Jared Kushner Implies Black People Are Lazy [VIDEO]

The Associated Press reports:

Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner says the president wants to help Black people succeed but that they have to want to be successful. “But he can’t want them to be successful more than they want to be successful,” Kushner said on “Fox & Friends” on Monday.

Kushner also criticized people who raised their voices after the death of George Floyd, a Black man who died in police custody, but then didn’t follow through and work to find ways to improve the lives of Black people in America.

“You saw a lot of people who were just virtue signaling – they go on Instagram and cry, or they would, you know, put a slogan on their jersey or write something on a basketball court,” Kushner said. “Quite frankly, that was doing more to polarize the country than it was to bring people forward. You solve problems with solutions.”

Jared Kushner on Monday seemed to question whether Black Americans “want to be successful.” In an interview with “Fox & Friends,” President Trump’s son-in-law also accused many social justice protesters of virtue signaling. https://t.co/CN6TxTKiMx
