Trump's son-in-law under fire from family
Source: Politico
Jared Kushner, Donald Trumps Jewish son-in-law and increasingly a power player atop his presidential campaign, was an obvious choice to publicly defend the candidate this week amid a firestorm over a tweet that many viewed as anti-Semitic. But now he's under fire from his own relatives, who are angry he invoked their grandparents' story of survival during the Holocaust in an attempt to defend Trump.
The tweet, which Trump heartily defended during a rally in Cincinnati on Wednesday night even after Kushners efforts to quell the uproar, featured an image of Hillary Clinton over a backdrop of dollar bills. Inside a red, six-pointed Star of David, white text labeled Clinton the most corrupt candidate ever.
Kushner, Ivanka Trump's husband, attempted to defend his father-in-law from what the campaign says is a journalistic mob driven by political correctness. In a piece published Wednesday, Kushner revealed his grandparents' story of survival during World War II because, he wrote, its important to me that people understand where Im coming from when I report that I know the difference between actual, dangerous intolerance versus these labels that get tossed around in an effort to score political points.
But Kushners estranged relatives are angry about his decision to invoke their grandparents story as Holocaust survivors and they let it be known on social media, complete with a few typos.
