– President Trump’s son-in-law is courting controversy with an interview on Fox & Friends in which he criticizes athletes who protest during the national anthem. “You know, you saw a lot of people who were just virtue signaling. They’d go on Instagram and cry or they would put a slogan on their jersey or write something on a basketball court,” Jared Kushner said, per Reuters. “And quite frankly, that was doing more to polarize the country than it was to bring people forward.” Kushner, who is married to Ivanka Trump, said Trump’s ” policies are the policies that can help people break out of the problems that they’re complaining about but he can’t help them be successful more than they want to be successful.” “President Trump may not always say the right things but he does the right things,” he said. “This dismissive approach to the issues that Black voters care about is indicative of Trump’s callousness and disregard for the lives of Black people.”
