Josh Raffel’s experience with horror should serve him well as a PR man for Jared Kushner.
Back in early April, Kushner surprised Hollywood by hiring Raffel, the former public relations head at horror-film goldmine Blumhouse Pictures, the home of “Get Out,” to join his team at the White House.
The job became a little scarier on Friday, when the Washington Post reported that Kushner proposed in December to Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak that they set up a secret backchannel between Trump’s transition team and the Kremlin.
Raffel’s job involves the Office of American Innovation, which Kushner has billed as largely separate from politics and non-partisan.
