MEDIA WINNER: Dwight Garner There have been numerous brutal beatdowns in history. Muhammad Aliâs eighth round knockout of George Foreman at 1974âs âRumble in the Jungle.â Judge Maya Guerra Gamble stomping on Alex Jonesâ antics during his recent defamation trial in Austin. We can now add New York Times book critic Dwight Garnerâs review of Jared Kushnerâs new book, Breaking History: A White House Memoir, to that list. Garner wrecked Kushner for penning an "earnest and soullessâ memoir, and thatâs actually one of the kinder comments to be found in the absolutely savage review. The ex-presidentâs son-in-law âlooks like a mannequin, and he writes like one,â presenting a bizarro-world interpretation of the âchaosâ of the Trump presidency in order to tout his âboyish tinkeringâ with various policy issues, which Garner mocks along with Kushnerâs Secret Service code name of âmechanic.â Not only was the review hilarious -- like when it compared reading the book to "watching a cat lick a dogâs eye goo" -- but it gained a significant amount of attention for being utterly ruthless. Garner had absolutely no time for Kushner's self-praise and complete lack of accountability, instead calling the simpering accolades potential "cries for help.â Breaking History is a book without any clear audience, Garner notes, ânot enough red meat for the MAGA crowdâ and the subject matter âmore thoroughly and reliably covered elsewhereâ for the political wonks; its author is âa pair of dimples without a demographic.â Make some popcorn and check out more of the schadenfreudelicious review here. |
