all I know given the capitalizing nature of this First Family the answer is yes all the way up to the POTUS.

as is his wife. She said plainly on tv she was not a Trump supporter.

"Ivanka Trump’s Sister-in-Law Karlie Kloss Says She Voted Against Trump in 2016 and Will Again in 2020"

She has also been vocal in opposing some of President Donald Trump’s policies.

Joshua Kushner, a venture capitalist and co-founder of a health insurance app, is reportedly a lifelong Democrat who also did not support Trump at the polls.

Have you watched the Netflix documentary "Dirty Money", specifically the episode on the Kushner family? Jared was also a "big Democrat" at one time.

Watch the documentary and then get back with us on whether he and his family are to be trusted.

The Oscar site tells you whether you need testing based upon CDC and other guidelines. If you do it shows you places where you can get tested. They don't profit at all from that and are doing what a health insurance company should do.

Snopes --


"What's True
Jared Kushner’s brother, Joshua, is co-founder of the health insurance start-up Oscar, which recently released an online tool to locate COVID-19 testing centers in some areas. At least in the past, Jared Kushner has had a financial interest in Oscar.

"What's False
Oscar is not involved in the actual process of COVID-19 testing or in the manufacturing of such a test. Oscar created a website — open to the public — that screens users to see if they qualify for a test and then provides a list of testing sites nearby."

Kushner is a sniveling POS, so why go after him with junk like this?

And, as poster above notes, Josh K is a Democrat.

but being a Democrat doesn’t necessarily matter. Ivanka and Jared were allegedly Democrats and look what kind of shit they were involved in.

to be VERY sure of the facts before going there.

Hoyt and OKNancy brought up points to consider.

What would we be saying if that company wasn't offering COVID-19 testing and treatment?
