John Oliver: It’s Dangerous to Think of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner as a Moderating Force (Video)
The comedian points out the vagueness of the president's daughter and son-in-law, and how this allows others to project their feelings onto them in order to believe there's some sanity in the White House.
“I don’t know enough about them to eviscerate them,” John Oliver says after a 22-minute segment on the president’s daughter and son-in-law, “just as you don’t know enough about them to justify putting any real hopes in them.”
The “Last Week Tonight” host points out how vague and silent both Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner tend to be, and how this allows others to project their ideas and feelings onto them in order to feel reassured that some sanity reigns in the White House.
