Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D) took aim at White House senior adviser Jared Kushner on Wednesday after comments made by Kushner the previous night regarding the presidential election drew criticism online.
In an interview with Time Magazine on Tuesday, Kushner, who is President Trump's son-in-law, responded to a reporter who asked if he would commit to the elections happening on Nov. 3.
“It's not my decision to make, so I'm not sure I can commit one way or the other,” Kushner 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. I really believe that once America opens up, it’ll be very hard for America to ever lock down again.”
His remark drew backlash on social media and was widely covered in the press, though some outlets failed to include his full quote, in which he acknowledged that he didn't have the power to delay an election.
Clinton, who lost to Trump in the general election in 2016, responded on Wednesday, sharing a link to a New York Times article reporting on Kushner's remarks.
"I can’t believe I have to write this sentence, but the president's son-in-law doesn't get to decide when the election is," she tweeted.(snip)
"I have not been involved in, nor am I aware of, any discussions about trying to change the date of the presidential election,” he said, according to multiple news outlets on Wednesday.(snip)
Conservative political commentator Bill Kristol tweeted: "Kushner’s statement reveals amazing ignorance of the Constitution and law. It reveals startling arrogance in taking for granted he gets to have some say about when the election is held."

Neither one of the jackasses has a decision in the matter.
The Constitution says Nov. 3. So it’s Nov. 3. Period.
Suddenly they care about the law? Um, what about Flynn? Good grief, this stuff never ends. A LOT of people need to go prison.
+++ Clinton, who lost to Trump in the general election in 2016 +++
Best sentence in the article. LOL
Hillary traitors like you have no say in anything. Get used to it!
“It’s not my decision to make” said Jared Kushner.
Hillary’s response was that it isn’t his decision to make.
Did Hillary even listen to or read what he said, before she wrote her nonsense comment?????
They know they cant win unless they have voter fraud..they know Biden has ZERO chance in November without it
Same thing for Bill Kristol. Can’t he read? Fake conservative.
#OK, Loser.
Did Hillary even listen to or read what he said, before she wrote her nonsense comment?????
It’s sad how fast Hillary’s little toadies run to carry her lies and decite straight from the outhouse(Hillary’s mouth).
> “It’s not my decision to make, so I’m not sure I can commit one way or the other,” Kushner said. <
The reporter asked a gotcha-type question. Regardless, Kushner’s answer was dumb. Image the outrage here had an Obama adviser said something like that back in May of 2016.
A better answer would have been something like “We will continue to follow the United States Constitution. Next question, please.”
His Israeli handlers haven’t told him of any new date yet.
Ummm... The Constitution says no such thing. The 28th Congress in 1845 set Election Day as "the Tuesday after the first Monday of November". They chose November, because most harvests would be complete, but winter would not have set in yet. Nothing says that Congress cannot change this date.
(And these days, NOTHING is beyond Democrats, in their efforts to dismantle the entire nation and its history.)
“The Constitution says Nov. 3. So it’s Nov. 3. Period.”
It sounds like their fraud plan requires the election to go off on schedule for it to work.
The Left is clearly scripting their loaded questions and their fake outrage responses well in advance. "Ask China", said to an Asian reporter, is somehow shockingly racist and a personal attack... "not my decisions to make", is somehow a shocking declaration that it is his decision to make... their outrage does not need to have any connection with reality, just enough words have to matchup so that their 60 million drones will nod in blank agreement, and declare themselves morally superior.
I stand duly corrected. Congress gets to decide. Still not Cankles or Cuckboy. And good luck getting the change through the current bunch, anyhow, and getting Trump to sign it. So it’s still Nov. 3.
“It’s not my decision to make, so I’m not sure I can commit one way or the other,” Kushner said
Not sure what the problem is.
He says he ain’t go the power to decide such a thing...
Did Hillary even listen to or read what he said, before she wrote her nonsense comment?????
When you’re 8 fingers into your daily handle of Vodka, it’s tough to be smart.
More accurately, it’s the Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
