Nicholas Thompson, editor-in-chief of WIRED, talks about CES from Las Vegas!

What is the controversy with the Ivanka Trump speaking at CES?

Well, there were a lot of people who didn't want her here because she doesn't work a lot on tech policy and a lot of people who are in the tech industry don't like the Trump administration. My view, hey, she wants to speak about tech. She's a pretty senior official. Fine for her to be here. Second controversy: She talked a lot about retraining the workforce. A lot of people who feel like the Trump administration has been anti worker and that's not an appropriate position for her to push. More sympathetic to that argument.
