White House senior adviser Jared Kushner swiped back at Joe Biden after the former vice president said it was "improper" for Kushner and his wife Ivanka Trump to serve as top White House officials.
"He's entitled to his opinion, but a lot of the work that the President's had me doing over the last three years has actually been cleaning up the messes that Vice President Biden left behind," Kushner said in an interview with Israel Channel 13's Barak Ravid released on Tuesday.
Kushner specifically pointed to criminal justice reform, which the Trump administration passed.
"(It) rolled back a lot of the very harsh laws that were created and partially written by Vice President Biden over 20 years ago, which put a lot of African Americans in prison and really destroyed a generation and did a lot of harm to our country," Kushner said.

Don’t be dumb. “Druglords” aren’t getting out.
And this is not a get out of jail free for Kushner. If it weren’t for Kushner and Parscale Trump probably wouldn’t be president.
[Dont be dumb. Druglords arent getting out.]
This is not rocket science. Lock up criminals and they cant commit any more crimes. As a New York Times headline put it in 2004 with characteristic cluelessness: Despite Drop in Crime, an Increase in Inmates.
But there are no permanent victories with liberals. Brennan Center acolytes have been patiently waiting for everyone who knows anything to leave the building, so they could go back to springing criminals again.

If you are even passingly familiar with our justice system, you know that virtually everyone in prison is there as the result of a plea bargain.
You dont strike a deal with the prosecutor to plea to the worst crime youve committed. You plea to the least serious offense.]
The report by the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics is the first to use a nine-year window to view criminal backsliding by a large sample group of prisoners released in 2005. Prior studies used three- or five-year follow-up periods.
The authors of the 23-page report, 2018 Update on Prisoner Recidivism: A 9-Year Follow-up Period (2005-2014), say the longer view shows a much fuller picture of offending patterns and criminal activity of released prisoners. It was written by BJS statisticians Mariel Alper and Matthew Durose and former BJS statistician Joshua Markman.
Using data submitted by both law enforcement agencies and state departments of corrections, the researchers tracked the offending patterns of a random sample of 67,966 prisoners from among the 401,288 prisoners released in 2005 in a total of 30 states.
Among their key findings:
The 400,000 released prisoners racked up nearly two million arrests during the nine-year period, or about five arrests per man or woman.
Forty-four percent were arrested during their first year following release, 68 percent were arrested within three years, 79 percent within six years, and 83 percent within nine years.
Seventy-seven percent of released drug offenders were arrested for a non-drug crime within nine years.
Released property offenders were more likely to be arrested again than released violent offenders.
Eight percent of prisoners arrested during the first year after release were arrested outside the state that released them. That number increased each yearapparently an indication of increasing interstate mobility. By year nine, 14 percent of those arrested were collared in another state.]
I guess you dont really understand the prison reform bill.
