Trump Adviser Has Contributed Over $100K to Democrats Son-in-law backed Gang of Eight pols, supporters of Obama immigration executive action.

Morgan Chalfant. April 5, 2016 .

Donald Trump’s son-in-law, who has been informally advising the business mogul, has contributed more than $100,000 to Democratic campaigns and committees over two decades.

Jared Kushner, husband of Ivanka Trump, has become one of Donald Trump’s “very few” advisers in his campaign to secure the Republican nomination for president, (snip)

Trump’s unofficial adviser has a history of financing Democratic causes, contributing $101,950 to Democratic campaigns and committees since 1999, according to a review of Federal Election Commission records. Kushner, a real estate investor and newspaper owner, has contributed to committees supporting various Democratic politicians, including those that have been friendly to President Obama’s executive actions on immigration reform.

Kushner contributed $2,000 to Hillary Clinton’s 2000 campaign for U.S. Senate in New York and later contributed $4,000 to the committee supporting then-Sen. Clinton in 2003. (snip)

Recipients of Kushner’s contributions also include Sens. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) and Robert Menendez (D., N.J.), both of whom were members of the so-called Gang of Eight pushing for congressional legislation on immigration reform in 2013. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.), a prominent Trump supporter, was a leading critic of the immigration bill, which he argued paved the path for “amnesty.” Sessions has dredged up his opposition to the bill during the current presidential race to slam Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.), a former GOP presidential candidate who was also a member of the Gang of Eight.

(snip)

Kushner has also contributed to the campaigns of Democratic lawmakers who cheered Obama for granting temporary legal status to millions of illegal immigrants....

Is that more or less than Trump has contributed to Democrats?

Did you know that Glen Beck is a kook bird IMO. Cruz is defined by Becks unstable mind.

Has this adviser been an elected Republican member of Congress, working actively with Democrats to undermine our freedoms and liberties?

If you can post any legislative archives of such, I'll rethink my support of Trump.

Probably why he doesn’t talk at the rally in support of Trump because he’s a Democrat

Oh well, if the son in law is a democrat then that rules Trump out by a wide mile

Damn. Good thing he’s not running for president. Go trump! Win New York and get this primary done. Keep Cruz below 20 percent to keep him from a lone delegate. You will have 1100 delegate going into may. Get it done. Ignore liar Cruz and his biggie eating tendencies. Ignore the whores Cruz sleeps with. Keep with your message of trade.

It is his money and he isn’t running for office.

Ted Cruz fools around with other women and his wife isn’t a conservative.

News at 11:00.

It is very common for prominent businessmen to donate to both parties. It is akin to organized crime’s protection money.

This story leaves out how much he donated to Republican causes during the same time. Without knowing that, it is impossible to interpret this story.

I doubt Jared Kushner will be a big issue in the election. Geesh, Cruzbots are crazy.

Maybe Trump should build a Trump tower in Montana, donate to local Republicans and lose millions because there aren’t enough people to fill it.

Of course he is giving peanuts to Democrats. That’s where you put up towers.

Now why is Cruz going on bipartisan Hispanic identity committees in Texas and in other places?

Ted Cruz is just another lawyer, saying whatever it takes to win the case. Whatever his core values are is impossible to determine from what he says.

The first ad that Hillary runs will be showcasing the signature on the check that Donald Trump gave her.

"Hillary Clinton . . . Trump-endorsed"

Facts? Cruz boogers don’t need no stinking facts. Trump’s son-in-law is also a businessman, and these ignorant Cruz supporters are clueless. I’d love to step on them and squash them like the cockroaches they are.

Donating $100K to liberal politicians would be quite a story if it weren’t for the endless revelations about the farcical outsider Cruz.

His son-in-law is stumping for “rightwing extremist” Paladino 2018 in his little paper as Trump trashes all the big loser papers like Politico and NY Times losing money while Chris Christie throws his dad in prison. Trump is being bought lol.
