Peter Navarro Suggests Jared Kushner Lied About Having Cancer: ‘Just Sympathy to Try to Sell His Book’

Former Trump White House trade adviser Peter Navarro shredded former Trump White House senior adviser Jared Kushner on Thursday night, saying he was only a White House adviser because of his father-in-law. Navarro also suggested Kushner either lied about or overstated a diagnosis for thyroid cancer.

Kushner, of course, is married to former President Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump.

Appearing on Newsmax, Navarro addressed Kushner’s claim in his recently-published book that he was treated for thyroid cancer while serving in the White House.

Host Chris Salcedo flagged the excerpt from the book and stated Kushner “withheld a cancer diagnosis during tense negotiations with communist China.”

Salcedo then asked why Kushner didn’t disclose the diagnosis to Trump.

Navarro stated that Trump would still be president were it not for Kushner’s actions as his adviser and claimed Kushner’s “M.O. is basically, take credit for whatever success we had, blame anybody when something didn’t work.”

Navarro then addressed Kushner’s book.

“It’s fiction,” he continued. “And the thyroid thing, that came out of nowhere. I saw the guy every day. There’s no sign that he was in any pain or danger or whatever. I think it’s just sympathy to try to sell his book now.”

Salcedo asked if Kushner is “worthy” of Trump’s trust.

“No,” Navarro replied. “Time after time, whether it’s mismanagement of the campaign, mismanagement of the pandemic, taking too much credit for NAFTA, taking too much credit for the Abraham Accords. I mean, the guy was just a one-man wrecking crew, 36 years old I think when he got in there with no training. His only qualification was that he was the boss’s son-in-law.”
