Kushner Refuses to Talk About Trump's Birtherism and Muslim Ban When Asked If They're Racist

Jared Kushner repeatedly refused to answer a question about President Donald Trump’s birtherism while defending his father-in-law in a tense interview with Axios’ Jonathan Swan.

Swan asked if Kushner had ever seen Trump do or say anything racist or bigoted, and Kushner responded no.
“Was birtherism racist?” Swan then asked.

“Look, I wasn’t really involved in that,” Kushner said after a pause.

“I know you weren’t. Was it racist?” Swan asked again.

“Like I said, I wasn’t involved in that,” Kushner again responded.

“Do you wish he didn’t do that?” Swan asked.

“Like I said, I was not involved in that. It was a long time ago,” Kushner said.

He is a smarmy creep just like his wife and all the in-laws.

Jonathan Swan always seems to bring his A game.
