Van Jones is a smug, disingenuous hack. Can't believe CNN keeps him on the air.

People like Van Jones could never debate Charlie because they knew he would always make them look dumb and ignorant, but not because of how Charlie presented himself but the way they did.

People on the right keep getting attacked not because of what they say. It is because of what Democrats and those on the left claim that they say.

The day after sharing the dm from Charlie, jones said he would’ve refused to platform Charlie’s hate. He’s a scumbag.

Van Jones got so much praise for sharing Charlie’s email to him, but I agree 100% with Megyn. Van Jones is a coward and HE is the racist. They weren’t “beefing”; Van Jones had attacked Charlie as a racist. Charlie’s response was to reach out to talk, showing himself to be 10 times the principled man than white-people hating Van Jones.

You nailed it. Jones made it seem like he was giving Kirk grace. No, he was being condescending and dismissive.

I love how people like Van Jones say “I don’t agree with Charlie Kirk’s words.” But they won’t ever tell you specifically what they don’t agree with because they know they haven’t put in the time to really understand what Charlie Kirk thought and said and WHY he said it. And they fear looking stupid when someone proves them wrong. They are so transparent and weak. Charlie NEVER feared looking stupid because he ALWAYS put in the necessary effort to understand what he talked about to the point that NO ONE could EVER prove him wrong. All they could do, as they stood in their puddle of idiocy, was try to think of a way to shut him up.

When Jones finally gets desparate, he'll go full-on Crockett, with the multi-lingual skillz on full display.
