So Jared Kushner made his very first public speaking appearance yesterday to a group of tech CEOs where he discussed updating the government bureaucracy’s technology. For many people, it was the first time they had ever heard Kushner’s voice.
And what a voice it is!
Shrill, nasal, a little bit shaky, and not dissimilar to a middle schooler in the throes of puberty giving, as one Twitter user so eloquently put it, “an 8th grade valedictory speech,” Kushner talked about how “exciting” cloud computing and data migration truly is.
But don’t take our word for it. Hear for yourselves…
He speaks! Have you ever heard Jared Kushner's voice before? Here you go. pic.twitter.com/QKElf1bynn

Suddenly, it all makes sense why Kushner has never opened his mouth in public before, or why Donald Trump didn’t use him more on the campaign trail, instead opting for folks like soap opera actress and avocado farmer Kimberlin Brown and UFC President Dana White instead.
Now, the responses…
Jared Kushner is an important reminder that you can't buy puberty.

Kind of disappointed. Jared Kushner's making his first public remarks and he hasn't been hiding a cool Darth Vader voice. At all.

Get ready, the very same anti-lgbt trolls who called Hillary a bitch and shrill, and Nancy Pelosy old, ugly and “Shrill (Notice a pattern?) and Obama a terrorist, will come on here screaming and tearing their hair out that Poor child Jared got his voice mocked.
Considering Ivanka was an attractive and famous person, it becomes more and more obvious that she married into this family to help HER family get out of debt. If the indictments come down just watch how quickly she throws her husband to the wolves to protect her dad.

@DCguy
I agree that Ivanka is an attractive person.
Although what indictments are you talking about? Indictments for what?
DCguy
You mean when I said “If the Indictments come down”?
Due to the fact he has meetings that were purposely hidden from the U.S. intelligence agencies with a foreign enemy, and he lied about them on his disclosure for his clearance? Oh, and that was AFTER he lied about OTHER meetings. Oh wait, he also hired a criminal defense attorney. To suggest indictments aren’t possible when perjury was already acknowledged twice, AND financial meetings with an enemy of the U.S. that were hidden from the U.S. intelligence services were what was hidden….
I get that as part of Mo Bros agenda of attack anything to defend Trump, Russia is now being defended by him (And his other screenames) but you guys need to make the choice, are you anti-American enough to pretend that secret meetings with the Russians (Something Reagan or Bush would have had him thrown in Jail for) are now par for the course because you support treason as long your party is the one doing it.
1EqualityUSA
Unlike Trump, who’ll be pardoned by Ryan, the lad may not be so lucky. He attempted to create secret communications back-channel to the Russians through their embassy. Arrogance such as this will be his undoing. Here’s a Washington Post article listing all of the arrogant things this novice tried. Nauseating.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/05/26/jared-kushner-trying-to-secretly-talk-to-the-russians-is-the-biggest-billow-of-smoke-yet/?utm_term=.4e3ea5df25d6

@DCguy
According to the New York Times, regarding Kushner’s application for a security clearance, they state, “the questionnaire was submitted prematurely on Jan. 18, and that the next day, Mr. Kushner’s office told the F.B.I. that he would provide supplemental information”.
I’m not sure how that proves that he “purposely hid” information with a “foreign enemy”. The New York Times stated there were several meetings not included in the Jan. 18th submission and one of the meetings just happened to be with the Russian ambassador (someone nearly everyone in Washington, both Democrats and Republicans have met with). This seems to me that a staffer who was completing the form and compiling the information just submitted it early, since meetings with other foreign representatives were also omitted and the error was caught the very next day and corrected, something which is allowed by our intelligence agencies.
@1EqualityUSA (DCguys’s other screen name)
You said, “He attempted to create secret communications back-channel to the Russians”. How is that illegal? Tons of administrations in the past set up back-channel communications with governments all around the world. This one was no different and was suggested as a way to discuss the dismantling of ISIS, something that should not be leaked to the public and something that should be handled through a back channel.
ABC news even reported that Obama had a back-channel with Iran during the Iran Nuclear Deal, plus Bloomberg even reported that the Obama administration had a back-channel with Moscow that was used in October of 2016. Back-channel communications between world powers are not illegal.
So my question again is, an indictment for what?
1EqualityUSA
Obama didn’t go into debt with 666 5th Avenue. Procuring loans from a Russian bank (undergoing sanctions) may prove an alternative motive. With these knaves, follow the money. Like father, like son, like son-in-law.

mhoffman953: “ABC news even reported that Obama had a back-channel with Iran during the Iran Nuclear Deal, plus Bloomberg even reported that the Obama administration had a back-channel with Moscow that was used in October of 2016. Back-channel communications between world powers are not illegal.”
Uh Barack Obama was the freaking President of the United States during those time periods. AND Barack Obama was the President of the United States when Jared Kushner tried to set up a secret backchannel for the Trump transition team to covertly communicate with the Kremlin through the Russian Embassy, and actively undermine the foreign policy of the government of the United States which was set by President Obama.
The Logan Act makes it a federal felony offense for a private citizen to attempt to communicate with a foreign government and undermine the U.S. government as treasonous Jared Kushner tried to do.
Ҥ 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments.
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. “
mhoffman953
@Rakkaus
“Uh Barack Obama was the freaking President of the United States during those time periods”
Correct, but it was his administration who set up those back channels, not him personally. Setting up a back channel for government purposes is not illegal.
“Jared Kushner tried to set up a secret backchannel for the Trump transition team to…actively undermine the foreign policy of the government of the United States”
What? LOL. The purpose of this back channel was to communicate with regards to the topic of ISIS and the crisis in Syria. Can you state what the purpose of this back channel was in regards to undermining US foreign policy? How would this back channel (something we have with many foreign governments as stated by past foreign officials) was a way to undermine foreign policy?
“The Logan Act makes it a federal felony offense for a private citizen to attempt to…undermine the U.S. government as treasonous Jared Kushner tried to do”
How though? By communicating with a foreign government while working on a transition team? All transition teams through past presidencies communicate with foreign government to introduce various members of the new administration and to create a rapport with that nation. If you can specifically state how they planned to undermine the US government, let’s hear it. Just merely talking with someone is not illegal.
The Logan Act was created in 1799 and as you stated it says that a private citizen cannot influence a foreign government via measures. It was created when a doctor tried to influence the French government by creating a policy with them. It does not apply in this case because Kushner did not negotiate a treaty while active as a private citizen.
@1EqualityUSA (aka DCguy)
Not sure how that’s relevant to what law was broken. If you can cite what criminality was committed, please do
KaiserVonScheiss
I think his voice is cute. Then again, if I have a “type” it’s cute nerds.
Heywood Jablowme
Ha – thanks for this. A “high talker” (to use Seinfeld lingo). Bill Maher had a New Rule on this recently and I realized, oh yeah I can’t recall ever hearing Jared K talk. When Jimmy Fallon played him on SNL he didn’t talk at all, nobody had enough info to even make fun of how he talks. Now we know!
@Kaiser: He IS a cute nerd, I too like that physical type, as far as that goes.
He is also one of the most horrible and vindictive landlords in NYC.

Kathy Green
Feel free to dislike and criticise Kushner for what he DOES or for what he THINKS, but mocking him for the sound of his voice is really not okay. It’s totally disgusting that supposed liberals stoop so low. Aren’t liberals opposed to bullying?
Celtic
Really? Perhaps it really is not the voice but the possessor thereof. He is a snake, a slime just like his daddy-in-law. One can conclude easily that he also is a wimp and a coward, like his daddy-in-law.
DCguy
Oh, you mean like Perjury? Lying about secret meetings with the Russians? You mean things like that?
Oh, and Mo Bro, if you’re going to use a woman’s screename please try to at least alter the WORDING you use when you cry and whine about liberals being big meanies.
Ferdinand Adler
So turns out that bullying is ok depending on who’s the bully and who’s the target, not depending on the nature of the mockery. God forbid people mock anyone because of the boyish/feminine sound of their voices (which I totally agree with, being my very own voice the opposite of what a masculine voice is supposed to sound like) unless the target is anyone whom we dislike because of their political views. Then it’s not just completely fine but hilarious… Everyday I feel more disconnected from these kind of LGBTQ+ mainstream narratives. We’re supposed to be individuals who happen to be gay among other many things who make us unique, not necessarily the servants/perpetrators of intersectional feminism narratives. You have to think for yourself and do not do to others what you don’t want others to do to you. What a hypocrisy making fun of someone, despite of how hateful we find them, because of the same exact reasons they make fun of us…
Heywood Jablowme
Enough with your “hypocrisy” whining.
Republicans are bullies, they’re PROUD of being bullies, they fight dirty and say any obnoxious sh*tty homophobic thing they want. We need to retaliate.
Kathy Green
@ Heywood Jablowme:
Two wrongs don’t make a right. We need to lead by example instead of stooping to the level of the enemy.
If being a liberal means mocking people for the sound of their voice, then I don’t want to be a liberal.
Heywood Jablowme
@Kathy Green: Go ahead and be a conservative then! They get to be as nasty as they want, all the time. It’s part of their ethos.
F*ck that “lead by example” stuff. It doesn’t work, as we saw in the last election.
You don’t get to define that being a liberal means NOT mocking an EVIL a-hole for the sound of his squeaky voice. Oooh, like that’s so awful. Who made you the liberal police? GFY.
DCguy

“Sniffle, Sob” Gosh, we right wingers only want to attack lgbts, take your rights away, support foreign governments and help them institute laws that legalize murdering you, we want to force women who are raped to have their rapist’s baby and we want to cut all free education so children of poor people grow up uneducateded.
But YOU big mean bullys make us cry because you mocked Jared’s voice!!! Waaaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!

Heywood, Breitbart has a new spiel. These wads are paid to push the new spiel. It’s so obvious. Gangrene-obvious. They try to use their pop-psychology to censor others and steer the conversation to complement their Breitbartistic goals. Nauseating. Haters in the Christian Tedious Right are threatened by Americans United for Separation of Church and State, just as Trumpsters know that, since they can’t make quality out of detritus, they’ll change the way liberals are viewed instead. We don’t have to counter them, as GOP policies will be their undoing. When over 20 million people lose health insurance, the GOP will go extinct. When unions, made toothless because of the Supreme Court justice (grafted into place over Merrick Garland) votes to break the 4-4 split, making union dues optional, harming Labor, the GOP will superannuate before our twitching eyes. When the Goldman Sacksters, ushered into the National Hen House by an uneducated swindler, ream the middle class (again) the GOP fall away, gangrenous, rotting flesh that they are, no matter how MHoff morphs from Alistair Wiseman to bisexual women, to whomever he thinks will gain some traction. What a weird way to get paid.

@HeywoodJablowme
“F*ck that “lead by example” stuff. It doesn’t work, as we saw in the last election.”
I’m not sure where you got that idea. Hillary’s campaign was 80% attack ads and attack speeches on Donald Trump.
“You don’t get to define that being a liberal means NOT mocking an EVIL a-hole for the sound of his squeaky voice”
True, that she can’t define what it means to be this or that BUT liberals preach about the very same things they end up doing. They claim mocking people isn’t OK – I could find a handful of Queerty articles from the past few days showing this. Michelle Obama claimed “when they go low, we go high”. Yet, liberals never practice what they preach.
I don’t care if people mock someone’s voice, but when you cry about being mocked then you go ahead and mock someone else, it makes you look like a hypocrite.
Plus I don’t think his voice is that bad. Sure, he doesn’t have a deep Barry White style voice, but what did you expect him to sound like?
1EqualityUSA
MHoff, “I’m not sure….I don’t care….I don’t think…” I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I. Insipid. Get a life. We are not all cookie-cutter-cronies like the GOP dips which cannot think for themselves. They have to hire trolls to coerce the net. If the message is this sorry, change the message. As soon as healthcare, unions, and retirement accounts are affected, all the trolls in the world won’t pull the GOP’s rocks out of the fire. The policies are screwy.
Heywood Jablowme
@mhoffman: “Michelle Obama claimed “when they go low, we go high”.”
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. That was a stupid dumbsh*t thing for her to say. AND more importantly, it didn’t work. Her husband was such a weenie he didn’t even bother to mention to the public that the Russians were interfering to steal the election for your side.
“Yet, liberals never practice what they preach.” I say we should stop preaching that dumbass sh*t. It doesn’t work.
mhoffman953
@1EqualityUSA
“We are not all cookie-cutter-cronies like the GOP dips which cannot think for themselves”
The left cannot think for themselves and operate on a group think mentality. Even though the GOP has flaws, it has a diverse group that feel differently on various issues.
“They have to hire trolls to coerce the net”
Do you have proof of this? I’m fairly certain it was the Clinton campaign who hired trolls through Correct the Record and Media Matters to do this for her campaign and now still do so under a different name called Share Blue
@HeywoodJablowme
“he didn’t even bother to mention to the public that the Russians were interfering to steal the election for your side”
How did Russian interfere to steal the election? How did the steal the election? Did they change votes?
Xzamilloh
@Heywood Jablowme I hear that
Politically speaking, when they go low, we go high… and then come down on their heads full force. Politically speaking, of course. Violence is just a no-go, period.
