It is a telling interview, but will not affect anyone who would consider voting for him. Racism is a feature, not a bug for his followers.

Except for that time he called for the deaths of five young black men after they were found innocent.
Oh, and the times he was sued by the US government for racial housing discrimination. Twice!

Yes. Yes that’s true. See, it all makes sense because he’s been racist all those 69 years… well, maybe I’ll take a couple years off for when he was a toddler and had no idea what was happening. But I’m sure he was racist for a good 62 of those 69 years.

I don’t know who, but if there are any people out there who see Kushner as semi-legit, an effective racism beard or part of the “tempering” force reining Trump in, maybe this would shake loose another screw in the facade? can’t hurt…

Considering Trump’s dad was a confirmed racist, I think it’s safe to say that he was certainly raised from an early age to be that way. And not to simply visit the sins of the father, Donald’s behavior later confirmed it.

Yeah, that might be true, but John Oliver’s running “we got him” skit comes to mind.

that’s less squirming and more “OH SHIT Why didn’t I ask for an ear piece so someone could tell me how to answer?!?!”

Do I have to pay $3.99 a minute for this or is it free?

Kushner’s face looks like someone trying to figure out how much money it will cost before he finally looks like a real boy.

Worst. Remake. Ever.

The first time he said “I wasn’t involved with that” the follow up should’ve been “Do you believe that KKK is racist?”, he would have to answer “Yes”. Then you ask “But you weren’t involved with that either, and you know it’s racist. So can you answer again the original question? Is birtherism racist?”

You kind of understand why he doesn’t give interviews very often.
But in that sense he’s smarter than Trump.

If people don’t understand by now that this gormless trust-fund mediocrity serves mainly to beard this right-wing populist regime’s underlying anti-Semitism (a few “good ones” excepted), they never will.

Pedantic sidebar: NYMag (who presumably rely on Strunk and White or something) have no idea what passive constructions are.

If I thought he had half a brain, I would think that was a catty Ilhan Omar callback.

I think it’s impressive that the guy can actually talk. This is an unprecedented sit down interview, isn’t it?
