Kushner has terrible judgment, and I dont remember a decision hes been involved with that hasnt just been bad theyve been horrible. And the idea that everything has to go through the very flawed judgment of Jared Kushner is downright scary, and I believe at this point is costing American lives.
Early this year, Kushner reportedly advised Donald Trump that the coronavirus was not that dangerous more a threat to public confidence, and the markets, than to public health. Trump stuck with that message for six tragic weeks, between the confirmation of the first US case and a belated federal decision to speed the development of test kits.
And it was Kushner who helped write a disastrous Trump Oval Office speech on 12 March announcing a European travel ban that sent markets into a tailspin and travelers crowding into airports. It was Kushner who solicited help from the father of the fashion model Karlie Kloss, his sister-in-law, to ask a Facebook group of doctors what should be done about the virus.
Pepper expressed concern that when a governor calls the White House, she has to talk to Kushner, who then decides, apparently unilaterally, what the state really needs.

In a rare appearance in the White House briefing room Thursday, Kushner said some governors did not have precise knowledge of their states inventory of ventilators and delivered a lecture on the art of management.
