Jared Kushner made the claim that the national stockpile of medical supplies was not meant for states to use during a Thursday news conference.
Then on Friday, the Strategic National Stockpile’s webpage was changed to reflect Kushner’s description.

Originally, the website said the stockpile ensures “state, local, tribal, and territorial responders” can get the supplies they need “during an emergency.” It also stated that the “repository contains enough supplies to respond to multiple large-scale emergencies simultaneously.”

Kushner, in essence, lied that it wasn’t for states to use calling it “our stockpile.”

The very next day, the wording on the site changed to reflect Kushner’s words.
This is what the website for the federal stockpile said yesterday vs what it says today, after Kushner was caught lying about how states aren’t supposed to be using it. It was changed to say, “Many states have products stockpiled, as well.” https://t.co/kbNXiwaJbX pic.twitter.com/xAtPKIyHnA

A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services, Katherine McKeogh, claims that the website update was planned before Kushner’s remarks were made. McKeogh claimed, “This is language we have been using in our messaging for weeks now.”
Regardless, the timing of the change is extremely suspicious.
Even with their transparent attempt to gaslight us, they still have to admit the federal stockpile is intended to be used by the states…. because claiming it is only the “federal government’s” stockpile makes absolutely no sense.

The things we see are bad enough.
If the Trump admin is willing to engage in a cover-up like this out in the open, imagine what theyre doing in the dark.#Trumpvirus #coronavirus

This story is awfully familiar…
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped.

Senator Warren (D-MA) didn’t mince words:
That is, in fact, exactly what it’s there for. Get states the resources they need, or get out of the way. https://t.co/8TwnfQ19DK
