'Entitled Know-It-Alls' Ivanka Trump And Jared Kushner Hijacked COVID Response, Book Says
HuffPost
Kushner, an inexperienced "Rasputin in a slim-fitting suit," had no business making critical decisions, writes former White House aide Stephanie Grisham.
“Obnoxious know-it-alls” Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner hijacked the nation’s first major response to the COVID-19 pandemic last year just as deaths from the disease were escalating — and botched it, former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham reveals in her new book.
The couple, who had no experience in government or with government policy, had no business being top White House advisers to then-President Donald Trump, Grisham wrote in her book, “I’ll Take Your Questions Now,” according to an excerpt published Friday by Politico.
When Grisham initially worked as Melania Trump’s press secretary, “we had all” — including the first lady — “come to call Jared and Ivanka ‘the interns’ because they represented in our minds obnoxious, entitled know-it-alls,” she recounted.
