“Just a couple of Facebook ads”

Here's video of Jared Kushner downplaying Russian interference as "a couple Facebook ads," and saying he thinks "the ensuing investigations have been way more harmful to our country." pic.twitter.com/JkiIjQng48— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) April 23, 2019
You will notice that he ignores the hacking and all the president’s ecstatic and repeated praise for Wikileaks and the ongoing insistence that Russia didn’t do it. Just a couple of Facebook ads. No biggie.
And then there is this:
Jared Kushner, asked at TIME 100 summit why the Trump campaign didn’t reject Russia’s overtures:
“In the campaign we didn’t know that Russia was doing what it was doing.”
“The notion of what they were doing didn’t even register to us as impactful.”— Sahil Kapur (@sahilkapur) April 23, 2019
Yet he took meetings proposed as the Russian government promising to provide dirt on Hillary Clinton. Five days after that, on June 14th, the Washington Post reported this:
It didn’t occur to him then or any time later that something nefarious might be happening.
It’s all fine. The Mueller report found that they hadn’t entered into a conspiracy with the Russian government. So, the only conclusion that you can come to is that every last one of these people is an unethical, clueless, bumbler who shouldn’t be allowed to drive cars or look after small children much less run the most powerful nation on earth.
The most amazing thing about it is that even after all this time, they truly don’t seem to have even the slightest awareness of what people find so reckless and appalling about what they did. They are shameless morons, a very bad combination.
