    Fake.

    Even Snopes admits it's a fake quote.

    Second part of the meme appears to pass validation check:

    Jared Kushner 'admitted Donald Trump lies to his base because he thinks they're stupid'

    Trump's son-in-law said 'He just knows Republicans are stupid and they’ll buy it,' according to former New York Observer editor

    Kushner, though liberal progressive and Democratic leaning, is known to be one of the most honest and straight shooting politicians in MAGA team.

    Fox news did not even launch until the end of 1996 and it was for cable subscribers owned by News Corp. . No way this would have played in 1998 . Nobody would have even mentioned fox news . So obviously fake without checking . It was not even available in NY markets or LA .

    A few more historical facts . People often complain about fox news , often liberals . Liberals gave birth to fox news by using the other 3 networks at the time ( 80's ) as obvious liberal slant. Fox news would not exist if they covered things the way it is meant to be done .

    The gross liberal slant to the media had been well established for a solid two decades before the mid 80's roiled around . Maybe longer . I mostly only read newspapers in the 60's & 70's and if you avoided certain papers it was not as obvious .

    Sad part is that this seemed almost credible , perhaps with so many crazy things being said in politics lately.
