Jared Kushner, former President Trump’s son-in-law and top White House advisor, told author Chris Whipple that he had “knock-down, drag-out screaming matches” with Trump over his 2020 election loss and subsequent attempts to overturn the election.
In The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House, which is being released this week, Whipple writes that while fighting about claims of voter fraud, Kushner told Trump, “With all due respect, I’m not going to like what you are doing, and you’re going to be screaming at me.”
“Look, when you’re out of here, a lot of people will scatter,” Kushner yelled at Trump, according to the book. “I’m with you until you hit the dirt — so you may want to listen to what I’m saying.”
Jacob Kornbluh of The Forward wrote after reviewing the book: “Since election day, Kushner and Ivanka Trump had kept telling themselves that Trump would eventually come around and accept his defeat, but “just needed to nurse his wounds,” Whipple writes. Even after supporters of Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Kushner reportedly told friends he still hoped Trump would invite Biden to the White House on inauguration day. “That image of the two presidents together, he thought, was what America wanted to see,” Whipple writes.”

Anyone who thinks the 2020 election was not ripe with fraud on the democrat side is out of their cotton picking mind.
@Jersey Jew: Yes, but was it enough to sway the election?
i second Jersey Jew’s comment
Jersey Jew, he doesn’t say it wasn’t. Bill Barr doesn’t say it wasn’t either. As far as I know no prominent Republican denies that there was massive Democrat fraud.
But there’s a big difference between knowing that and having actionable evidence that can be used to change the result. That is a huge huge burden, and it’s almost impossible to meet it no matter how blatant the fraud is.
Lin Wood, Sidney Powell, Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani, etc. falsely claimed that they had such evidence; they convinced Trump that they had it, and thus he couldn’t understand how the courts were not accepting it. But their “evidence” was a big flop. Some of it was outright fabrication, some was incompetent sleuthing by amateurs, and some of it was reasonable suppositions supported by a great deal of circumstantial evidence, but they didn’t seem to understand that that isn’t enough.
I stopped believing what everyone says in other peoples names on the media, I find this hard to believe too. everyone person with a brain in his head knows Biden cheated and trump won.
The question never was if there was fraud. We all know there was, and Kushner knows too, probably enough fraud to alter the election results. The battle between Kushner and Trump was whether there would be anything gained by fighting the election. We all understand that Trump would have been the leader of the Republican Party today had he been less the obnoxious child and more the seasoned politician. Kushner recognized that, and tried to give his father-in-law that understanding, but Trump’s ego unfortunately led him down a foolish path, so now he’s viewed by most as a pathetic has-been.
A liberal usually stays a liberal…
For all those here claiming “although there was big fraud but not to change the result” – please turn on your brains. Do you really think they do this massive massive operation, with trucks from NY with PA ballots, suitcases in the middle of the night, etc. etc. (all testified in sworn affidavits) – NOT to change an outcome???
Do you ever remember a president winning without winning FL? Without winning OH? and in those states Trump does unbelievably with blacks, Hispanics etc.. and so too in the rest of the country, other than these 5 states??? – and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Come on.
MDShweks, there were no “trucks from NY with PA ballots” and no “suitcases in the middle of the night”. And if anyone had sworn these things in affidavits they’d be in prison by now.
just keep America and their rules out of Israel…..no other question no other rule…too bad the jews there like it far too much to leave behind two cars and a shopping mall
Millhouse, courts didn’t reject Guliani evidence of voter fraud. They REFUSED to even LOOK into it. He had thousands of signed affidavits of witnesses. No court wants to touch it. Now why not? If it’s all false as the fake news claims, why not look into it and show the American ppl that there is no proof!

And I suppose the CIA knew nothing, and never even heard, about Oswald? And for the purposes of elections, look up the so-called New Black Panther Party voter intimidation back in 2009. And of course there never was those 51 ex-intelligence officials who signed public announcement trashing the Biden laptop revelations. And I suppose the “twitter files” are fake. And so forth ad infinitum. My point is that no one can legitimately deny how corrupt and partisan the system is and that “if” there was election fraud favouring a certain side then the “system” would cover it up. In other words, there is no legitimate trust in the “system”.
in an honest world, the amount of fraud that there was should have disqualified the election. There are too many reasons to doubt that an old demented pathological liar won without really campaigning.
No, renas. Giuliani had no evidence of fraud, and never presented any such evidence to any court. On the contrary, Trump’s lawyers explicitly denied to the courts that they were alleging fraud. And the reason is that the kind of evidence needed is almost impossible to come up with, especially in the very small window available in a presidential election. It’s not that the fraud is not there, or that it’s not obvious; but knowing it and proving it are two different things. It’s like trying to catch five-inch fish with a six-inch net. The water can be teeming with them, you can see them clearly with your eyes, but your net will usually come up empty, or nearly so.
Georgeg, of course the CIA knew about Oswald. He was a known communist, so they were watching him. Not closely enough to stop him before he shot Kennedy, but enough that when he was caught they knew who he was. What’s that got to do with it?
The point about Democrat election fraud is that it was clearly there, on an unprecedented scale, but the evidence needed to change the result did not exist. It’s almost impossible to find such evidence. The rules are rigged to make it almost impossible. Trump’s problem is that Wood, Sullivan, Guiliani, and co claimed that they had done the impossible; that they had actually come up with the necessary evidence. And they convinced Trump of this; he’s really not very bright, and he fell for their lies. But when they presented their “evidence” it fell to pieces.
The whole Dominion thing was a huge distraction; there was never any reason to suspect it of wrongdoing. Every single thing said about Dominion was a lie. And the reason they made up that lie was because IF it were true then it would be huge. They wouldn’t have to prove their case vote by vote; they could invalidate tens of thousands of votes at once, and that would be enough to reverse the result. But when push came to shove they had nothing. The real fraud doesn’t happen like that, in one place, it’s distributed. It’s not one fraudster, it’s thousands of them, each acting independently for the same cause. And you have about three weeks to catch them all. It can’t be done; certainly not in time.
Milhouse, How in the world are you so sure there isn’t? Did you see the truck driver’s testimony like I did?
You seem to simply not know that hundreds of citizens risked a lot by coming forward with sworn testimonies, and to date NO COURT has rejected it on the merits, only on standing (which means they never even looked at it)…
Ask Matt Gaeeatz about it…
Milhouse writes, in his/her first comment: “… there’s a big difference between knowing … [there is electoral fraud] and having actionable evidence that can be used to change the result. That is a huge huge burden, and it’s almost impossible to meet it no matter how blatant the fraud is.” This comment is the shoddy foundation for Milhouse and all other election deniers to say that Trump won the election. Please (i) show us the evidence or (ii) shut up already.
Me thinks that huju doesn’t understand milhouse’s comment
Millhouse, as md shweks and I have said, no court has yet looked at evidence of fraud from Guliani. You said they presented their evidence. To who? Which court? Name one..I bet you can’t.
I think coffee addict does not, and does not want to, understand my comment.
@motchah11
Please forgive me, because this is all we’ve seen for 2 years, but that is among the most asinine questions a person can ask. Let me explain it to you. If I pick off a votes in different counties spread out over different states, it’s very easy to change the result of a state and its electoral votes. It’s a very very simple thing. Pick off a few thousand votes here and there throughout different states and it makes a difference.
The fact that you can’t see it on a massive scale doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. It’s so clear and obvious but the way you ask that question, tells me that you would never notice these things even if it bit you on the elbow.
I think Trump was so much better for the world then Biden, but when not even the strongest legal teams can prove fraud in the election then its super unlikely there was, at least to the extent of swaying the election to the complete other side. In fact we have recordings of Trump demanding how many votes he needs to “come up with” in Georgia to win.
