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.

"factions within the White House"

For those who like Soap Operas...
I know some women who love their Soap Operas.
If they don't have any good gossip about their neighbors they'll gossip about the scripts the media gives them.

Taking note: Kushner needs a PR manager, a democrat one at that.

I am doing some research on Kushner. So far it’s not good and I am trying to be very kind and objective. An empty suit with a lot of puffery is emerging. He needs to be grilled, tested, and mentally undressed. He could turn out good but so far nada in that direction other than he’s a ‘nice’ guy, a nice guy who is bringing globalist bankers in through the back door of the West Wing as well as the former architect of the TPP. Adding to that he retains Jamie Gorelick as ‘ethics advisor’.

There’s more that weakens confidence in the broader view. But we have President Trump giving orders and we know how smart he is even if he occasionally stumbles, he has always righted himself.

So we have little to worry about at the top.

But in the middle and in the inner circle, we are concerned about Kushner and his cronies pushing away good conservatives.

I’ll post more after Easter.

Love the Lord with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your might!

That’s right. He just told you to sit down, shut up AND see a shrink.

One day this week Rush said there is a belief that Ivanka and Jared are not happy about things being said about them. They are “taking over” the White House so they have the oower to control the narrative about them. FWIW...

mygosh. Just last week we learned that Ivanka met privately with Planned Parenthood. Now she's having a secret dinner with female global elitists to learn how to make things better for all women. I've HAD IT with the Princess. President Trump has to self-acknowledge that when he won the election, it committed him to putting his nation and his campaign promises first. Who knows how many spies for hillary and the dark side lurk in Ivanka's "in" crowd?

Meanwhile, Melania's outreach was a meeting with abused young ladies who live in a shelter close to the Trump estate in FL. Who do you suppose acquired the most valuable information about how to help the plight of women who want to better their life situation?

But youse, she was raised at his knee and he values her as a valued advisor

We don’t know if he agrees with every suggestion she makes

She can be given sensitive tasks certAin in the knowledge she will get it done in the established manner

Gullible conservatives have fallen for the media wedge

There are three main promises that Trump made, that set him over the finish line -

Repeal and replace Obamacare.

Build the wall at the border.

Bring jobs back to the U.S.A.

If the liberals in his team derail this agenda, 2020 will be about these issues.

To the Stickman: Who the *ell do you think you are, slamming HarleyLady27 as being disloyal to President Trump? Throughout the campaign, the interim, and the early stages of the presidency, HarleyLady27 has been one of the most loyal, effective, and informed Deplorables!

If she's seeing something about the Prince and Princess that you're not it's because she's usually ahead of the curve.....and you obviously are not.

Grrrr......TS, do not mess with one of the most incredible and perceptive Freepers there is!

I’m not at all worried about DJT delivering on his promises.

I do, however, enjoy trashing liberals who charge the conservative fort as if they don’t stand out like Martians when they descend. I also don’t think they acquire nearly as much influence, just access. But we gotta watch ‘em like hawks.

If you were in trouble and needed a lawyer would you pass up the best you knew because he defended someone you dislike?

If I needed a lawyer, I'd want the scummiest, most unscrupulous bottom-feeder I could find. You don't hire attorneys to play fair. You hire them to win.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are facilitating a DNC spy network in the White House whether they know it or not.

Instead of hiring a PR person, they should modify their actions to align with their father's campaign agenda and his conservative supporters. The libtard base is never going to support them.

The real problem is that hiring your close family members to the highest offices, creates conflicts such as this. If Trump lets Bannon go, there will be a perception of favoritism and nepotism, vs. the conservative agenda.

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

And spare me on the business stuff—he had a great pro-growth platform, but he brought in a team of liberal Democrats to run the economics side of his admin—including most importantly a guy getting paid hundreds of millions from Goldman Sachs ahead of schedule to advance Goldman interests. And so we get a GOP WH looking at carbon tax—that is very much anti-business and anti-growth but pro-Goldman Sachs. We get Obamacare 2.0 instead of the repeal and free market replacement he ran on. Again, that is anti-business, except it is pro-the insurance companies who basically wrote the bill.

Wake up—we’ve increasingly have a Democrat-run administration, with a bit of Trump, flipping on issues left and right, at the top.

The RINO's in congress don't want to repeal Obamacare, just modify it. Most of them ran on repealing Obamacare and won based on that promise. Now they don't have money for a border wall. They have always had money for a lot of other junk. Their previous excuses of not having the house or the senate or the whitehouse will not work anymore. The excuse factory will have to work overtime next year.
