Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump spend a lot of time pretending they’re extremely busy and important with the big White House jobs Daddy Trump gave them but, to be clear, they’re basically useless. For her part, the first daughter spends much of her day posing for photos and posting them on social media, in addition to shouting “Hey, look over there!” any time her father gets into hot water, which is often. As for the Boy Prince of New Jersey, a running list of his portfolio of failures includes but is not limited to: his big Middle East peace plan, overhauling immigration, solving the opioid crisis, “fixing the government with business ideas,” reforming veteran care, and presumably three or four other things we can’t think of at the moment. Yet according to Kushner, he is hard at work at the White House, definitely not playing Minesweeper on his phone but “cleaning up the messes that Vice President Biden left behind.”

Yes, that is how Kushner, who’s screwed up nearly every job his father has ever given him or paid for, characterized his time in the executive branch, during an interview with Israel’s Channel 13 News. Asked about comments Joe Biden made over the weekend—that it was “improper” for Trump to appoint Kushner and Ivanka to senior positions in the White House—the poster child for nepotism bristled at the notion, insisting that he and his wife “worked with [Trump] for a long time, and I think we have done a good job of trying to help him being successful.” He added that the criminal justice bill signed by Trump “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.”

While it’s of course true that Biden’s 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act was a terrible piece of legislation that disproportionately hurt black and brown Americans, Kushner may be giving himself a little too much credit. The First Step Act, passed last year, had overwhelming bipartisan support not only from Congress, but everyone from the Koch brothers to the ACLU to the nation’s largest police group. (The first son-in-law’s statement was presumably not just about defending himself from charges that he and his wife take up valuable office space in the White House, but also an attempt to weaken Biden’s chances in the primary.)

Elsewhere, Kushner criticized Biden for the TPP trade deal, one of many Trump pulled out of after becoming president, and U.S. policy in the Middle East while Biden was V.P. Kushner did not mention that Trump’s actions of late in the region could be best described as “What the absolute fuck?” or that they led to the escape of ISIS prisoners.
