Former Obama deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner engaged in a “level of corruption that we’ve just never seen” when talking about his firm’s recent investments overseas.
Rhodes said that Kushner engaged in corruption when asked about The New York Times’s recent reporting that detailed that 99 percent of his investment fund’s money came from foreign sources. The outlet also reported Kushner is working on developing hotels in the Balkans, specifically in Serbia and Albania, and noted that the firm has taken money from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
“I mean, look, this is not subtle corruption that we’re looking at,” Rhodes told MSNBC’s Alex Wagner during his Wednesday appearance on “Alex Wagner Tonight.”
“This is a guy, Jared Kushner, who had no expertise, no qualification whatsoever to be in the White House while he was there. He made it his account to work in the Gulf Arab states. He basically helped lead the cover-up for [Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud]. Get him in from the cold after the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.”
I think they were trying for irony but went too hard
Yeah, was on the fence about needing the /s or not. Would have thought herp derp was enough
That’s what gave it away to me but given the state of consensus reality these days sarcasm and irony have taken really big hits
I’m guessing most people noped out and downvoted before they got that far.
I’m guessing you got all those downvotes because people noped out and made assumptions before finishing the wall of text. It never hurts to have the /s these days.
Ooh I see it now. They need to work on it lol
