The poster boy for presidential nepotism shows his true colors.
The dead eyes of Jared Kushner always give up the game. His voice, a nasally trill from the depths of inherited privilege, cracks slightly under the weight of racist cliche-mongering. His usual verbal nervous tick a recurring right? is missing from the word salad of projected Black victimization that flows like sewage from his razor-thin lips:
One thing weve seen in a lot of the Black community, which is mostly Democrat, is that President Trumps policies are the policies that can help people break out of the problems that theyre complaining about, the dead-eyed son-in-law of the would-be Sun King said. But he [Donald Trump] cant want them to be successful more than they want to be successful.
Yes, you heard that right, folks. Little Lord Fauntleroy in the skinny suit actually said on the biggest morning cable news show in America that his father-in-law is more eager for Black success than the majority of Blacks who vote Democratic.
His audience, the dim-witted Kewpie Dolls of FOX & Friends, received Mr. Kushners sociological insight without blinking. After all, what Mr. Kushner said so blithely was in tune with right-wing orthodoxy. Theres nothing controversial in their vanilla-dipped world about insinuating that Black people generally lack the je ne sais quoi that comes naturally to those born on third base.

But as bad as Mr. Kushner is on the racial politics of this era, it is his performance as Mr. Trumps brain during a pandemic that is disproportionately killing Black people that will forever etch his name in the annals of infamy and Washington incompetence.

The family is horrible. But, the two major mouth piece in-laws, Kushner and Eric's wife Lara are two of the most disgusting people I have ever had the misfortune of listening to.

(300 posts)The series noted that when Trump's lackeys, enablers, and representatives make statements and policy pronouncements, they "put their dead faces on." The eyes are the mirror of the soul, and there is no warmth, no empathy, no humanity present. It's terrifying, really, worthy of a Stephen King horror novel...
