son-in-law, have lied about that again to the american people. understand also that jared kushner was giving mohammed bin salman advice. contrary to the notion that we re trying to get to the bottom of, it he s playing pr agent for the guy who hacked an american journalist. it really is galling. and once again, i think he should be banished from office. and the people who are in charge of foreign policy in this administration are doing a bad enough job on their own without introducing jared kushner. so i think it would behoove all of them to put him behind closed doors and have him not make any more public statements. as far as the saudis go, we have not paid we have not forced them to pay any price. the congress has condemned this. the congress has voted. the white house is stalling. the white house lies. and this is just unacceptable. and i think the united states congress needs to consider further steps to make sure that our disapproval, to put it mildly, of the saudis is felt.
jared kushner is literally one of the most powerful people in america and indeed the world i think you can say. yet despite conflicts of interest so intense he was repeatedly denied security clearances until his father-in-law directly intervened on his behalf rngs kushner basically never has to answer for hisment egregious failures in his many white house jobs. and after this latest interview with axios you can see why they keep him away from the cameras. alexandria ocasio cortez, she calls she has called president trump a racist. mm-hmm. have you ever seen him say or do anything that you would describe as racist or bigoted? so the answer is no. absolutely not. you can t not be a racist for 69 years, then run for president and be a racist. and what i ll say is why the democrats call the president a racist, i think they re doing a disservice to people who suffer because of real racism in this country. was birtherism racist?
