Kushner Distanced Himself From Trump Ahead Of Jan 6: Peter Baker - MSNBC



New York Times Chief White House Correspondent Peter Baker joins Kristen Welker to discuss his reporting on Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner distancing themselves from former President Trump ahead of the insurrection, and how Kushner’s testimony may impact the January 6 Committee’s investigation into the attack.

“Before Joe Biden had even been declared the winner, Jared Kushner and his wife Ivanka Trump saw which way that the election was going, and there was no interest in their part in participating in this fight to claim that somehow it had been stolen,” explains Baker. Kushner told his father in law, “if Rudy is going to be the guy running this, then I don’t want any part of it.” Aired on 06/08/2022.

in the tent watching a computer with TFG on January 6.
How does this have anything to do with “washing their hands of this”?

Remember her infamous Tweet of "“American Patriots – any security breach or disrespect to our law enforcement is unacceptable. The violence must stop immediately. Please be peaceful.”

She called the rioters "Patriots".

Daddy's Little Girl no matter what.

Jared had been hiding himself in the Middle East and wasn't around when January 6 went down.

Trump will say that he was just listening to advisors. Rudy's lawyers will say that Rudy is senile. I think the 1/6 Committee has enough evidence to show that explanation is bullshit, but what will Americans believe? There are so many ignorant people in this country who don't pay any attention to evidence, public opinion could go either way.

This smells like PR image repair. The Kushner pariahs are so desperate to weasel their way back into society. Pathetic.
