Kushner claims national emergency stockpile isn't for states -- but he's wrong

The Strategic National Stockpile website specifically says it's for state and local use.


Jared Kushner on Thursday defended the federal government's slow response to the COVID-19 pandemic — and in the process wrongly claimed that the Strategic National Stockpile of medical supplies is not actually intended for state and local use.

"The notion of the federal stockpile was it's supposed to be our stockpile. It's not supposed to be states' stockpiles that they then use," Kushner said at Donald Trump's daily coronavirus task force briefing.

The Strategic National Stockpile website says the exact opposite.

"When state, local, tribal, and territorial responders request federal assistance to support their response efforts, the stockpile ensures that the right medicines and supplies get to those who need them most during an emergency," it reads. "Organized for scalable response to a variety of public health threats, this repository contains enough supplies to respond to multiple large-scale emergencies simultaneously."

5. I can't remember all the times Kushner has been suddenly named to head something or other,

but I'm wondering if Trump only puts him in-charge when he wants to pull some financial benefit and wants to keep it in the family, so to speak.

I think back to the Saudi connection with Kushner, for one. Lots of money to be had from them.

Now, this national stockpile and reports of sending supplies to other countries when our states were crying for them.

I know there are a ton of other projects Jared has suddenly been in charge of, but can't remember them all. If money was involved...
Just sayin'.

6. Well, I'm sure he's read 25 books on the subject..

Which pretty much makes him an expert. Hard to argue with that.



Oh, except for the part where he solicited advice about covid45 from Dr. Kurt Kloss, whose fashion model daughter is married to Kushner’s brother.

7. Do you have proof?

That he can read?

9. Well, he says he can..

And I was assuming he was being truthful, since no one in that family has ever told even one tiny little fib.

8. He deserves prison.

I'm convinced he gave the go ahead to MBS to murder Khassogi, and he's directly responsible for needless deaths. He has no fucking business being in charge of the COVID-19 response.
