White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner is defending the White House’s coronavirus response effort, deeming it a “great success story.”
Kushner appeared on “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday where he was asked about the national strategy to address the Coronavirus Outbreak and about the administration collapsing the pandemic office.
Despite the noted hurdles and mounting criticism the task force is facing amid the pandemic, Kushner insists the administration has risen to the challenge.
“We’re on the other side of the medical aspect of this and I think that we’ve achieved all the different milestones that are needed. So, the federal government rose to the challenge, and this is a great success story,” Kushner said. “And I think that’s what needs to be told.”

Shortly after the interview, Kushner’s remarks were met with concern and opposition, namely because he declared the administration’s coronavirus response as a “success story.”
Retweeting the video, Twitter users quickly noted that the United States has now surpassed 1 million positive coronavirus cases while the death told nears 60,000.
Others noted that the death toll has now surpassed the number of fatalities caused by the Vietnam War — 58,220
