“It would be crazy if there was a high-ranking official in the White House that could WhatsApp MBS,' comedian Hasan Minhaj said, referring to Kushner and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
During a Time 100 Gala 2019 toast Tuesday night, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner got called out for his close relationship to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and was challenged to use it to help free a Saudi activist from prison.
“She has been tortured. And a lot of times as comedians we get a lot of credit. People come up to us and they go, ‘Thank you so much for pointing a light on that issue,’ but that’s all we’re doing, we’re pointing,” Minhaj said. “And I just want to say thank you to Loujain for being the light.
At the Time 100 Summit earlier on Tuesday, Kushner said of Salman with regard to Khashoggi: “The advice I gave was, be as transparent as possible. We have to make sure there is accountability for what happened.” “I was just hoping he could send a WhatsApp message,” Minhaj said. “[It could say] hey, this person has been fighting for civil liberties for all people. Maybe you should let them out of prison.”
