It's exactly as bad as you think. Coronavirus Task force let Blue States twist in the wind.
Jared Kushner’s coronavirus task force decided to ignore a nationwide effort because only blue states had the virus.
“Most troubling of all, perhaps, was a sentiment the expert said a member of Kushner’s team expressed: that because the virus had hit blue states hardest, a national plan was unnecessary and would not make sense politically,” said the report.
“The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy,” the expert told Vanity Fair. “It was very clear that Jared was ultimately the decision-maker as to what [plan] was going to come out.”
