Jared Kushner Says 170,000 COVID Deaths is a ‘Success Story’ and People are Enraged

By

In the always tight and hard-fought race for “second worst person in the White House,” Jared Kushner never gives an inch. He seems to have been born ready to give the American voter yet another reason to loathe his entitled-self. Today, Kushner went on to The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer to answer questions on recent developments. Kushner reminded Americans why he should never have been allowed near power.

First of all, Blitzer asked an obvious question to the man who Vanity Fair reports was nominally in charge of the COVID response behind the scenes, at least back when it was a “blue state” problem (in Jared’s words). Is the Trump administration claiming success even as we pass 170,000 deaths? Yes, says Jared, because we learned a lot and “the president” got equipment moved to people, or something.

Now watch this and try to not throw something.

That is not an answer. Indeed, in April Donald Trump told us that it looks like we would “only” lose 60-100K to COVID. That means we’ve lost near double the amount that Trump himself predicted, and most have been lost after that point in time when we “learned a lot.” Plus, we haven’t even hit Labor Day! Incidentally, one of the few things we “learned” is that masks work, but Trump still eschews them.

Kaitlan Collins reports that Kushner responded to a question about Miles Taylor, the former Chief of Staff to DHS, who is out today saying that Trump is terrifyingly dangerous to the United States, that Trump wasn’t interested in possible threats to the United States, only in using DHS to push himself and his political goals. Taylor said that Trump claimed to have “magical authorities” to break the law when DHS administrators said they couldn’t do what Trump was asking, that it was illegal.

Taylor worked for the administration during a GOP House and Senate, and amazing that Jared says that Trump’s “failure” (since Trump was president) is actually due to a “kid” at DHS. Jared also managed to condescend to Taylor despite the fact that Jared is the “kid” who couldn’t qualify for a security clearance and needed daddy to intervene.

This is what happens to someone when they sell their soul and use a lot of plastic surgery:

He is tight in that race for second.

Twitter was disgusted:
