Jared Kushner Just Got The Humiliation Of A Lifetime On Live TV. Must Watch!

When President Trump took office, he took the bold step of giving Jared Kushner an unprecedented amount of power and responsibility based on the sole qualification that the 36-year-old is married to his daughter. Despite being far far far out of his depth, Kushner’s hermit-like public persona has saved him from the scrutiny he deserves in the first year of this presidency.

Until now. (Brutal video below.)

Kushner made an appearance at the Saban Forum as part of his role as lead U.S. negotiator for Middle East peace — a job for which he has neither the qualifications nor aptitude.

Speaking on live television with Haim Saban, the forum founder and an Israeli-American telecom billionaire, Kushner seemed as if he thought he was in safe territory. Saban has made clear that his global political priority is Israeli security, and Kushner and Trump have actually sabotaged the peace process in order to give symbolic victories to his home country.

Saban let Kushner play expert for one full minute, listening to him rattle off a laundry list of Middle-Eastern issues — as though he were diagnosing a complex problem when he was really giving a third grade report — before he had heard enough.

“I understand that,” Saban said with a chuckle. “But, to achieve that, the team has in it an entrepreneur, a real estate lawyer, a bankruptcy lawyer. I don’t know how you’ve lasted eight months in this lineup, but that’s for another day. And it’s impressive that it’s still going! There’s not a Middle East macher [Yiddish for expert] in this group, so, I mean, how do you operate with people who basically, you know…with all due respect, a bunch of Orthodox Jews who have no idea about anything?”

And Saban was just getting started. Sure, he and Kushner may be ostensibly on the same pro-Israel side, but Saban is not an idiot. He understands that putting dangerously unqualified people into positions of real power is a threat to everybody. It’s something only the most deeply entrenched factions of Donald Trump’s base have yet to figure out.

This humiliating episode may help a few of them get there. The clip, with all it’s schadenfreude, is below. Kushner’s book report ends at the 1:03 mark, and Saban’s zingers begin there:

And to think that was on Fox!? It was pretty clear from what he said, he was just reciting a laundry list of the issues. Probably scribbled a few notes on a napkin and thought that would make him sound like he had a clue. If anyone had asked him to expound on any of the issues, we’d have probably been treated to an entree of word salad.

The guy may be “educated” in that he is a so-called real estate “expert” but his track record for that undermines his credentials in that field. tRump always seems to be impressed by a person’s pedigree so he most likely thinks Jared is a freaking genius. The truth is he is in way over his head and hasn’t bothered to study up on the subject either. Kind of like his famous father in law.

So this is the clown pretending to be the "negotiator" in the ME ?

He doesn't have the slightest idea of what the ME problem is.

He served an indigestible word salad scrambling many issues ! Some of these issues only tangentially related to the Israeli Palestinian conflict.

The conflict has its roots deep in time and in the history of the ME. A long time before the WWII and the creation of Israel.

This family of dingbats really scares me. Their ignorance and their simplistic view will put the world to fire and sword !

Saban insulted the "Orthodox Jews" too. It's his style—one of derisive humor and Kushy sent some back. He seemed to roll with it.

All Saban said in the last analysis is that he doesn't think plan will work. Is that the "humiliation of a lifetime"?

I'm just not seeing it.

If he gets this sort of reaction from Jews, I can't wait for the Palestinian reaction.

What is it with these young men - I dislike them even before they open their mouths, and my prejudices are inevitably confirmed a thousand-fold afterwards. Like most white supremacists, they seem to be all pig-ignorant.
Even if their actions are 100% benign, most women or people of a different hue should rise up in fury that such crassness is rewarded.
