Mod: The Kushner's are not happy about a Times Square billboard TheLincoln Project created. In a letter sent to The Lincoln Project their lawyers claim that Jared never uttered the words "(New Yorkers) are going to suffer and that's their problem." This article from September gives a different account.
'His people are going to suffer and that's their problem': Jared Kushner said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo 'didn't pound the phones hard enough to get PPE for his state,' according to report(Business Insider link): In addition to his "free-market" comments that were jarring enough to spawn leaks from the March Situation Room meeting first reported by Vanity Fair, senior White House adviser Jared Kushner also had harsh words for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
"Cuomo didn't pound the phones hard enough to get PPE for his state. ... His people are going to suffer and that's their problem,"Kushner said, according to Vanity Fair.
Kushner was pushing back against those arguing for President Donald Trump to use the Defense Production Act to help get personal protective equipment to states.
States were outbidding each other and exacerbating the shortage, which persists today, particularly among nurses.
At the time, Cuomo was taking to the airwaves with his daily press briefings to implore the federal government to stop the bidding wars.
"That's the CNN bulls---,"Kushner said, according to Vanity Fair. "They lie."
"This story is another inaccurate and disgusting partisan hit job," she said. "President Trump has consistently put the health of all Americans first."
