Kushner: NBA Players Are ‘Fortunate’ They Can ‘Take a Night off’ Without Financial Consequences

President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is weighing on Milwaukee Bucks’ decision to boycott their playoff game on Wednesday night in protest of the shooting of Jacob Blake.

During an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Kushner was asked if the White House supports the NBA players who are boycotting games.

“I think that The NBA players are very fortunate that they have the financial position where they’re able to take a night off from work without having to have the consequences to themselves financially,” Kushner said.

“So they have that luxury, which is great,” he added.

On Wednesday, the Bucks announced that they would boycott their playoff game against the Orlando Magic to protest the police shooting of 👤Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

That decision led other NBA teams, and teams from other 🏆Sports, to boycott their games to protest racism and police brutality.

He continued to say the NBA puts out “a lot of slogans.” However, he said he wants “actual action that’s going to solve the problem.”
