If you wanted to tell the whole story, you'd add the Kushner side of the family -- right?

Take a look at that one. You'll find a family whose apparent purpose in life is to serve as the financial backers of every corrupt Democrat sh!tbag between the Hudson and Delaware Rivers.

I don’t judge people by their parents. Kushner’s giving pattern is conflagrated by the fact that his father made political donations in the name of family members. Jared was active in Democratic political circles, notably supporting Cory Booker in 2014.

I think that Kushner did the expected thing in his circles but has grown past that stage. Certainly we owe him a debt of gratitude for his work in the successful Trump campaign which saved us from Hitlery & may allow the draining of the swamp and the rebirth of accountability and patriotism.

In the words of Anselme Polycarpe Batbie “He who is not a republican at twenty compels one to doubt the generosity of his heart; but he who, after thirty, persists, compels one to doubt the soundness of his mind.”

“Jared declined to comment for this article. But OpenSecrets data show that between 1992 and 2004, 44 political donations of $1,000 or more were made in his name, and with the exception of four of those donations to then-New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani in 1999, all went to Democrats. In 2000 and 2003, Kushner made four donations totaling $6,000 to Hillary Clinton – now the Democratic front-runner and someone who Trump said he hasn’t “even started” going after.

Jared was a teenager or college student when many of these pre-2004 donations were made, and it isn’t clear to what degree he was actually behind them. In 2005, his father Charles Kushner pleaded guilty to charges of making illegal campaign contributions (among other things). According to news reports, he avoided contribution limits in part by donating through different entities and under the names of relatives.

Ben Dworkin, director of the Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics at Rider University, told The Real Deal. Unlike other real estate scions like Rob Speyer, Jared isn’t prominently involved in industry groups like the Real Estate Board of New York, according to well-connected lobbyists.

“He’s never been involved in politics, doesn’t necessarily like politics and isn’t particularly politically attuned,” one consultant said of Jared.”
