Weiner Rising in White House: Ally of Disgraced Ex-Congressman Hired
breitbart ^ | IAN MASON

Posted on 04/15/2017 2:12:05 PM PDT by davikkm

Jared Kushner and his wife Ivanka Trump enlisted the services of Risa Heller, a New York City public relations figure known for her work with Democrats including former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Gov. David Paterson (D-NY), when they came to Washington to take up their official posts in the Trump White House, according to a report in Buzzfeed. The revelation came amid reports that a New York City set with a history of friendly ties to the Democratic party is gaining traction in President Donald Trump’s White House, much to the chagrin of conservative commentators. Members of the Kushner family itself donated large sums to Democratic causes until a few years ago, and Jared has reportedly been accused of being “a Democrat” by more nationalist and populist factions within the White House. Another oft-cited member of this NYC-clique is the Director of Trump’s National Economic Council, registered Democrat and former Goldman Sachs executive Gary Cohn.

Asked by Buzzfeed about her choice, Ivanka responded in a statement, “Risa is incredibly talented, driven and passionate. She is a formidable advocate and respected by all as a trustworthy and honest broker of facts.”

Her husband Jared echoed her sentiments. “She’s the best fighter in the business, is universally respected, and most importantly has always told me what she really thinks, good or bad,” he said.

I am so much part of the Trump club that I know if he doesn’t change back and essentially stays with a bait-and-switch Democrat-led administration he will lose the House in 2018 and very plausibly face impeachment proceedings in 2019.

I was behind him fully through the primaries on. The Jared and Ivanka administration, not so much.

That’s a dumb headline for the article... and misleading while trying to be cute! Weiner is not in the White House, nor would he ever be under the current administration

Trump WAS a democrat... so it’s no surprise some of his family are also. I don’t know what his sons are. . I just assumed they are republicans or something other than a democrat.. but maybe I’ve assumed wrong. They sure don’t sound like left leaning libs. I still say the democratic party today are not democrats.. they are way too far left to be called dems.. and maybe there are some who are a John Kennedy Democrat.

If Trump can use his daughter and son in law... why can’t he use his sons, who sound much more acceptable than Kushner. I’ve never seen him say a word... he seems to be a silent hard liner.. even when he’s with Ivanka, he does not seem to talk.

...and you can go put a potato in your mouth...if you ‘righteous’ people on here can't see what is right in front of you, how did you even make it to the ballot box to mark a mark for President Trump...or maybe you didn't and that's your problem!!!

He ran on conservative issues to the right of 16 other Republicans.

I respectfully dis-agree. The Donald Ran on Making America Great, Building a Wall, Repeal and Replace

The Legislature he has signed - to repeal various EPA regulations is a Plus for Business.

The reduction of money and personnel of various Federal agencies is also a Plus as it removes regulatory induced impediments to Business

Now let us address the issue of N.Y. Values - Who is Trump

Trump's Rinocare - ??? Trump is not a conservative, he has hub-nobbled with N.Y. Democrats all his adult life. The Donald is running the show, he delegates, Some of his actions are a Plus some are not.

Still too early in his administration to make any judgments. - When the Stock market takes a plunge later this year we will get a much better idea of who Trump is.

I, like everyone else in FR get to be critical when I feel it’s warranted.

So I will mark you down as disagreeing.

Happy Easter :)

Over 1,100 people have signed a petition demanding that Fresno State fire Maischak for his political views.

No NOT "for his political" views...but because he threatened the life of the president.

“I have stood up for President Trump more than anyone on here...”

Then TRUST the man. You write hysterically & nonsensically, IMO like you’ve forgotten Mr Trump, with Ivanka, Jared & others advising him along the way defeated the Swamp to get into the White House. President Trump didn’t suddenly become gullible & easily swayed by anyone.

I hope you feel better asap & have a very blessed Easter season.

I did not run the list of names that met in secret through google to see how many were Clinton supporters and/or Dems. I suspect the majority.

CTC..or carbon tax Cohn is going to be a major problem

Why?! Surely there are a lot of better people. This leaves a bad impression and can be used against Trump

If the differences between Republicans and Democrats were all about tax rates and such things, your point would be valid. But the differences are about killing 60 million babies, and the Muslim invasion, and whether we will be governed from Brussels, and whether we will have any free speech.

I don’t necessarily care to hear him speak.... it just seemed he was not real sociable and had goals in mind that took his mind in that direction ... dead aim on what he is doing that seems to be upsetting some folks. I don’t know yet what he has in mind on what direction he would like to advise our President.. but I did not vote for Kushner and would like to think he doesn’t have that much influence.
