New details emerge about Jared Kushner's refusal to help battle COVID-19

A bipartisan group of heavy hitters and business leaders met March 20 at the Federal Emergency Management Agency to discuss how to make and distribute personal protective equipment, and certain government officials urged them to return the next day to meet with President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior White House adviser, reported Vanity Fair.

"The federal government is not going to lead this response," Kushner told the group at the start of the meeting, seated in a chair taller than the others around the conference table. "It's up to the states to figure out what they want to do."

of the Covid. Someone with access to orders/influence was responsible, but I never heard who was doing it.

There were several instances that came up in the news. I always thought it was Jared.

A total threat to the U.S.A. and Kushner says.."It's up to the states to figure it out and what they want to do."

If it came from Trump, then Trump is gone too. If Donald Trump decided that, then yes, he will go down as the very worst president ever. Except for Fox, no one will want to talk to him.

All states that have the means to manufacture masks, gloves, face shields, anything that is useful in this pandemic... you are under attack. Send state police to protect these sites from federal looters. Start implementing severe punishment for anyone who blatantly defies state mask and distance orders. Start letting these lunatics know that the state will handle this because the federal government could care less. And, make absolutely sure that everyone in your state knows why you did this, and who was the cause of why you took the steps you did. (I might also suggest that all federal offices in your state be monitored, but that's just me).

You lot think Jared Kushypants is going to agree with this, after saying states should be handling things?
