RealNatalieRowe .....and was told where to put it.

These two criminals should share the same rat infested cell.

For the fact the story wasn't retracted read 'rats leaving a sinking ship'!

Terrible. Trying to directly manipulate the media. Good thing these people are being ushered out of office.

Eades_Tweets Interesting. What possible powers would Rupert Murdoch have over whether Trump won or lost in Arizona? Surely, it's a matter of fact who won in that state. What a strange person to call.

Election tampering - he should be prosecuted.

Fuck Rupert Murdoch

hey jared, Fox tell you to f off?😂😂😂

Ha ha ha ❄❄❄ 🍊🤡⚰ 🍾❤🇺🇸

Murdoch has got to be one of the worst people alive. Will genuinely celebrate his death.

How is a “gov’t official” like Kushner able to get away with this type of cronyism? Where’s the GAO to finally put an end to this?

RonnieMotes8 Kusner needs to come out of the closet him and vanky must make strange bedfellows it doesn't surprise me their desperate and will do anything

Biden will win AZ

Even Rupert's bunch can't ignore which way the wind is blowing.

'old' money has to stop running the States.

Desperate bid!! Nonsense!!!

😩 OMG uncle Rupert we are not guilty of anything, it was for personal use. Daddy needs your support. You can have a free gold membership. We could lose our house the big one painted white. You know the one you wanted to buy. Ohhhh no Daddys in a state and Melania's packing bags

Kushner for prison

Trump crime family is desperate... wonder why

What irony CNN and MSNBC have not called Arizona yet!

awkward

They have some good reason to be pissed about that one. AZ remains too close to call.

Cannot get over that picture...he has a genuine smile while hugging Chump never saw anyone smile genuinely being hugged by him.

SDNY if you are listening!

“A desperate bid” GTFO ... every fair-minded American wanted to call FoxNews & tell them to reverse that shitty call. Fox is still MSM despite a few Patriotic & Honest voices & MSMIsTheEnemyOfThePeople

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Awesome. 😂

But fuck Jared.

good luck

He should be helping his father in law pack
