Liberals rip into Van Jones after he refuses to take joy in Trump's arraignment: 'One of the dumbest mother******* on TV'



CNN's Van Jones opined that he was not taking enjoyment from the arraignment of former President Donald Trump and he was lambasted by many on the left over it.

Trump was arraigned in Manhattan on Tuesday for 34 counts of allegedly falsifying business records as a part of the investigation into hush money paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

Van Jones said on CNN that he was opposed to the prison system and pointed out that Trump looked downcast in video from the arraignment.

"He looks sad. He looks like the weight of it is hittin' him," said Jones on the video.

"And you know just as a human being, I don't take joy. I don't like the prison system, I don't like what it does to people, so I don't like this process, I don't take any celebration in seeing him looking that way," he explained.

"Doesn't mean that accountability is not owed, we don't know what he's going to be charged with, there's a lot more, but at that moment, that is not a conquerer, that is a granddad having a very bad day," Jones concluded.

His comments were circulated on social media by those critical of the left-wing pundit.

"As a community, we need to organize how and when to pull up on Van Jones. I had to turn off CNN. He kept trying to make Trump a victim of an unjust court system," tweeted Ola Ojewumi, a disability lifestyle writer. "Why attempt to humanize Trump as a grandfather and parent when he used his power as President to dehumanize us?"

"Obama fired his dumb ass for being worthless - he was a complete waste of space and still is," read another tweet.

"This isn't a grandpa getting arrested at Walmart for stealing Geritol. This is a klanpa who paid hush money for his illicit affairs and whose decades of criminal behavior has finally caught up to him. Be fcuking for real Van Jones!" responded talk show host Reecie Colbert.

"Van Jones, click clacking for white people, per usual," said another critic.

"Van jones is one of the dumbest motherf***ers on tv," read another tweet simply.

Trump pleaded not guilty to the 34 counts. It was the first time a former U.S. president had been criminally charged in all of U.S. history.

Black community lashes out at CNN's Van Jones over Derek Chauvin comments



Members of the black community lashed out at CNN contributor Van Jones for expressing some sympathy for the mother of Derek Chauvin, who was sentenced for the murder of George Floyd on Friday.

"CNN gets on my f***ing nerves pulling Van Jones out every time there is some black s**t going on. Get this n***a off tv," one critic replied.

Jones' immediate reaction was that the 22-and-a-half-years prison sentence for Chauvin was very disappointing.

"What this man did, it should have been the maximum of the maximum. And this is disappointing. I don't think it's gonna cause outrage, but it's a punch in the guy. This guy's life is worth more than 15 years," Jones said.

Most of the ire aimed at Jones was over comments he reportedly made in sympathy for Chauvin's mother, who spoke at the hearing for her son's sentencing.

"Dear @VanJones68 You feel sorry for Derek Chauvin's mother? That wench's son murdered a man in front of the whole world. She didn't even have the decency to apologize for her son. Do you feel sorry for George's daughter? Brothers? or just Chauvin's mom?" one detractor said.

"Van Jones, the last black man in America. According to CNN," Roxane Gay joked.

"They always get Van Jones to talk about black folks s**t. Dat mfer ain't been black since he was a child," another detractor tweeted.

"I'm so sick of saying this. Van Jones doesn't speak for the black community," another critic said.

"She showed no respect to the Floyd's family. Her son is alive, yeah he's gonna due time, like criminals do. But she can see, hear his voice, read his words. Floyd's daughter will never hear her fathers voice, feel his love or hugs, read a card from her father," another Jones critic said.

Chauvin could face additional sentencing on federal charges that he violated the rights of a 14-year-old black teenager in 2017 when he used similar arrest techniques as the ones he used on George Floyd.
