Kushner’s MO was to scurry away from every failure that he was responsible for and to claim credit for any success that he could simply because he was nearby....and that is different from(just government, now, not all the folks you and I have worked with over the years in whatever jobs we’ve held), from who in the federal government?

Whether a consultant, appointee, civil servant, elected rep. Who sits there and takes the blame for failures? I look forward to you naming one.

8 years of Soetero and NOT ONE SINGLE SOLITARY thing was his fault. Not one. His ‘Job Task Force’ thing didn’t come up with one job or policy. He never met with them. But it was their fault that they didn’t come up with anything.

I like Navarro, but pointing out the obvious isn’t moving the needle for me.

Again, I’ve never been a fan of Kushner, but he was there when it went down.

On a side note, acknowledging that it’s from Wikipedia... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Accords

All the negotiations started in Jan 2020 with Berkowitz and then Kushner coming on board. So even if the initial stuff was happening in 2019, 6 months to a year doesn’t seem to long to me, given that every President since Carter has talked about peace in the Middle East and done nothing. Some even started and perpetuated wars there.

No matter that Kushner or anyone else tries to avoid blame and grab credit unfairly, we need to try to keep an accurate score. And seeing things as they are is part of that.

The impetus for the Abraham Accords was not some sudden yearning for peace or clever persuasion by Kushner but that Iran's rise and nuclear program alarmed Saudi Arabia and the Sunni Arab bloc and Israel as presenting an existential threat. And they all detest the Palestinians as degenerates and grifters.

The new element was that Trump agreed with them and reoriented US policy along those lines. Kushner was then sent to get the Abraham Accords inked.
