Scarlett Johansson says Ivanka Trump could have a 'big impact' by being vocal, and she's baffled by the first daughter's reluctance to take a public stance on controversial issues related to her father's administration.

Scarlett Johansson says Ivanka Trump could have a "big impact" by being vocal, and she's baffled by the first daughter's reluctance to take a public stance on controversial issues related to her father's administration.

Johansson referenced an interview Trump gave with CBS News earlier this week in which she suggested that she voices disagreement to her father "quietly and directly and candidly."

Johansson skewered Ivanka Trump in a skit while hosting Saturday Night Live in March.

Johansson portrayed the first daughter in a recent Saturday Night Livesketch that showed Trump pitching a perfume called Complicit.

Trump answered the notion that she's complicit in her father's policies by telling CBS, "If being complicit is wanting to be a force for good and to make a positive impact, then I'm complicit."
