The New York Times reports:
At one of the most perilous moments in modern American history, Mr. Kushner is trying in a disjointed White House to marshal the forces of government for the war his father-in-law says he is waging. A real estate developer with none of the medical expertise of a public health official nor the mobilization experience of a general, Mr. Kushner has nonetheless become a key player in the response to the pandemic.
Some officials said Mr. Kushner had mainly added another layer of confusion to that response, while taking credit for changes already in progress and failing to deliver on promised improvements. He promoted a nationwide screening website and a widespread network of drive-through testing sites. Neither materialized.
Perhaps most critical, neither Mr. Kushner nor anyone else can control a president who offers the public radically different messages depending on the day or even the hour, complicating the White House’s effort to get ahead of the crisis.
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

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.

This is what the website for the federal stockpile said yesterday vs what it says today, after Kushner was caught lying about how states aren’t supposed to be using it. It was changed to say, “Many states have products stockpiled, as well.” https://t.co/kbNXiwaJbX pic.twitter.com/xAtPKIyHnA

Jared Kushner’s family biz could be a prime beneficiary of a provision in the federal recovery bill that allows apartment building owners to freeze fed mortgage payments on low- and moderate-income properties.

Oh my god… it took the government less than 24 hours to change the copy on its website about stockpiles to make it look like Kushner was right. Unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/TWAOVbttD5

Dr. Fauci is being harassed and Jared Kushner is being applauded.
It’s almost as if MAGAs despise intelligent, decent people and celebrate predatory grifters.

JARED KUSHNER: “The notion of the federal stockpile was it’s supposed to be our stockpile. It’s not supposed to be states stockpiles that they then use.” pic.twitter.com/9Q7j8QBCMv
