Jared Kushner condemns Florida governor Ron DeSantis' recent move to fly migrants to Martha's Vineyard calling it 'very troubling' for people to be 'used as political pawns.'

The former White House senior advisor appeared on the Fox weekday talk show, 'Outnumbered' on Tuesday expressing his criticism after he was shown clips of DeSantis discussing his bold move of flying dozens of migrant to Martha's Vineyard on September 15.

Two planes carrying about 50 migrants were flown into Martha's Vineyard. The flights that were paid for by DeSantis left San Antonio to the exclusive New England area.

Speaking from a couch as the four Fox hosts listened, Kushner said: 'We have to remember these are human beings.' 

'They're people. So seeing them being used as political pawns one way or the other is very troubling to me,' he said.  

'Many of them are exploited, put in human trafficking and modern slavery in a lot of ways,' he added.

He then took the opportunity to criticize President Joe Biden's handling of the crisis at the border, and applauded former President Donald Trump - his father-in-law's - immigration policy.

He felt certain that the focus should be on 'coyotes' - those people who smuggle migrants across the border for 'a lot of money.'

DeSantis mocked the liberal outrage on the clip played on the Fox talk show on Tuesday.

'You got have 50 die in Texas in a trailer because they were being neglected,' DeSantis said in the clip, referring to a tragic incident in June, Yahoo News reported

'Was there a freak-out about that? No there wasn't,' he claimed.
