... after hearing about delayed mask shipments, according to new book

Jared Kushner lashed out at a public health official when he learned in late March 2020 that millions of masks wouldn't arrive in the US until June, according to an excerpt of a forthcoming book reported by The Washington Post on Monday.

"You f---ing moron," Kushner reportedly yelled at then-assistant secretary of the Health and Human Services Department, Robert Kadlec, who purchased 600 million masks as coronavirus infections had spiked across the country. "We'll all be dead by June!"

The scene was revealed in the new book, "Nightmare Scenario: Inside the Trump Administration's Response to the Pandemic That Changed History," by Washington Post reporters Yasmeen Abutaleb and Damian Paletta.

Kushner grew so frustrated that he threw his pen at the wall, the book reports. At the time, he had taken on greater responsibilities as senior advisor to former President Donald Trump, playing an influential role in the White House's COVID-19 response.
