Mod: Sooner or later everyone gets this figured out. Even Republicans.
Republicans Reportedly Stunned by How Dumb Jared Kushner Actually Is (
Splinter link): The bloom may finally be off the rose for
White House wunderkind
Jared Kushner, who managed to deeply underwhelm a group of
GOP lawmakers with his extremely half-baked ideas to overhaul the
United States’ immigration policies.
Speaking at the
Republican Senate’s weekly luncheon on Tuesday,
Kushner reportedly stumbled when asked about specifics of the
White House’s plans, and had to repeatedly be rescued by the
Trump administration’s chief white nationalist,
Stephen Miller, who was forced to leap in to answer questions
Kushner couldn’t, the
Washington Post reported. “He’s in his own little world,” a source familiar with
Kushner’s seemingly disastrous performance told the
Post. “He didn’t give many details about what was in [his plan]. . . . And there were a number of instances where people had to step in and answer questions because he couldn’t.”
Among
Kushner’s failures was a reported inability to articulate to
Texas Sen. John Cornyn how his plan would address undocumented immigrants already living in the
U.S. He also reportedly admitted to
Sen. Susan Collins that his plan wouldn’t address
DACA recipients—a provision viewed as essential for any buy-in from
Democrats.
“I am concerned about the fate of the
DACA young people,”
Collins told the Post. “They cannot be excluded from any immigration package.”
The skepticism
Jared reportedly encountered doesn’t seem to bode well for the first son-in-laws other
White House assignments, which include bringing peace to the
Middle East and overhauling the entirety of the federal government.
