Jared Kushner feels that investigations of Russian election influence in past 2 years have had much harsher impact on democracy 'than a couple Facebook ads' from the Russians, despite the extensive Russian influence effort described in the Mueller report.

"I think the investigations and all of the speculation that’s happened for the last two years has had a much harsher impact on our democracy than a couple of Facebook ads," he said.

"You look at what Russia did, buying some Facebook ads to try to sow dissent and do it, and it’s a terrible thing," Kushner said."But I think the investigations and all of the speculation that’s happened for the last two years has had a much harsher impact on our democracy than a couple of Facebook ads."about $160,000 — I spent $160,000 on Facebook every three hours during the campaign," he continued.

"These groups and accounts, which addressed divisive U.S. political and social issues, falsely claimed to be controlled by U.S. activists," he wrote."Over time, these social media accounts became a means to reach large U.S. audiences." Kushner said Tuesday that when the revelations about Russia's election interference surfaced, the Trump campaign didn't see those efforts as effective.

He forgot to mention the dishonest media.

jaredkushner is absolutely correct

How can anyone trust a pathological liar whose word means nothing? How can anyone support someone they can not trust? How can anyone trust, believe in, and/or support, such a man? Answer, they can not!!!

What’s Jared smokin? Crimes and misdemeanors?

Mueller didn't really speak to Facebook. Media coverage of this had been non stop. It's like the media is serving Putin and not America.

Maybe the media could stop parroting every statement of propaganda Trump and his co-conspirators make in the headlines?! “Try Kushner calls investigations of crimes “harmful” instead?!

Mueller INDICTED at least 13 Russians! RevokeJaredsClearance

👉 He's right, everything from politicians being ran out of restaurants to people being ran over at protests all can be linked back to ground zero which is the resulting hysteria of these investigations all made worse by MSM provocation.

. . .Steele Dossier? Yup, Made up bullshit from Hillary and msnbc

Err, not even the gazillion bucks Hillary put into every form of media in existence was able to influence a win for herself. But we’re all supposed to be terrified of a troll farm’s Facebook ads? 😂😂😂

80,000 Russian sponsored ads is NOT a couple?🙈

Really! What a misinformed, delusional statement

It is BS the Russians do this all the time but because Dems lost it a huge problem.

Kushner is scum and should be ousted plain and simple along with the rest of the tribe.

And watch trump blame everyone else when companies fail and the market crashes due to his tariff wars

Pardon me while I vomit

Jared is correct.

Nobody benefits from Trump’s presidency more than Kushner!!

As usual, he’s right. The liberal media has done far more damage to America than Russia did.

Some silly memes is nothing compared to the damage the msm is causing this country with fake news

And to think he is to settle the Middle East issues.

Son of a felon, man who tried to setup a back channel with the Russians when he cannot pass a security clearance because of the shady business deals & loans he’s taken, man who met w/Russians to gain stolen email says what? Fuck that traitor!

He knows his voice, look, and clueless remarks make us cringe, look for an exit, or poke our eyes out. He truly is the 'apprentice.'

What’s your is talking to people who didn’t look read the Mueller report.

Racista de mierda!

🤦🏼‍♀️

You, Jared, have damaged democracy. You should not have the clearances you have and are not qualified for your position. You are responsible for lessening the greatest country in the world. How do you sleep at night?

Jared Kushner is involved in the coverup. No wonder he makes light. Like father like son.

Jared is a fool.

Ruasia’s “B”.

Jaredcas nieve to the world of leadership as his father-in-law, led around and praised, not as good at chaos as his father-in-law.

A couple🤔🤥

I Don't Care What This Idiot Has To Say. He Is Nobody.

Genius

What a jerk.

A few Facebook ads what's wrong Jared you can't Count.

Kushner B.S.

The truth of the matter! 👇👇

Kushner whines about Russian interference in US election but ignores the many occasions where the US has interfered in the elections held in other countries. He doesn't mind the influence of Israeli-tied organizations like AIPAC or Saudi Arabia or Qatar influencing US elections.,

He's exactly right

Ever notice that Kushner and Bond villian Le Chiffre are never seen together?

If one of your hacks says something it’s stated as fact—when anyone around DJT —you soften it to “feels”.... bias is subtle

He is 100% correct. Obama knew and did nothing. That is a fact. No one cares. This has caused exponentially more damage than fake Russian propaganda.

He should know that we all know about his collaboration with our adversaries! Why on earth is he so damned protected? He is a traitor

Kushner should be tried and convicted. He’s as much a criminal as his father, wife and TrumpTheLoser. Lock him up.

Who cares what he feels?

Did you move your stuff to Russia yet, for when you defect...?

So you minimize what the Russians did. Well I will minimize you in2020

Still trying to blame others for losing the election, eh Democrats? I'm thinking the problem might be your ideas, like open borders, killing infants, appeasement policy, free stuff, and screaming racist every time you lose an argument.

Nothing! Absolutely nothing will cause Trump and members of his Administration to criticize Putin and/or Russia. Deplorables, have you ever bothered to ask yourselves why?

He’s clueless

Meddling which all occurred on Obama’s watch. Like the do thing president he is, he allowed Russia to buy 7 FB ads which changed the election.

Lock Him Up

Does anyone actually take Jared Kushner seriously?

No what's really surprising is how inept MSNBC is in actually discovering how this was created and all the lies Associated to the biggest cover-up in this nation's history. maga walkaway potus votepimps toxicliberalism

Botox Boy

He is a crook trained to do what he does. He has his lying father in law to back him. All of u make me sick money talks and bull ---- walks

Good grief guys. You can’t just make stuff up anymore. Lies like this are more than a stretch at this point. Maybe try to be objective and look at all the good he has done. Not the Obama fake good crap, like actual good.

Democrats are Putin’s greatest weapon.

Just a member of a voter sanctioned family criminal enterprise

This is insulting does he think that he the 'invisible man' can just show up and throw the America people a bone? The White House is now stone walling our duly elected officials saying NO to congressional oversight. Just take a seat ..how about your security clearance?

He’s right.

He’s an idiot.

Another Nazi sympathizer any Jew who has experience knowing about the holocost we must not let history repeat itself this Kushner is a Nazi in disguise we are not ok with it

talk about a smug little rich punk. The Arabs bailed out this sniveling traitor who tried to set up a back channel to Russia, gave MBS list of dissenters he could round up torture and kill, selling nuclear secrets to Saudis. belongs in jail for the rest of his life. CNN POTUS

jaredkushnr - Yeah, 126 million ads by the Russians on Facebook alone is just 'a couple.'

While likely inaccurate, it seems much closer to the truth than anything MSNBC has said on the topic in over two years.

Lock this ass up

He’s saying the investigation into the Russian cyber attack on our democracy was as destructive as the actual attack. Treason

Jared’s getting indicted. Drop the soap Kushner.

Now understand why we hear him speak on very rare occasions!

JAIL Jail Jail !

....and confirmed the fact that realDonaldTrump son-in-law law is brain dead ......

Never mind what he intelligence community has said. Never mind what other countries have said. Never mind crimes against humanity that Russians and Saudi’s have committed and no US position whatsoever. It was better when Kushner kept quiet

He must live in an ivory tower and not be connected to the real world.

Jared works against the law on every matter. I don’t listen to Jared, I feel that he has taken most things in his hands unlawfully and deceitfully. He isn’t worthy of any thoughts of SECURITY CLEARANCE. He lies and delivers lies in his answers. There is nothing right about RUSSIA

No surprise that he doesn't have any problem with 'just a little bit of treason'....

Your slanderous fake news has by far been the worst

Lmao

There was more then a couple

So sad and distrubing!

Uttered by a nobody ...

He has a good point! MSNBC is clueless !

All that money has totally blinded him.

I don’t think he’s an authority on that issue.

I liked him better when he did not talk.

Clear conspiracy continues.

Jared's now heading up the gaslighting portfolio?

No, the biggest negative impact on democracy is his father in law.

Why does a proven liar still have a position as a journalist at MSNBC?

his words are alarming beyond all measure. He is a traitor to this nation and a self serving criminal. What this ignorant fool does not realize is that there are numerous persons who are far more credentialed than he who have affirmed the Russian assault on our nation.

Who in the hell would listen to this Treasonous fool? They’re all lying to the American people! They all sold out our country for their greed of money. Don’t be surprised one of the sealed indictments is for Jared Kushner! impeachTraitorTrumpNow

I wish he would be indicted & led down Pennsylvania Avenue in handcuffs where everyone could see him & throw things at him.

Thats a sickening comment. Who’s side is this guy on? Not ours

As if Russians on Facebook and Twitter are more influential than America’s own MSM. Let’s not forget, all of the media outlets also have active Facebook and Twitter accounts. FakeNews

And you’re about as truthful as a couple of Sarah Sanders.

Snot trader

satanComes2Seperate TheOnlyDifferenceBetweenPeople GoodOrEvil HellIsReal ThePrescription 4ASinSickWorld 2Chronicles714 HelpUsGod!!!

The media and the Democrats spewing nothing but lies for 2 years

the only ones doing harm to our democracy are you and trump and his associates👎 and the republican party 👎that doesn't do its constitutional duty.🤬 your elected by the people but your oath is to the constituion🦅

They dont read

'It wasn't the domestic violence, it was the fact that she called the cops that ruined the marriage.'

I find the idea of Jared as “extraordinarily smart” extremely hilarious. Not one member of that family comes close to being called that. Their sole talent in conning people and taking their money.

I didn’t realize they were even admitting to “a couple Facebook ads” by the Russians... or that there was even a Russia at all? Go figure.

Yea... He might be a little biased about this. Maybe he should read the report

Yeah we just need more secret Russian connections

What a Fucking Joke🖕

He is living in a delusional world, they all are, wow!

Just more proof he has no clue

Kushner is right. The russiacollusionhoax consumed your network for over two years. Your above tweet is to deny this reality and to continue the hoax. Your dishonesty is transparent.

Traitor

Yeah but he's a punk-ass kid with 💰 playing Savior of 'Merica who has a vested interest in making all this go away, so WTF is anyone listening to him?

Stupid. He’s as stupid as trump. His ego and holier than thou persona allows him to be dismissive of the harm to our country. Murder and anything else that has not served him. He’s an embarrassment and probably could be on a no fly list

And the hack of the DNC? I don't suppose he condemned that.

When Kushner is prosecuted for Treason & OTHER HIGH CRIMES we will all look back on this & NOT LAUGH!

Right, we’ve done the Kemlins work for them!! Thanks to the MSM and Democrats in Congress!! Think about that!!

Obama needs to be brought to task for allowing the Russian influence.

He’s absolutely correct

LockHimUp

BREAKING NEWS: JARED KUSHNER IS LYING

This guy needed a dad and father in law to have a name... tells a lot about accomplishment

what do you expect from a traitor?

Jared's IQ amounts to 79.

LOL DID YOU ALL EXPECT HIM TO TELL THE TRUTH?

corruption

That’s as real as his job in the White House.

BackboneNo Page 156 of the Muller Report: The name of the Russian that sent it is redacted, but after hearing that Clinton called Trump to concede, someone texted Dmitriev (financial guy close to Putin, met Erik Prince in the Seychelles) the following: 'Putin won.'

No way that MSNBC thinks anything Jared does is even near being okay.

Too bad you boy Obama didn’t stop it when he was in office. Like this stuff mattered anyway.

Kushner is s joke. Lock him up!

I don't see how anyone can see it any different. Two years of fraud and negativity thrown at a guy who colluded with NO ONE!

Divided the country more that u can ever imagine over something that didnt happen

He's just as morally bankrupt as Trump. He says 'a couple ads' - there were more than 126 million ads according to Facebook. Another liar.

Traitor

He's right. The time wasted with this hoax and the damage done by the ever so desperate media and the Democrats are truly shameful

If were smart, he would have kept his mouth shut.

Kushner’s comments today minimized the Russian cyber attack on our 2016 election! He takes this stance because he wishes to continue his own corruption and self-dealing. Full stop!

Yah think....all thanks to you and the orange buffoon in the WH.

It wasn’t a couple of ads.

we r a free society w/free social media. russians have been meddling for decades even before obama was pres, w/no effect in our election results. we the american voters r smart, we dont vote based on social media. as long as our election systems r invulnerable, we r ok.

Jared is correct

You've posted this several times today now! What's the matter not enough haters jumping in on it! Try a new one!

How ignorant! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Sooooooooooooo wrong. Lying is contagious in the Whote House, like the measles.

Jared lies

putinsclown Does this guy hasn’t read the mueller report

Living in an 'alternative world'....'alternatiive'...does anyone if RandyRainbow has done one like this yet? 😆

“Silent genius”

And this imposter has national security clearance...

100% Fact

Jarad is either delusional or evil. I'm going with evil enough to reduce the whole Russian interference and this administrations association to it comparable to a couple of fb ads. He's creepy

They are stomping all over the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA with impunity, SenateDems HouseDemocrats are you ok with this? I can confidently say the fate of this country hinges around this moment in history

Ahhh... The Vampire speaks! 🖕

He’s right. The Russians did not affect voters’ votes. Only ads. But did you see the latest about Clinton emails? Wow!!

Traitor kush is giving nuclear secrets to MBS, in other news

This is just common sense knowledge, are people so stupid that they actually believed our president was a Russian agent, who spread the lie relentlessly the media seems far more logical that they've been infiltrated by Russia, I don't like trump your hired

This is Republican logic in a nutshell right here. 'Investigating my misdeeds will be worse than my actual misdeeds!' And the sad thing is that there are people who actually believe that.

Some times you should not say what you’re thinking

Jared Kushner, talking about Russian involvement in American elections. Might I remind you, Charles Kushner, Jared's pops, was convicted of illegal campaign contributions amongst other things. TrumpCrimeFamily

How's 666 doing Jared?

If you actually read the Mueller report you'll understand why he said some dumb s*** like that

a repulsive display of guilt

tuan007 Explain again why we give a fuk what Kushner thinks

Gee, Trump's 'Media Guru' has never heard of Cambridge Analitica or of the data of 87 Million ppl it was said to have pilfered from FaceBook? I would have thought Steve Bannon might have mentioned that Company's expertise given he was on it's Board of Directors as a VP?

No one said Jared was bright.

Russian Facebook ads made me vote Trump 👍 I'm super easily fooled 🤣

He is a hollow shell. Vacant eyes. Oily skin and voice. Forked tongue. Yet another sociopath.

What do you expect from MBS ‘s friend He is friend with MISTER BONE SAW

Did you ask him if he read the report?

You lost me at “Jared Kushner feels like”. These people have no feelings and are incapable of thought.

I hope little Thurston Howell the third goes to jail.

Give that man security clearance so he can pay off his debt to the Russians.

'Jared Kushner feels...'

The FBI, DOJ, special prosecutor & Ds made sure over 2 yrs they made Russia’s heretofore unsuccessful effort to destabilize confidence in US elections come true.

Of course the douche bag feels that way. I would deflect too if I were complicit.

The main stream fake news medias daily words for the last two years ' 'Russian Collusion'. Fast forward the main streams fake news media daily words for the next two years 'road map'... oyyy very, when does it end.

Jared talk to us when you become the man of your house ... Jared Trump !!

And Russian asset boy’s opinion matters why?

Well, the Kushner apples don't fall far from the Trump tree... In other words, MAGAts, that manure sure smells like fertilizer!

And how many indictments, Jared?

'. . .despite the extensive Russian influence effort . . .' The effort had no effect but LA Times won't inform you of that.

Feelings....😢 Oh whoa whoa Feelings... Poor JaredKushner

What absolute BS.. We are under attack by Russia and yet crickets from the Trump Administration. Have we had enough yet

ShepNewsTeam said it all. When realDonaldTrump admin starts losing at FOX it's a very big deal and showcases just how low the lies of the Trump admin. have gone.

STOP COVERING THIS PIECE OF SHIT. STOP COVERING SOMEONE WHO IS NOT AN ELECTED OR APPOINTED OFFICIAL - WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE A SECURITY CLEARANCE!!! He's married to Ivanka. That's all he is. STOP!!!

funny how msnbc doesnt mention that those Russian contacts were on the payroll of Fusion GPS who was workingfor the clinton team. FAKE NEWS MAGA2020

Can you say Desperate Distractions? Can you stop playing into them? Think, for God's sake. Think.

No no no no

he can take his feelings and shove it up his backside.

Daddy went to Prison 666 boy ur next!

Nobody asked you, Jared. Sit down.

In the words of your father-in-law, 'BULSHIT'

Russia spent $73,000 on Social media 7% of that was Political. Clinton and Trump spent 8 MILLION on Social Media ALL was Political. Russia posted for BOTH SIDES trying to so discord.
