John Kerry spent $180K for a two day trip to Jerusalem (a LOT more than Kushner!)

The Daily Beast has an exclusive!



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.
