This is just another lie
Kushner said that the Mueller probe was worse for the country than the Russian actions. Which side is he on?
"The issue is not whether or not Trump won. The issue is that we know for certain that Russia meddled in the election. And that they — and other foreign powers — are already working to do the same in future elections."https://t.co/Nx3rqpZxo4

Jared Kushner: Russian interference was "a couple of Facebook ads."

Robert Mueller: "The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion."
Kushner is minimizing the impact of a foreign adversary working to upend a presidential election. How can we expect the White House to take 2020 election security seriously when a senior adviser’s talking points sound like they were written by the Kremlin?https://t.co/5pBNNtv7oD

This was not a "couple of Facebook ads." The Russians not only purchased online ads but also, according to DOJ, hacked into state election databases and stole sensitive voter information of 500,000 people. This was an attack on our democracy.https://t.co/wEsnGAaoxB

Jared Kushner made clear today that he lies as shamelessly as Trump. He is as repugnant a human being as his father-in-law.

New from me: Kushner downplayed Russia’s interference as a “couple ads” that did no real harm. But he obliged Russian attempts to cultivate a backchannel to the WH—twice.

A new DOJ filing says such backchannels can result in “commensurate harm” to the US. https://t.co/3Bk2Gh5YDf
Believing that Bob Mueller has hurt America more than Vladimir Putin does not strengthen one’s case for having a security clearance. https://t.co/2PqvA8VLu2

Jared Kushner downplaying Russian interference as "a few Facebook ads" is a pretty standard blog talking point for the right.

In reality, the troll farm spent $1.25 million per month illegally boosting one candidate, and most of their influence was organic—not an ad at all. https://t.co/AqGUXXyt62

On Sunday, Kellyanne Conway wouldn’t even acknowledge Russia helped Trump.

And Rudy Giuliani effectively said it was fine if they did.
Today, Jared Kushner said the attack was no more than a few Facebook ads.
There is no patriotism in Trump’s GOP. Only cowardly opportunism. https://t.co/hYYgLUlUpN
There was a time when anyone asserting that exposing a plot by a hostile foreign power was more harmful to America than the plot itself would have been considered deeply anti-American if not treasonous. This is the opposite of patriotism. https://t.co/6uSCCh183k
