Why Are Jared and Ivanka Partying in the Hamptons With Chuck Schumer?

Amy Wilentz on the international jet-setting class that transcends partisan politics.
By Jon Wiener



Jon Wiener: Jared Kushner has serious legal problems stemming from the Russia investigations, but they have not prevented him from going out.

Amy Wilentz: Jared and Ivanka went to a party given by Lally Weymouth on July 4th weekend in the Hamptons. Lally Weymouth is a socialite, but she’s also the senior associate editor of The Washington Post, because of nepotism. Her mother was the editor and publisher of The Washington Post: Katherine Graham. Republicans were there: In addition to Ivanka and Jared, Kellyanne Conway, and David Koch of the Koch brothers. Also Dina Powell, the deputy national-security adviser in the Trump White House. On the other hand, Chuck Schumer was also there, along with top Democratic funders George Soros and Stephen Spielberg. Various members of the global financial community were also there—all at this party, sipping champagne together, side by side—making you wonder who’s running the world.

JW: But we are told that the Democrats and Republicans have never been farther apart, that we have the most polarizing president in history, that there’s been a complete breakdown of bipartisanship in Washington, DC.

AW: I call this sort of event “biparty-san.” This is the supra-national elite at work. I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, and I’m not one, but they do what they do because it’s in their interest. And their interests transcend the divisions in Congress. They’re beyond patriotism and nationalism; they’re functioning in another world, a bigger world. The Trumps are a part of this because they run a real-estate conglomerate that has global interests. The Russian oligarchs are also part of this. They’ve known each other for a long time. A person like Natalia Veselnitskaya, the lawyer who met with Donald Trump Jr. and the rest of the crew, is attached to many of these influential supra-national figures in Russia. I think that’s why Don Jr., having grown up in that kind of world, doesn’t even understand what it means to have Russians offer you a thing of value like information on Hillary Clinton.

2. So both Democrats and republicans were invited to the same f**king party, and Amy Wilentz who

teaches journalism at UCI, so she now wants to engage in National Enquirer bullshit.

You know I have heard that both Democrats and republicans actually frequent the same places when they are in Washington

Aghast!!!

I am sure glad that there isn't anything else going on that concerns folks as important as this

3. She is the Senior Associate Editor of the Washington Post.

Seems to be fair minded in her editing. Although this group all partying together does hit a nerve.

Brother Don Graham did a big tribute to toast Lally (whose birthday is tomorrow) and shouted out Steven Spielberg's upcoming film about how Ben Bradlee and Katharine Graham challenged the government for the right to publish the Pentagon Papers in 1971

4. He says Don Jr had no idea what "it means" to take help from Russians. Bullshit- they all lied for a

Whole year because they knew exactly what it means.
But report whatever you want to sow division I guess. Pretend that being a sanctimonious prick who never gets out into the world is helpful somehow. Now publish lots of funeral and charity event pics to prove how evil everyone is. Print pics of Bernie hugging Mc Caine.
