Donald Trump posts about CNN political commentator
Donald Trump recently posted a rant on Truth Social criticizing Van Jones, a popular CNN political commentator.
Trump also made certain claims regarding Jones and suggested that when the latter reached out to him in relation to the First Step Act, he was “crying like a baby.” He stated, “Van Jones of CNN came to me with a group of African American leaders, he had “DEAD” in getting Criminal Justice Reform approved in Congress. Van Jones and these Black reps had been unsuccessfully fighting to get “Reform” for many years. He was just wasting everyone’s time – Needed 5 Conservative Senators – there was no chance, or even hope, for a win. I liked some of the people he was with, agreed with what they were saying, and quickly rounded up the votes needed to get CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM approved. It was NOT easy! Nobody else, including Obama, who tried to for years, could have done this!”
Furthermore, the President lashed out at Jones for labeling him a “dictator” and wrote that he “should be ashamed of himself.” Trump signed the First Step Act into law, which aimed to reform federal sentencing and improve prison conditions, and was proposed by Jones.
Previously, Jones has also called out Trump for being “freaked out” about not being as popular as Kamala Harris during the election days. According to the Hill, he conveyed, “He is more freaked out about that than you know, being a convicted crook and someone who almost got killed, so that lets you know the level of narcissistic challenge that we have here.”
