They even show the details from a US government site that tracks expenses.
Outrageous, right?
Only if you don't act like a reporter and ask if this expense was excessive or normal. Which, of course, the Daily Beast didn't do.
Kushner's trip was to lead a delegation of Americans and Israelis to Morocco in the wake of the peace accords between Israel and Morocco. Sounds like a pretty important trip, not the frivolous way it is being described in the media.
I took a quick look at the same USASpending.gov website to see how much was spent on trips to Israel during the Obama era.
Here's one - a two day trip to Jerusalem by John Kerry on June 11-12, 2013. The trip is described as "IGF::OT::IGF GSO/TRAVEL - SECSTATE 11-12 JUNE PAY LODGING IN JLM."
It costs the US taxpayers $181,245.
It sounds like the Kushner trip was a bargain!
Where is the outrage at how much a Democratic administration spends on hotels?
The media isn't interested in that story.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is media bias.
