people question why Jared was at the press conference

Senior adviser to President Donald Trump Jared Kushner spoke at Thursday's coronavirus task force briefing, much to the confusion of some social media users who weren't sure why Kushner was there. Kushner is President Trump's son-in-law.

"Jared Kushner running a global pandemic response is the best argument imaginable for strong anti-nepotism laws," tweeted Pod Save America host Tommy Vietor.



"Donald Trump is the only person on this planet who, at a time of historic global crisis, would say, 'Put Jared Kushner on it,' wrote Westworld actor Jeffrey Wright. "That's why we're in the position we're in today."

Former NBA player Rex Chapman tweeted, "Watching Jared Kushner is like watching Doogie Howser but if like Doogie was just a regular teenager and not a child prodigy but he still performed surgeries."

Watching Jared Kushner is like watching Doogie Howser but if like Doogie was just a regular teenager and not a child prodigy but he still performed surgeries.


Some Twitter users, including co-host of the ABC morning program The View, Sunny Hostin, questioned why Kushner was on the task force when he had no medical training.


"Why is Jared Kushner, someone with absolutely no medical background, speaking about a global pandemic and opining about managerial competence?!!! He couldn't even pass a security clearance. Is this a joke????" Hostin tweeted.

He's an absolute failure just like his father-in-law. Maybe that is why Ivanka and Donny like him so much. He'll end up in prison sooner or later, mark my words. Hopefully, so will the rest of that corrupt, grifting family.

They will both pay for it too. Nothing will ever convince me that this was anything other than a marriage of convenience. Too bad they had to involve their children in it.

disgusting perverse behavior from * and Co.

They. Do. Not. Care.

Even a consideration of their future day of reckoning wouldn't rattle these types from carrying out their egregious schemes.

Evil personified.

Demonic activity wrought by workers of iniquity.

The devil--the father of lies and the enemy of our souls--is gleeful and well pleased.
