Jared Kushner Whines That the ‘Left Has No Loyalty’ After Friends Dump Him Over Trump

Former White House advisor Jared Kushner is receiving a fair degree of backlash about dear old dad-in-law and complained about it on Glenn Beck’s podcast while promoting his new book, according to Raw Story.

“We are going to be short on time,” Beck said. “So I — there’s so many questions I would like to ask you. For instance, you know if you would have thrown in bad stuff about President Trump, you would have made a fortune. And the left would have loved you, and left you alone.”

“And you didn’t do it,” Beck continued. “Congratulations.”

“Yeah,” was Kushner’s response.

“I learned that the love of the left is something that is — it’s not worth what people think it is,” he added. “I see people contorting themselves and saying certain things that they don’t believe. Or not saying things that they believe, but the left has no loyalty. They turn on you in a second. And I think it’s much better to say the truth (okay Jared. Why don’t you start doing that, and while you’re at it, tell your father-in-law to do the same?)

Just had to add that last part there.

Kushner concluded by noting:

“And at the end of the day, I find a lot of my friends, on the left, they hyperventilate over different things that Trump will say. Or how they perceive it.”

But here’s the thing about those of us on the left that either Kushner doesn’t get or doesn’t care about: We remember that he’s buddies with Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, the man who approved the kidnapping and murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a U.S. resident and noted journalist who was one of bin Salman’s critics.

Vanity Fair’s Bess Levin reports that rather than ending the friendship, Kushner went soft on bin Salman, actually going to bat for him to Donald Trump, meaning that of course, the prince literally got away with murder.

“Apparently having heard these criticisms, Kushner decided to address them in his new memoir — in which he writes that yeah, chopping a man into pieces is bad, but he wasn’t going to let that overshadow all the good his authoritarian pal had done.”

Of course, that $2 billion investment Kushner’s private equity firm received from Saudi Arabia right after his days at the White House came to an end couldn’t have influenced his sentiments, could it?

Nah…Kushner’s not that kind of guy, is he?
