Kushner: Federal government's coronavirus response is 'a great success story'
Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, described the federal government’s response to coronavirus as “a great success story” just a day after the US reached the grim milestone of confirming more than 1 million cases of the virus.

“We’re on the other side of the medical aspect of this,” Kushner told Fox News. “The federal government rose to the challenge, and this is a great success story, and I think that’s really what needs to be told.”

Kushner’s comments are objectionable for several reasons. For one, it is hard to argue that any crisis resulting in the death of at least 59,000 Americans can be categorized as a “great success story.”

2. If you hate Americans

it is indeed a success that still has plenty of grow room to be an even greater success.

4. Especially if there's a disproportionate number of minorities

A clear win for the racist sociopaths

3. "The federal government rose to the challenge"

Sadly, the famous modesty of the Trump White House came into play once again, and there wasn't enough time for the dauphin to detail all the winning the administration did.

I say now who do, who do you think you're foolin'?

be a great success story when he and his father in law are taken by Covid.

He is a imbecile.
