White House pushes back on Kushner critics

Source: The Hill

The White House is pushing back on criticism of Jared Kushner’s role in responding to the coronavirus crisis after a sustained barrage of media fire on the president’s son-in-law.

...

“It is just kind of sad that they are looking for reasons to criticize a very successful effort instead of doing real reporting,” one senior administration official told The Hill. “This was an unusual situation and [the group] did some unconventional things, but ultimately there has been a lot of success.”

President Trump has also joined the pushback himself. At a meeting with GOP lawmakers on Friday, Trump invited Kushner to outline his work on acquiring ventilators and tests.

After he had done so, Trump added, “You’ve done a great job. Some day people are going to appreciate it. They say, ‘Oh, he’s a relation.’ Well if he wasn’t a good relation, I’d get him out of here so fast.”

A spoiled man child who has failed upwards like a true trumpian doesn't deserve criticism as he reaches his grimy little manicured paws into the pot to clandestinely grab money for himself and the cronies with the Shadow Force?

Well, that's what I call some low standards and what we have come to expect from the worst pResident ever. No standard is to low and the worse you can be, the better you are. Just be sure to love Big Bother.

That's how you take down a nation. The formula has probably been patented by Princess Electra, aka, Ivanka, the one that Dad would date.

for sure.

I think if any accused thief were to call theft an "unconvential" way to get things, they'd be laughed out of court.

Jared is tolerated as long as he is useful.

When his usefulness expires, it will become: 'Blame the Jew'.

(and that will be from our own right wingers, not so much from the rest of the world)

Trump had to tell Breitbart to back off on criticizing Jared.
