she have?
Oh, right. None.
Goodbye.
Wrong, she is her dads advisor. She gets no pay.
Not clicking with what an "employee" is, are you? She also wasn't paid for promoting Goya.
OK, so Obama was paid. And he promoted the Chevy Volt. What should have happened to him in your view?
The president is specifically exempted from the law in question.
You're still only addressing half the equation and obviously doing it on purpose because you realize you're wrong.
If she were PAID by Goya, that would be an argument. She's benefiting from being an unpaid advisor.
But she's making nothing off any of this. That's where your argument falls apart, and you know it, which is why you're dancing and evading addressing the whole picture at once
§ 2635.702 Use of public office for private gain.
An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonprofit organizations of which the employee is an officer or member, and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations. The specific prohibitions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section apply this general standard, but are not intended to be exclusive or to limit the application of this section.
She's not allowed to endorse products.
Right. She didn't gain. That's the point I keep making. Do you understand Goya didn't pay her? You don't, do you?
Hunter on the other hand got his daddy to redirect millions of dollars his way and you don't give a shit
You might want to sign up for a remedial reading class, that's not what the law says.

Does a company benefit from having celebrities endorse their product?
WOW, now you're trying to move the goal posts because you're getting your ass kicked. Good job commie, your deflection doesn't even warrant a response since it's COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC.
