Kushner’s brother joined march for gun control
Joshua Kushner, brother of White House senior adviser and President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, apparently took part in the “March for Our Lives” on Saturday with his girlfriend.
Joshua Kushner posted a photo on Instagram Sunday afternoon with the hashtag “#marchforourlives” and a photo of his girlfriend, Karlie Kloss, standing in front of the White House gates holding a sign that says “Load Minds Not Guns.”
Several other march attendees placed their posters near the White House gates following the rally.
{mosads}Kushner, who founded venture capital firm Thrive Capital and insurance company Oscar Health, previously donated $50,000 to the event. He also shared a photo on Saturday featuring the hashtag “#IWillMarch.”
Hundreds of thousands of people on Saturday took part in the “March for Our Lives” in Washington, D.C., and other cities across the country. The event called for stricter gun laws and an end to gun violence.
Students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., organized the rally in response to the Feb. 14 shooting there that left 17 people dead.
Since then, the Trump administration has taken steps to ban bump stocks, signed off on funding for improved background checks and has urged states to pass gun safety legislation.
However, Congress has not taken action on enacting universal background checks, raising the age requirement to purchase a rifle or banning assault weapons, each of which Parkland students have called for.
