Jared Kushner Responds to Open Letter: Trump is Not an Anti-Semite

Schwartz writes. “Because, Mr. Kushner, you are allowing this”.

But Schwartz said Kushner’s response skirted the issue at hand. Beginning with “My father-in-law is not an anti-Semite”, Kushner wrote about how Trump has been “an incredibly loving and tolerant person” who embraces people “of all racial and religious backgrounds, at his companies and his personal life”.

Schwartz, who covers entertainment, said she’s never been in the same room as Kushner, and that he hasn’t reached out to her. But she’s confident that she’ll remain in her position, saying “I’m happy to be here and just get back to work doing my job, interviewing actors”.

“He deflected my point entirely: racist people are drawn to Donald Trump….”

Even as Trump complained that the wicked media was unfairly characterizing his innocent retweet-even as notorious anti-Semites such as former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke applauded the image on Twitter-Schwartz said she wondered how her ultimate boss, Kushner, whose own family is devoutly Orthodox, could stand for such risky dog-whistle pandering from his father-in-law.

Schwartz acknowledged that without her upbraiding of Kushner, her account of anti-Semitism among Trump’s supporters on social media probably would have received far less attention than it did from outside media outlets.

But what about the image of Clinton, one that Mic reported originally appeared on a Neo-Nazi site?

But what’s more remarkable than this umpteenth piece of evidence that Trump is a hateful bigot – add Jews to women, Hispanics, persons of color, gays, foreigners, Muslims, women, Mexicans, women, Asians, the disabled, and women as identities Trump thinks it’s okay to harass, ridicule, and put down – is that Republicans have been sending out anti-Semitic and racist dog whistles for years. “To say that a candidate can’t be held responsible for what his supporters do flies in the face of history and what we can expect from candidates”, she told The Jewish week.

“I did not tell him that”, she said. Tapes released of Richard Nixon recorded him making comments about Jews that many found anti-Semitic. There she met my grandfather, who had escaped from a labor camp called Voritz.

In a series of posts to Facebook on Thursday, July 7, however, Kushner’s relatives called Kushner everything from “out of touch” to “self-serving”. Their criticism revolved around Kushner invoking their shared grandparents in his defense of Trump.

“I have a different takeaway from my Grandparents’ experience in the war”, Marc Kushner, Jared’s first cousin, wrote on a Facebook post on Thursday morning.

Trump and his campaign have denied those connections, arguing (among other things) that the star is meant to be a sheriff’s badge.

“Where is the outrage for this Disney book?”
