8. To be fair, he didn't "defend" Kushner.

He's a "wait and learn all the facts" man. He's also that way about calling for impeachment.

Kushner & the W.H. haven't made statements yet about the reports about Kushner.

Different people have different views of things. If it were you, I imagine you'd think it fairer to at least wait until you have your day in court.

OTOH, when we're talking about security, there is some reasoning behind erring on the side of caution.

Booker said, ""I think we need to first get to the bottom of it, he needs to answer for what was happening at the time," Booker said. "It raises very serious concerns for me and that could be a potential outcome that I seek." (speaking of pulling the security clearance.)

I don't know much about Booker, but come on...he didn't "defend" Kushner in any way. Obama would have said something similar as a response, IMO.

Not so much fake news as it is simply a premise predicated wholly on a logical fallacy. LanternWaste May 2017 #16
