Overreacting to last night’s GOP debate in Tuscaloosa, Ala., 55-year-old CNN analyst Van Jones stuck to his Democrat talking points blasting former President Donald Trump as a dictator, then singling out 38-year-old biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramasway as a dangerous demagogue. Van Jones said he witnessed “the rise of a American demagogue,” in the most hysterical analysis imaginable. Ramaswamy was no different than in any of the four GOP debates, speaking more quickly-and-passionately about a variety of topics, especially the Ukraine War which he opposes. But let there be no mistake about Van Jones, he’s a Democrat political hack, out to keep Biden in power four more years. When Trump won the 2016 election, all Van Jones could say was it was a “White lash.” Van Jones sees anything other than Black progressive agenda as a danger for the United States.
Ramaswamy shoots from the hip but he’s entitled to his views without a Van Jones hitting the panic button, showing that he’s unhinged. How could anyone listening last night start “shaking” as Van Jones admitted, saying he has some kind of panic problem. Ramaswamy was rebuked by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for raising concerns about Haley’s ties to China and big corporate donors. Former U.N. Amb. Nikki Haley called Ramaswamy “scum” in the last debate for mentioning her daughter uses TikTok, a Chinese owned company. Ramawamy made a point that Haley left her U.N. job with little cash in the bank. A few years later she and her husband are rolling in dough. Christie called Ramawamy the biggest “blowhard” in Amreica, a classic of the kettle calling the pot black. No one’s a bigger bag of wind than Christie, despite his 2.5% in aggregate polls.
Van Jones’ expert opinion is that Ramaswamy is dangerous engaging his GOP rivals on a debate stage. “That guy is dangerous. That’s dangerous,” Van Jones said, without offering any other than his personal reaction. “And the smug condescending way that he just spews this poison out, is very, very dangerous. Because he won’t stop Trump, but he’d going to outlive Trump by about 50 years,” Van Jones said. What makes Van Jones think Ramawamy will be in politics even next year. Has Van Jones ever listened to Rev. Louis Farrakhan or Rev. Jerimiah Wright, they’re far more threatening than anything Ramawamy said? Van Jones comments speak to his progressive bias, only agreeing with leftists preaching to the choir. “You’re watching the rise of an American demagogue that is a very, very despicable person . . “ making an absurd personal attack.
Van Jones holds no clout except as a progressive Black voice on CNN. “And I literally, I was—I was shaking listening to him talk because a lot of people don’t know. This is one step away from Nazi propaganda coming out of his mouth,” Van Jones said. Nothing Ramawamy said was bigoted or Nazi-like at all. Admitting he was trembling in fear shows how poorly adjusted Van Jones is to be in politics business. Van Jones speaks the same way about Trump, that everything he says is a racist dog whistle. Ramawamy said the Nikki Haley would send American sons-and-daughters to die in Ukraine, when they know nothing about the conflict or the territory. Van Jones then went on a tangential rant about “replacement theory” having zero to do with anything Ramaswamy said in last night’s debate. Ramaswamy simply went after Haley and Christie.
Van Jone’s overreaction shows that he’s not fit for commentary on any station other than maybe CNN where all hosts and pundits advance a Democrat agenda. Whether or not Van Jones likes Ramaswamy’s ideas, comparing him to the Nazis in reprehensible, showing no understanding of the Holocaust. Whatever Ramaswamy said in last night’s debate, it had nothing to do with the great replacement theory, where some Republicans accuse Democrats of an open border to eventually bring in more Democrat voters. Van Jones had no opinion on Ivy League president refusal to condemn pro-Palestinian demonstrations calling for “intifada” or genocide against Jewish people. Van Jones knows Ramawamy is a person of color, making his remarks all the more preposterous. Ramaswamy was debating his GOP not commenting about anti-Semitism
Allowing Van Jones airtime to spew his outrageous analysis of 38-year-old biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy disgraces CNN, pandering to the most depraved audience looking only to rip Republicans. Ramaswamy had every right to express himself, disagreeing with Christie and Haley, both of whom routinely rag on Ramaswamy. Few people will miss any of the 2024 GOP candidates, looking to see Trump trounce them in the primaries. Judging by events in a New York courtroom, an expert from New York University in corporate accounting said he saw nothing wrong with Trump’s corporate books. Trump has said all along that Atty. Gen. Letitia James’ case against the Trump organization was grotesquely biased, but, more importantly, factuall6y wrong. Van Jones would no doubt accept James’ fraud claims against Trump because she’s a Black Democrat.
