'I cannot understand this way of thinking from White House advisor Jared Kushner,' Sanders tweeted.
, Kushner responded to a question on if he backed Trump's refugee cuts by saying it"doesn't make a difference one way or the other the number." There are about 68.5 million refugees worldwide.
Trump's 2020 budget request calls for a nearly 90 percent budget cut to a refugee program run by a sub-agency of the State Department. Trump also requested that the State Department stop providing funds to Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. Many refugees on the southern border have been fleeing to the U.S. amid social, economic and political turmoil in those nations.
Jared Kushner, senior White House adviser, listens during a county sheriff listening session with President Donald Trump, not pictured, in the Roosevelt Room of the White House on February 7, 2017 in Washington, D.C. 2020 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said"it is not moral" for Kushner to defend Trump's refugee cuts given he is the grandson of refugees.
