Jared Kushner Labeled Racist After Implying Black Americans Don’t 'Want To Be Successful'

White House senior adviser Jared Kushner said Monday that in order for the president’s policies to be most effective, Black Americans must want to succeed.

“One thing we’ve seen in a lot of the Black community, which is mostly Democrat, is that President Trump’s policies are the policies that can help people break out of the problems that they’re complaining about,” Kushner said during a Fox News interview. “But he can’t want them to be successful more than they want to be successful.”

“What you’re seeing throughout the country now is a groundswell of support in the Black community because they’re realizing that all the different bad things that the media and the Democrats have said about President Trump are not true and so they’re seeing that he’s actually delivered,” Kushner added.

His comments come just eight days before the presidential election, with nationwide polls consistently showing Trump trailing Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

The polls also indicate that Biden has a significant lead with Black voters over Trump. In a New York Times-Siena College poll released last week, 90% of Black respondents supported Biden, while just 4% said the same for Trump.

Trump's reelection campaign also touted accomplishments ranging from prison reform to the record-low unemployment rate for Black Americans before the coronavirus pandemic took hold.

"From criminal justice reform and record funding to record low Black unemployment and record high-income increases, there is simply no disputing that President Trump accomplished what Democrats merely talked about,” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement Monday.

The Trump campaign tried to dismiss the notion that Trump is racist and argued that Trump's intentions are pure even though his comments sometimes don't indicate that.

“President Trump may not always say the right things, but he does the right things. He says what’s on his mind and he gets results,” Kushner said on Monday.
