Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, stopped Trump from joining fringe social media platforms Parler and Gab after he was banned from Twitter, according to a report from CNN.

Kushner and deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino are said to have gone against other aides, such as personnel chief Johnny McEntee, to get Trump not to join other social media platforms, an outside adviser and an administration official told CNN.

Trump has now been banned from most major social media platforms. His favorite social media platform, Twitter, suspended him Friday for peddling claims of election fraud.

Parler and Gab are platforms that have attracted some far-right users due to the companies’ lack of speech restrictions on their platforms. Gab and Parler are not available on Google Play or the Apple app store.

Kushner is best known as the architect of amnesty for drug felons (but only black ones) as a sop to The Community. Thanks to him, Trump won all of 12% of the black vote.

Well for what it's worth, Gab and Parler have both been pretty much down hard for the past week.

Today, Gab seems to be running for the most part. They are probably your best non-Twitter bet right now.

Looks like he made the right decision because Parler was shut down a day later.

Why would anyone believe a disinformation article from the Hill?

I don’t get it either.
In any case, among all possible descriptors for PDJT, “stopped by a son-in-law” doesn’t make the list.

Jared and Ivanka are insane if they don’t emigrate to Israel right now.

Best known as the guy who actually ran the campaign in 2016 and did it with essentially no resources.

Just another unsourced lie the media is running.

Every day there’s a new lie.
Andt he one from the day before is disappeared.

“Any lie boys! No matter how small!”

Kushner and Zuckerberg both have that same emotionless face.

I trust neither. Their loyalties lay elswhere.

fringe social media platforms Parler and Gab

Before Parler was de-platformed, I didn't find it to be "fringe". Dan Bongino was one the main contributors. It wasn't censored like facebook, so I guess the left might construe Free Speech as "fringe".

Gab, for me, has been pretty much useless for me all week. I don't know if the sudden inclusion of so many signups (they say hundreds of thousands) mean the platform can't handle the load, or there is some other cause, such as a lefty denial of service attack.

As for Kushner, I don't understand the animosity. He has been the main driving force behind much of Donald Trump's Legacy, particularly the peace deals in the Middle East.

The Hill is one of those sources to be wary of. Did Kushner really “Stop” him or merely advise him to lay off social media for a while?

“Trump won all of 12% of the black vote.”
Well, after the Dems got through “counting” them...

Would really like to see the issue of voting security raised as an “equal rights” for minorities issue.
They have the crookedest votes around. And have been abused forever.

Kushner is a liberal globalist. He was against much of what Trump was trying to do for the mifdle class voter.

The change is similar to the bugzapper thread when Giuliani supporters opused out and resigned from FR en masse.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1821435/posts

But this time around the RINO contingent isn’t throwing themselves onto the flame.

Make no mistake about it, it was RINOs and GOPes who killed the republican party. Time to cater to real conservatives, since our votes are permanently countered by fraud anyways.
