Kushner: The Glorified Middle-Man
Kushner definitely isn't the sharpest crayon in the broom closet but neither is he "coordinating the [White House] coronavirus response", as CNN's Chris Calllizza said in his Jared Kushner: coronavirus guru article. I mean, let's be real, he's a glorified middle-man, for fucks sake. He streamlines the supply chain process between FEMA and the Coronavirus Response Team. In other words, he is the point-of-contact between FEMA and the CRT. This does not make him the head of the CRT, which Mr. Callizza somehow gleaned from Kushner's quarterbacking of the supply chain efforts.
It appears that Leftist Dyslexia strikes again.
At another point in his first news conference as a glorified middle-man, he was asked how he first got his foot in this proverbial door and he replied that Trump heard from some friends NY needed something, he heard about it and made a phone call and got it done. CNN saw this single, isolated incident as the baseline process of how the streamlining works.
Is that right, CNN? Too bad that isn't what he said--not even close. Someone asked about A SINGLE INCIDENT and he replied to how he was involved in that SINGLE INCIDENT. Said response does not layout the framework for his middle-manning process.
However, if they had asked "How does your process as middle man work? How are you streamlining things?" and, had he responded with something like, "well, we've cut out all official communication channels and are now working strictly by word-of-mouth. In other words, if my friend from NY hears about them needing some masks, he'll give me a call and I'll make it happen", then I could understand your claim that the process he outlined is as such in this quote: "the President hears something from friends, Kushner makes calls at the President's behest, that group goes to the front of the line".
But that isn't how it went down, is it CNN? No, it isn't.
(And just to be clear, this isn't in defense of Kushner--I think he's an idiot who's trying to punch way outside his weight class--as it is an attack on CNN's fabricating facts from nonexistent context.)
