CNN contributor Ana Navarro, a Republican strategist who voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, belittled President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, on Twitter on Friday after Kushner complained about her criticizing Trump on television and blasted the networks's coverage of the administration.
Kushner, a senior adviser to the president, told Gary Ginsberg, executive vice president of corporate marketing and communications at CNN's parent company Time Warner, during a meeting at the White House that he was unhappy with the network's coverage of the administration, according to the Wall Street Journal. Kushner specifically took issue with Navarro and Van Jones, another CNN contributor who formerly worked in the Obama administration, for their on-air commentary.
Navarro responded on Twitter by referring to Kushner as "baby boy" and "Little Jared."
Really, Little Jared complaining about me cuz I get under President Daddy-in-Law's skin? Oh, baby boy, I'm so sorry. https://t.co/4W8Sh9sHxy

"Little boy Kushner, tough guy who's supposed to achieve Middle East peace, is complaining about me to CNN. Boo-hoo!" Navarro condescended.

Navarro originally was a Jeb Bush supporter during the 2016 election, but wrote in an Election Day op-ed on CNN that she would vote for Hillary Clinton "out of civic duty" rather than "enthusiasm." She cited several reasons for doing so, including Trump's comments about women and immigrants.
