Update: Trump’s Son-in-Law Gets Destroyed By His Own Family For Defending Trump

http://newcenturytimes.com/2016/07/07/trumps-son-in-law-gets-destroyed-by-his-own-family-for-defending-trump/


Kurshner’s family wouldn’t let him get away with it, blasting him on social media. Here is what one of his cousins, Marc Kushner, had to say to Jared on his Facebook page:

“I have a different take­away from my Grandparents’ experience in the war. It is is our responsibility as the next generation to speak up against hate. [Sic] Anti­semitism or otherwise.”

But the response that slammed Jared came from another cousin, Jacob Schulder, who referred to him in Yiddish as a “shanda,” which means “My cousin is a moron.” Schulder said:

“When an out of touch with reality nominee hires an out of touch with reality campaign manager, who is also a son­-in-law, you get the BS Jared wrote. I don’t think Trump is an anti­-Semite; I think he’s a lying idiot (among other things) with little to no experiences outside his teetering fiefdom of failed development projects, divorces, bankrupted sports leagues, fraudulent ‘Universities’ and golf courses (and the list keeps going). The very first thing a responsible campaign manager should do, I’d think, and I mean the very first thing, would be to take away his father-in­-law’s Twitter account.”

Trying to rationalize racism is unacceptable, no matter who says it and Jared Kurshner doesn’t seem to understand this fact.

An orthodox family, too. Oy! My guess, no. Hortensis Jul 2016 #6
IIRC "shanda" means a shame or an embarassment to the family Gormy Cuss Jul 2016 #4

...dinner could be tense.

Ouch.

A medium like Twitter, with its 140 character limit, seems like a ridiculously simplistic and unsophisticated way to conduct anything having to do with an undertaking as serious as a presidential campaign.

I remember when Twitter first came about, thinking of the meaning of the first 4 letters, and thinking maybe only twits would Twitter.

These people may not be close enough for an invitation but way too close to avoid the stink.

Otoh, there actually seem to be some real resemblances between son-in-law and father-in-law's backgrounds. Perhaps they're nervous about increased scrutiny.

which Kushner certainly is if he ignores his FIL's antisemitic comments and tweets.

These cousins may not be on speaking terms but they certainly are free to shame him over the grandparents' Holocaust experience being use to support a candidate who's said and written some pretty antisemitic things in this campaign.

I wouldn't want to be at their house for the holidays. I feel sorry for all the in-laws to the Trumpensteins. Just a small correction to the article which defines the word "shanda". It doesn't mean moron. It means shameful. Which about sums it up.

I think this campaign could be the undoing of the close knit Trump clan. ivanka is going to stay loyal to her husband and he is going to come to his senses once this whole fraudulent campaign is over.
