Jared Kushner gave a rare interview this weekend to Axios, discussing topics as wide-ranging as the Trump administration’s Israeli-Palestinian peace plan, whether or not Trump is racist (LOL), refugees, and more. It was, to say the least, a shit show. (Slate has a nice round-up of the most cringeworthy answers.)
Needless to say, Twitter had fun.
1. Jared Kushner = haunted Victorian boy?

There's always a seat for you here. Hey Alma is here to make sure no one has to be Jewish alone. Your Passover gift keeps our community vibrant, our stories honest, and our space free for everyone.
2. Mazels on that decision. (You need to watch the video.)
I can only say hats off to the press person who thought it was a good idea to put Jared in front of a camera. pic.twitter.com/XgDa0VxeXw

5. The *real* question:
why is nobody asking jared kushner the question everybody wants to know aka is he or is he not a little boy from approximately 1912 trapped in the body of a grownish man

6. Jared deflected a lot of answers by saying he wasn’t involved…
Axios: Was slavery bad?

8. Loving that “Lori Loughlin” is now a verb.
After watching that interview; I’m 100% sure Jared Kushner “Lori Loughlin’ed” his way thru life.
That is one stupid person. Wow.
