Jared Kushner casually talks about canceling election, then tries to walk it back

In an interview with Time magazine published yesterday, President Trump's failson-in-law and shady-assed advisor Jared Kushner suggested maybe postponing the November election.

That is not allowed, unless Congress says 'yes' to the plan.

That was Tuesday. On Wednesday, Kushner attempted to walk back his comment about how he's 'not sure' he can commit to a date for the 2020 presidential election.

Why does he have anything to do with whether we get to vote in November?

Because a crime family is in charge of America, and nothing matters.

Here is the original video report in TIME:
Jared Kushner Admits There's 'Risk' in Reopening the Country Too Soon

Excerpt:

When asked if there was a chance the presidential election could be postponed past November 3 due to the pandemic, Kushner said that isn't his decision. I'm not sure I can commit one way or the other, but right now that's the plan," he said.

Hopefully by the time we get to September, October, November, we've done enough work with testing and with all the different things we're trying to do to prevent a future outbreak of the magnitude that would make us shut down again," Kushner continued. I really believe that once America opens up, it'll be very hard for America to ever lock down again."

Cool, cool.

Very cool and normal.
