His father is Charles Kushner, the US ambassador in France.
copied from the news:French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has called the U.S. ambassador to Paris, Charles Kushner, to the mat. The reason for this is the US government’s statements about the death of the far-right activist Quentin Deranque.
Deranque died last week after a brawl with suspected far-left activists. The case sparked great turmoil in France.
The U.S. Embassy in France and the U.S. State Department's Office for Counterterrorism announced on X that it would follow the case. According to them, "violently radical leftist extremism is on the rise" and poses a threat to public security.
Barrot reacted fiercely today to that statement in the program 'Questions politiques' on television channel Franceinfo. According to him, it is unacceptable for another country to speak out about a case that "enters into the national community." "We do not accept any instrumentalization of this drama for political purposes," he said. France has "no lessons to receive from the reactionary international community," the minister said.
Kushner is the father of Trump's son-in-law, Jared.
A diplomatic riot has also emerged in Belgium with the United States. Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot has called the U.S. ambassador to Brussels, Bill White, after statements on social media.Not only in Belgium and France, the American ambassadors are stirring the pot: in Poland, Tom Rose argued with the parliament speaker after he said that Trump does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. He called that ruling "despicable, disrespectful and offensive" and it would "harm" the Polish government.

Last week, Trump called on Republicans to “take over the election in at least fifteen spots” and “nationalize” the ballot box. Trump is accusing specific Democratic cities of corruption, such as Detroit, Philadelphia and Atlanta.
“Trump is already trying to cast doubt on the states’ ability to organize elections and count votes fairly,” says Elaine Kamarck. She was involved in campaigns by Democratic presidential candidates and is now affiliated with the Brookings Institute, a think tank.
Under the constitution, the states are responsible for organizing elections and counting the votes. “When the constitution was drafted, the states were very powerful,” explains Kamarck. “They didn’t want a strong central government. That is still a key feature of the U.S. state system.”
White House spokesman Karoline Leavitt nuanced Trump’s statements. According to her, the president wants Congress to set new rules. Parliament has the power to do so.
Trump later reiterated that the federal government must intervene in what he calls “serious corruption.” “If a state can’t organize elections, then the people who stand behind me have to do something about that,” he said.
In March, Trump tried to impose rules through a presidential decree states. Federal judges then ruled that only Congress, and not the president, is competent to establish nationwide election rules.
The president still states without evidence that the 2020 election has not been fair. Last week, the FBI seized ballots and electoral rolls from that period in Fulton County, in the state of Georgia. Trump then spoke by phone with agents involved in the action. This was done via the telephone of Tulsi Gabbard, who, as director of national intelligence (DNI), directs all national intelligence services.
The fact that the DNI is present in a police action is highly unusual. Gabbard writes in a letter to Congress that Trump personally ordered her.
“It’s unheard of, the Trump administration has nothing to do there,” says Elaine Kamarck. “I expect the president will try to show that there was something wrong with the ballots.”From Dutch state News NOS
My bet is Trump will have ICE surround the voting spots and will make them do something if it turns out he lost, lol.
Wreck it Ralph!!
