"Just not going comment on Jared. We're just not going to comment."



During a half-hour news conference marking the end of the two-day G7 summit in nearby Taormina, National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster and chief economic adviser Gary Cohn said Trump had succeeded in all his goals for his inaugural foreign trip ― restore U.S. leadership, build relationships with other world leaders, and show unity among the three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

“Now, it is clear that the president delivered on all three,” McMaster said.

“The president wants you to know that the meetings are going unbelievably well,” Cohn added.

Neither, though, would talk about Kushner, who is also a top White House adviser. “Just not going comment on Jared,” Cohn said at one point. “We’re just not going to comment.”

"Build relationships with other world leaders"? Yeah, like making them dislike him even more? "Unity among the three Abrahamic religions"? Look at the expression on the Pope's face and get back to me. Cohn is spinning fast enough to generate electricity.

they are so out of touch with reality, these repubes must be doing some mind-twisting corporate pharmaceutical. We know, alas, that republicans are bigly into pharmaceuticals, and that Ambien is their drug of choice.

They're not going to be able to get away with that bullshit. The "mainstream" media is onto them and they are pissed.

while shaking hands with the Pope and every newspaper in the world ran a photo of it, these morons would still say he had delivered.

Probably wise just now, because "Oh, shit!" would be a dead giveaway.
