It’s not easy being married to the other Kushner brother during the Trump-era.
During a new interview with UK Vogue, supermodel Karlie Kloss, who is married to Joshua Kushner, and related to the Trump family by marriage, finally addressed the dissonance between her vocal liberal political views and her new family ties.
“It’s been hard,” she told Vogue. “But I choose to focus on the values that I share with my husband, and those are the same liberal values that I was raised with and that have guided me throughout my life.”
Kloss has been with Joshua Kushner, the brother of White House senior adviser and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, since she was 19-years-old, when the possibility of a presidency was just a twinkle in Trump’s eye, Kloss notes.
Kloss hasn’t been quiet about her political activism — she voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, attended the Women’s March the day after Trump’s inauguration and has publicly advocated for gun control and abortion access — but she had not yet addressed the Trump-family ties since she and Joshua Kushner wed in October last year.
Well, Karlie, you can pick your friends, but you can’t pick your—oh wait, actually marrying into a family means you did pick it. Never mind.
If she married Joshua in October 2018, she knew what she was getting into. She probably doesn’t know just how deep into sh*t things are going to get for the Kushner/Trump families. But, when her brother-in-law is sent to prison (just like his old man) and stripped of a lot of his remaining assets (see Manafort, Paul), she and the husband will get it.
A bit slow on the uptake, I’d say, even if she is a Dem.
that’s laughable that she thinks she’s judged more for her trump connection than the mobster ones.
It just so happens the other Kushner brother is a crook too, so I guess it sucks to be her. Of course…there is no rest for the weary if you’re part of this monumentally fucked up family, but keep patting yourself on the back for persevering because I’m pretty sure, no one else will.
