Does France allow convicted felons in the country?

bridledhostility.bsky.social•109 days ago

Of course Trump would appoint this lowlife.

corbynwasright.bsky.social•109 days ago

I doubt the French will even let him in the country, a pardon issued in America stays in America, if they read the newspapers or have social media it will become clear that the man is a wrongun and he won't even get on the plane.

This is a truely disgusting appointment. I hope the French shun him

If Democrats aren’t willing to fight for America BEFORE Trump takes office, they deserve what they get.

imabeeleaver.bsky.social•108 days ago

Instead of pushing back on all Trump’s appointees, wouldn’t energy be better spent demanding recounts?

Trump is corrupt and cheated in last election. You know he cheated in this one too.

Wouldn't it be great to be above the law like Trump and his cronies?

1️⃣ Who is Charles Kushner?
• Trump’s nominee for Ambassador to France.
• Father of Jared Kushner, Trump’s former senior advisor and Ivanka Trump’s husband.
• Convicted felon: tax evasion, witness tampering, and retaliation against a cooperating witness.

See what I mean, the French have some standards and thus thus fella won't get a look in. Europe don't like #Trump and anyway to stick a couple of fingers up at him and tou can bet they'll do it.

2️⃣ Why is this dangerous?
Charles Kushner’s past includes:
• Criminal tax evasion: Filed false tax returns, costing the IRS up to $325K.

• Witness tampering: Paid $25K to hire a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, secretly recorded it, and sent the tape to his sister to intimidate them during a federal investigation.

Chris Christie, the prosecutor, called this case “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes” of his career.

3️⃣ Ambassador to France?
This role represents America on the global stage. It demands integrity, diplomacy, and trust.
• How can a convicted felon, whose crimes involve corruption and retaliation, credibly represent U.S. values?
• France, one of our oldest allies, deserves better.

4️⃣ What’s at stake?
Charles Kushner’s confirmation would:
• Signal that the U.S. prioritizes nepotism over qualifications.
• Undermine America’s credibility abroad.
• Erode public trust in government appointments.

5️⃣ This isn’t about politics—it’s about ethics.
No matter your party, Americans should agree:
• A convicted felon with a history of using power for personal vengeance does NOT belong in such a critical diplomatic role.
