A star is born

Reaction to Jared Kushner’s new role as replacement for Anthony Fauci is not universally ecstatic.

Jared Kushner is at the coronavirus press conference. Dr. Fauci is not. So there’s definitely no reason for anyone to air this garbage. #StopAiringTrump

Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner at briefing, praises his father-in-law's response to the Coronavirus: "The president has been very hands-on…"

The president has been very hands on the microphone, the podium, other people, but he has not been busy responding to the pandemic.

One takeaway from Jared Kushner briefing: we did not start active response phase of dealing with this crisis until 13 days ago.

13 days!

Very hands on, but only starting 13 days ago. And not very hands on.

I didn't see it so let me just get this straight: Jared Kushner — who has exactly about as many qualifications for dealing with a pandemic as he did for concocting Mideast peace — was on hand to brief the American people about the #COVID19Pandemic but Dr. Fauci wasn't? Ok then. https://t.co/I94u3dYCAB

And did he come across as an empty suit? Yes he did.

Maybe Jared Kushner's experience brutally evicting tenants will help him kick coronavirus out of our communities?
