[M]“I think the first thing is that the president trusts me,” Kushner replied.[/M]
|
Van Jones didn't win over any new fans while interviewing President Donald Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner on CNN Monday morning.
In fact, he may have lost some.
The network personality sat down with Kushner at an event called Citizen CNN, a day-long political forum featuring discussions with thought leaders and newsmakers. Viewers were immediately turned off by one of his first questions: "How did you get this job? You have like the dopest job in the world, the secretary of everything ... how did you wind up in this position?"
People considered that answer pretty obvious -- he's married to Ivanka Trump! And it was downhill from there, with many critics -- a mix of media professionals and average viewers -- faulting Jones for asking softball questions about prison reform, peace in the Middle East, working with his wife, and trusting Saudi Arabia in wake of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. One of Jones' most ridiculed questions was simply, "Are you having fun?"
"Nobody cares if Jared is 'having fun,' this interview is an embarrassment," tweeted journalist Aaron Rupar.
Some of the harshest criticism came from former CNN star Soledad O'Brien, who was so unimpressed with the interview she tweeted, "This cannot be real." She followed that up with, "Van is a terrible, fawning interviewer."
See more of the savage reactions that boosted Jones' name toward the top of the Twitter trends earlier today.

They'll have an opportunity to tighten that gap on Sunday, when they host a Toronto Raptors team that'll be without [M]Kawhi Leonard[/M], who [M]will miss[/M] his 19th [M]game[/M] of the season [M]due to load management[/M].
|
The Toronto Raptors advanced to 48-19 on the season with a 21-point win over the Miami Heat Sunday afternoon.
Toronto was led by a 24-point, 10-assist, seven-rebound performance from All-Star guard Kyle Lowry while seven other Raptors finished in double figures. Bam Adebayo's 19 points led the Heat but their leading scorer Josh Richardson was held to just eight points – it was just the sixth time this season that he failed to reach double digits.
From Toronto's hot start to the significance of its big win, here are some takeaways from Sunday's game…
3-point shooting sets the tone
An early start to the game didn't keep the Raptors from coming out of the gates firing; the team shot 7-for-10 from beyond the arc in the first quarter and got out to a 32-27 lead after one.
By the half, Toronto had eclipsed its season average of 11.7 made 3-pointers per game as it entered the break having connected on 12 of its 21 3-point attempts while Miami had hit just three. The Raptors used their hot shooting to take a 68-54 lead into the break
Sunday afternoon marked the 14th time this season that Toronto scored 65 or more points in the first half and it is now 13-1 in such games.
The Raptors finished the night tying a franchise record by hitting 21 3-pointers and did so at a 52.5 percent clip, outscoring the Heat 63-24 from deep. The deep ball is a key that can unlock the capabilities of Nurse's offence and Toronto is 11-2 when hitting 15 or more this season.

An early start to the game didn't keep the Raptors from coming out of the gates firing; the team shot 7-for-10 from beyond the arc in the first quarter and got out to a 32-27 lead after one.
By the half, Toronto had eclipsed its season average of 11.7 made 3-pointers per game as it entered the break having connected on 12 of its 21 3-point attempts while Miami had hit just three. The Raptors used their hot shooting to take a 68-54 lead into the break
Sunday afternoon marked the 14th time this season that Toronto scored 65 or more points in the first half and it is now 13-1 in such games.
The Raptors finished the night tying a franchise record by hitting 21 3-pointers and did so at a 52.5 percent clip, outscoring the Heat 63-24 from deep. The deep ball is a key that can unlock the capabilities of Nurse's offence and Toronto is 11-2 when hitting 15 or more this season.

Game Preview
The Miami Heat have spent most of the season on the outside looking in on the Eastern Conference playoff race, but winning five of their last six games has moved them ahead of the Orlando Magic and Charlotte Hornets in the standings.
The Heat now have the eighth-best record in the conference and trail the Brooklyn Nets in seventh place by only two games. They'll have an opportunity to tighten that gap on Sunday, when they host a Toronto Raptors team that'll be without Kawhi Leonard, who will miss his 19th game of the season due to load management.
Only the Detroit Pistons and Houston Rockets have a better net rating than the Heat over the last six games. They've beaten the Nets, Golden State Warriors, Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets and Cleveland Cavaliers during that stretch, their only loss coming to the Rockets in a game in which James Harden exploded for 58 points.
Now back in the lineup after missing most of the season with a knee injury, Goran Dragic has given the Heat a huge boost in his return. He's scored 20-plus points in two of his last three appearances, including 27 points in 20 minutes off the bench in their win over the Warriors.
"You see that he brings something off the dribble that we need," Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said of Dragic following their latest win.
Kelly Olynyk has also stepped up for the Heat with an average of 18.3 points on 59.3 percent shooting from 3-point range in his last six games.

The Heat now have the eighth-best record in the conference and trail the Brooklyn Nets in seventh place by only two games. They'll have an opportunity to tighten that gap on Sunday, when they host a Toronto Raptors team that'll be without Kawhi Leonard, who will miss his 19th game of the season due to load management.
Only the Detroit Pistons and Houston Rockets have a better net rating than the Heat over the last six games. They've beaten the Nets, Golden State Warriors, Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets and Cleveland Cavaliers during that stretch, their only loss coming to the Rockets in a game in which James Harden exploded for 58 points.
Now back in the lineup after missing most of the season with a knee injury, Goran Dragic has given the Heat a huge boost in his return. He's scored 20-plus points in two of his last three appearances, including 27 points in 20 minutes off the bench in their win over the Warriors.
"You see that he brings something off the dribble that we need," Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said of Dragic following their latest win.
Kelly Olynyk has also stepped up for the Heat with an average of 18.3 points on 59.3 percent shooting from 3-point range in his last six games.

Game Preview
The Miami Heat have spent most of the season on the outside looking in on the Eastern Conference playoff race, but winning five of their last six games has moved them ahead of the Orlando Magic and Charlotte Hornets in the standings.
The Heat now have the eighth-best record in the conference and trail the Brooklyn Nets in seventh place by only two games. They'll have an opportunity to tighten that gap on Sunday, when they host a Toronto Raptors team that'll be without Kawhi Leonard, who will miss his 19th game of the season due to load management.
Only the Detroit Pistons and Houston Rockets have a better net rating than the Heat over the last six games. They've beaten the Nets, Golden State Warriors, Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets and Cleveland Cavaliers during that stretch, their only loss coming to the Rockets in a game in which James Harden exploded for 58 points.
Now back in the lineup after missing most of the season with a knee injury, Goran Dragic has given the Heat a huge boost in his return. He's scored 20-plus points in two of his last three appearances, including 27 points in 20 minutes off the bench in their win over the Warriors.
"You see that he brings something off the dribble that we need," Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said of Dragic following their latest win.
Kelly Olynyk has also stepped up for the Heat with an average of 18.3 points on 59.3 percent shooting from 3-point range in his last six games.

[M]Supporters say almost 50 years later[/M], [M]the Empire State has simply moved to codify abortion rights[/M], with Cuomo often pointing to new members of the high court.
|
ALBANY — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, flanked by Democratic leaders of the state Legislature, on Tuesday night signed into law a series of measures codifying abortion protections and expanding reproductive health rights for women and their health care providers.
The vote, made possible by the new Democratic majority in the Senate, came 46 years to the day after the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its landmark Roe v. Wade decision. It also updates state abortion laws that were nearly half a century old and, according to Democratic lawmakers, needed to be changed especially in light of recent changes on the nation's highest court.
As he prepared to sign the legislation in the state Capitol's Red Room, which was packed with supporters, the governor thanked Sarah Ragle Weddington, a Texas attorney and law professor who, at the age of 26, represented “Jane Roe” — Norma McCorvey — in the milestone constitutional case in which the Texas woman challenged a state law banning abortion.
Weddington, the youngest attorney to successfully argue a case before the Supreme Court, sat next to Cuomo as he signed the bill just before 7 p.m. Earlier in the day, she sat in the front row of the Assembly Parlor as Democratic leaders announced they would pass the measures that make up the Reproductive Health Act.
More Information The Alfred E. Smith Building in Albany was being lit in pink Tuesday night to mark the signing of the Reproductive Health Act, according,to a directive from Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Other sites throughout New York being lit were One World Trade Center's 408-foot spire, the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge and the Kosciuszko Bridge. See More Collapse
"It's bittersweet. There is a bitterness because we shouldn't be here in the first place," Cuomo said. "We should not have a federal government that is trying to roll back women's rights ... This administration (of President Donald Trump) defies American evolution."
Cuomo said he believes that the federal protections of Roe v. Wade are at risk of being overturned with a Supreme Court that, under Trump, has shifted to a more conservative viewpoint.

ALBANY — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, flanked by Democratic leaders of the state Legislature, on Tuesday night signed into law a series of measures codifying abortion protections and expanding reproductive health rights for women and their health care providers.
The vote, made possible by the new Democratic majority in the Senate, came 46 years to the day after the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its landmark Roe v. Wade decision. It also updates state abortion laws that were nearly half a century old and, according to Democratic lawmakers, needed to be changed especially in light of recent changes on the nation's highest court.
As he prepared to sign the legislation in the state Capitol's Red Room, which was packed with supporters, the governor thanked Sarah Ragle Weddington, a Texas attorney and law professor who, at the age of 26, represented “Jane Roe” — Norma McCorvey — in the milestone constitutional case in which the Texas woman challenged a state law banning abortion.
Weddington, the youngest attorney to successfully argue a case before the Supreme Court, sat next to Cuomo as he signed the bill just before 7 p.m. Earlier in the day, she sat in the front row of the Assembly Parlor as Democratic leaders announced they would pass the measures that make up the Reproductive Health Act.
More Information The Alfred E. Smith Building in Albany was being lit in pink Tuesday night to mark the signing of the Reproductive Health Act, according,to a directive from Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Other sites throughout New York being lit were One World Trade Center's 408-foot spire, the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge and the Kosciuszko Bridge. See More Collapse
"It's bittersweet. There is a bitterness because we shouldn't be here in the first place," Cuomo said. "We should not have a federal government that is trying to roll back women's rights ... This administration (of President Donald Trump) defies American evolution."
Cuomo said he believes that the federal protections of Roe v. Wade are at risk of being overturned with a Supreme Court that, under Trump, has shifted to a more conservative viewpoint.

- A re-write of New York abortion laws had been held up by Republicans for more than a decade.
On Tuesday, the 46th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, Senate Democrats passed the Reproductive Health Act, 38-24. Gov. Andrew Cuomo hoped to sign the bill later in the evening, CBS2's Tony Aiello reported.
Critics call the legislation a radical over-reach that benefits people who harm pregnant women.

New York legalized abortion in 1970, three years before the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade. Supporters say almost 50 years later, the Empire State has simply moved to codify abortion rights, with Cuomo often pointing to new members of the high court.
"Kavanaugh is going to reverse Roe v. Wade, I have no doubt," the governor said.
