Denial by Trump's Son In Law

Jared Kushner: The Donald Trump I Know
By Jared Kushner • 07/06/16 1:37pm

My father-in-law is not an anti-Semite.

It’s that simple, really. Donald Trump is not anti-Semitic and he’s not a racist. Despite the best efforts of his political opponents and a large swath of the media to hold Donald Trump accountable for the utterances of even the most fringe of his supporters – a standard to which no other candidate is ever held—the worst that his detractors can fairly say about him is that he has been careless in retweeting imagery that can be interpreted as offensive.

-snip-

America faces serious challenges. A broken economy, terrorism, gaping trade deficits and an overall lack of confidence. Intolerance should be added to that list. I’m confident that my father in law, with his outstanding record of real results, will be successful tackling these challenges. That’s why I support him.

Maybe he isn't an Anti-Semite. But can you imagine Der Trumpenfuhrer's initial reaction when his daughter brought her boyfriend home to meet him?
