Promoting His Memoir, Kushner Offers Tortured Defenses of Trump

WASHINGTON — Making the rounds promoting his new memoir, Jared Kushner, son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, this past week ran into the question he has managed for months to avoid commenting on publicly: Did he agree with Trump’s false claim that the 2020 election was stolen?

“I think that there’s different words,” Kushner told talk show host Megyn Kelly during a friendly interview on SiriusXM. “I think there’s a whole bunch of different approaches that different people have taken, and different theories.”

Pressed to say whether Trump lost, Kushner demurred. “I believe it was a very sloppy election,” he said. “I think that there’s a lot of issues that I think if litigated differently may have had different insights into them.”

Kushner’s reluctance to concede as much reflected the contortions he is now attempting as he tries to sell a book whose success hinges on his close ties to Trump. At the same time, he is seeking to keep his distance from the lies and misdeeds that paved the way for the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

Very few will read your book Jared. Most MAGAts are illiterate. Maybe you're hoping for bulk sales.
