Perhaps the most awkward part came after Swan asked if President Trump has ever done anything racist. After emphatically defending the president, Kushner punted hard when pressed on controversial immigration policies instead of defending them. 

Swan: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she calls, she has called President Trump a racist. Have you ever seen him say or do anything that you would describe as racist or bigoted?

Kushner: So the answer is no. Absolutely not. You can't not be a racist for 69 years and then run for president and be a racist. What I'll say is that when a lot of the Democrats call the president a racist, I think they're doing a disservice to people who suffer because of real racism in this country.
