Jared Kushner Is Doing All The Things Republicans Thought Hunter Biden Did

Republicans are obsessed with Hunter Biden and the couple million dollars that he was paid by a Ukrainian energy company to sit on their board, but they have been completely silent about Jared Kushner raising BILLIONS of dollars from foreign countries that he dealt with while serving in The White House. A new report has confirmed that 99% of the funding for Kushner's hedge fund has come from foreign sources, and not a single Republican is asking questions like they are with Hunter. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this double standard.

One of the greatest things about Jared Kushner is that he is doing quite literally every single thing that Republicans wish Hunter Biden was doing. Jared Kushner used his position in the White House, something that Hunter Biden never had, and he used that position and the connections that he made while in the White House to raise billions of dollars from foreign governments for his own personal gain. I mean, think about this for a second. Republicans were off because Hunter Biden sat on the board of an energy company in Ukraine and was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Even though he's got no, no energy industry experience, he got the job because of his last name, right? Hundreds of thousands of dollars that totaled up to a couple million dollars. Contrast that with Jared Kushner, who used his position in the White House as like a Middle East envoy to make good connections with these governments in the Middle East, that as soon as he left office, he started a hedge fund and they dumped billions of dollars into it.

So, which one of those sounds criminal and which one of those just sounds like a guy in a position where he probably shouldn't have been, but it's not illegal? Here's the thing. A report came out this week telling us that Jared Kushner's, affinity Partners, which is the name of his group, 99% of the money that has come into that group, 99% of it has come from foreign countries and foreign governments, the exact kind of thing that Republicans have launched a years long investigation into President Biden and Hunter Biden for allegedly doing, and Jared Kushner is doing it out here in the open with the people he made connections with while in the White House and Republicans are totally silent. Now, listen, if Jared Kushner did not ever, not one single time, if he did not talk business with these people over in the Middle East that are giving him billions of dollars while he was in office, then this is not illegal at all.

I mean, let's be very clear, but if Jared Kushner did mention to these people like, Hey, maybe I'm not in office a year from now. Maybe I start a hedge fund. Maybe you give me a couple billion dollars if he ever did something to that effect, that's a hundred percent illegal. But those are the kinds of things that would be revealed through an investigation. But Republicans instead are so obsessed with Hunter Biden and his, uh, privates that they don't care what Jared Kushner is doing. They don't care that he's cozying up to these foreign governments, many of whom really not friendly to the United States,

But they've got tons of money and they're giving billions of dollars to Mr. Kushner, if anything in this country ever warranted an investigation. It's whether or not Jared Kushner abused his authority as a officer of the White House to secure these business deals before he left office. And unfortunately, we will likely never get that investigation.
