Changing the government to fit Kushner’s spin

The Trump administration edited the website of the Strategic National Stockpile a day after a bunch of people pointed out that the website contradicted Jared Kushner. https://t.co/E3rgm4OZwy

Kushner thought he flattered himself with this story last night:

friends told Trump NY hospitals needed supplies, Jared called director who specified N95 masks. Jared got some

doctors and hospitals and governors have begged for supplies for weeks

the story shows what’s wrong

Shocking. His use of the word, "our" , is so wrong. Mr. Kushner and the federal government work for US, citizens of the United States, who also happen to live in states. These masks in the stockpile are OUR masks, paid for by OUR money. https://t.co/l1Z74tuETc

A real estate developer with none of the medical expertise of a public health official nor the mobilization experience of a general, Jared Kushner has nonetheless become a key player in the Trump administration's response to the pandemic.https://t.co/tNq5vEpyXk

After Jared Kushner’s comment about how the Strategic National Stockpile is not supposed to be for states, lots of people pointed to the fact that its own website says it is.

The language on the website has now been changed.

A senior government official described the Kushner team's coronavirus response efforts as a "frat party" that descended from a UFO and invaded the federal government.

At one point, the team used FreeConferenceCall-dot-com to arrange high-level meetings.https://t.co/qMZc1GmRUU
