Quote:

"'No political refugee, even Albert Einstein, has received better treatment by an American academic institution than that received by Chen from NYU,' Cohen said.

"In responding to the New York Post story, Cohen told a writer and former State Department official named Emily Parker, 'No good deed goes unpunished.' (Parker tweeted the quote, which Cohen confirmed was his.)

Note: So Mr Einstein was a political refugee?!  But it is not true, in any sense of the word. Certainly he was not admitted to US as a "refugee"--but as a scholar!  See
