Jared Kushner Said He Was Too Busy To Stop Trump's Coup Attempt

In the final days of the Trump administration, as Trump was still pushing to overturn the 2020 election, one of Vice President Mike Pence's aides reached out to Jared Kushner to see if he could talk some sense into Trump. But Kushner said that he was far too busy working on "peace in the Middle East" to bother with Trump's coup attempts. Farron Cousins explains how this was Kushner's way of trying to keep his hands clean by not enraging his father-in-law.

And the early days of Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the 20, 20 presidential election, some of the aids within the white house. And some of those working for vice president, Mike Pence became overly concerned about Trump's attempt at a soft coup if you will, while trying to overturn this election in his last days in office. And one of the people, one of the Penn Sade's man, by the name of Mark Short, actually reached out to Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's. Son-in-law trying to get him according to Jonathan Carl's new book to maybe talk some sense into Donald Trump, maybe explained to him that, Hey, sorry, bud. But the election wasn't stalling, we need to not be doing these horrible things you're doing, you know, maybe everybody just sits down for a nice dinner, but as Jonathan Karl reported Cushner, couldn't be bothered with it because in Cushner his words, he was too busy working on peace in the middle east, Jared Kushner could not stop his own.

Father-in-law the man he was literally working for from lying about the election, because he was just so neck deep and in working on peace in the middle east, listen, dude, if you can't convince your own father-in-law to not lie to the American public, I'm not exactly going to trust you with the whole piece in the middle east thing, by the way, how did that work out? Do we have peace over there? Has anybody checked recently? Everything cool, calm collected over there in the middle east. Are we still selling bombs? The people who were selling them to other people to bomb civilians. I'm pretty sure it's the latter there, right?

Cushner is an absolute man, baby, not a man child, a man, baby. He is a coward. He has no spine to speak of. I have no idea how he continues to stand upright. Other than the fact that maybe his shirts are overly starched, because all he had to do was stand up to this man, but he refused to do it. And it wasn't even necessarily standing up to him. It was just disagreeing with him or maybe trying to talk some sense into him in a way that says, Hey, look, I don't disagree with you, but there's nothing we can do. Let's move on. He wouldn't even do that because he's a coward because he doesn't want to off his daddy and law. This family, the Trump family, you know, everybody who was married into it apparently to nothing but scumbags. That's all they are.

Everybody's out for their own personal political or financial gain. They don't care about the well-being of anybody else. They could don't care about the damage. The rest of the family is causing. They just want to get theirs and get the hell out. That is exactly what Cushner did during his years at the white house. That's what Ivanka did. You know, as we talked about recently, Jared and Ivanka actually threw a lavish dinner party on January 7th, the day after the insurrection. And nobody even brought that up. Nobody talks about the big insurrection that just happened the day before that eventually led to his father-in-law's second impeachment trial, but Cushner didn't want to ruffle any feathers. You know, you can't off daddy in law. He's got a lot of money. You want to get your hands on a lot of it someday. So that's what happened. Cushner says he was too busy, hammering out peace in the middle east to try to stop a coup attempt by his father-in-law here at home.
