Van Jones SLAMS Biden cover-up: ‘A crime against the republic’



Democrats spent the entirety of former President Joe Biden’s presidency turning a blind eye to what appeared to be a clear mental and physical decline — but after Biden’s stage four prostate cancer diagnosis, they can no longer pretend the president was in control.

His cancer, which has a Gleason score of nine and bone metastasis, has been purported by experts to have been progressing for years — which would include his presidency.

Now, even the former president’s fiercest supporters are admitting that they were wrong about the president’s health, including Van Jones.

“I don’t care who you are, left, right, or otherwise, anybody who cares about this country and about just the dynamics of power, this is the emperor’s new clothes playing itself out in real time,” Jones told Jake Tapper on CNN.


“Everybody knew, and everyone was afraid to say except for David Axelrod for two years that something was wrong here. And so, you know, I was shocked. I love Joe Biden. I don’t like him, I love him.”

“I was shocked to see his condition when he came out and so was the world. And that wasn’t the first time he was in that condition,” he continued. “There are people who knew and said nothing, and that is a crime against this republic.”

“I think the Democrats are going to pay for a long time for being a part of what is now being revealed to be a massive cover-up,” he added.

Unlike those on the left, BlazeTV host Pat Gray was well aware of the president’s decline before news of his diagnosis went public.

“‘That is a crime against our republic,’" Gray says, mimicking Jones. “Yeah, yes it is. Thank you for noticing,” he adds.

'We woke up in a body bag': Van Jones makes stunning admission about why Trump steamrolled the establishment



CNN talking head Van Jones spoke at length Friday to his former colleague Chris Cillizza about the American political class' failure to understand which way the wind is blowing and how it knocked them over on Nov. 5.

Jones, a former Obama adviser who had several weeks to get over his election-night despair, was particularly candid about how President-elect Donald Trump was able to electorally crush Kamala Harris and retake the White House, underscoring that Trump outsmarted his critics, particularly those in the media who "misread" his appeal and extra-political strategy.

After suggesting that the liberal political establishment is "all screwed up" and detached from the electorate and its wants and needs, Jones likened the media's predictions in the lead-up to the election to the ancient practice whereby a haruspex would read omens from animal entrails.

"There used to be a time back in the day that they would cut a pig open, and they would throw the pig entrails on the ground to try to read and divine the future, right. It would be like asking, 'Did you think that you misread the pig entrails?' Like we were so off," said Jones. "We weren't reading the actual electorate at all. For instance, we were using completely outdated terms and modes of analysis and concepts like 'swing voter,' 'moderate voter,' 'male voter,' 'female voter.' None of that stuff is what Donald Trump's team was focused on."

Whereas Kamala Harris ran a political campaign largely targeting Americans on the basis of immutable characteristics, Jones suggested that Trump alternatively ran a "masculinist cultural movement," drawing numerous subcultures — including UFC, "the health and wellness people," and the "crypto folks" — into a broader tent by engaging them, talking to them, and taking them seriously.

Cillizza later acknowledged that the coalition that formed around Trump had "a little something for a lot of different people."

Jones indicated that Democrats made matters worse for themselves by thinking in terms of left and right; by failing to understand that Trump was in some cases playing a vertical game, appealing across party lines to low-trust groups as opposed to those still trusting of liberal institutions.

'We look like idiots.'

"We woke up in body bag on Election Day and didn't even know it," continued Jones. "We thought that because CNN, NPR, New York Times, all of the mainstream media was pretty much beating the hell out of Donald Trump that Trump was getting the hell beat out of him. The mainstream media is actually now, by the numbers, the fringe."

Jones underscored that alternative media has far and away eclipsed legacy media such that it's not unheard of for CNN and Fox News to grossly underperform "a Twitch streamer you've never heard of."

"We got beat on platforms I've never heard of," continued Jones. "The problem you're going to have now is when Joe Rogan sits down with Donald Trump, 48 million people watch the YouTube of the podcast. The YouTube! We didn't have that many people watch the debate on CNN. So guys — get out of my face. We had the wrong analysis. We didn't even have the conceptual framework to understand what's happening to us."

'We got beat by something that we don't understand.'

Although Harris avoided interviews for much of her campaign, when she did field questions, it was primarily on friendly mainstream media networks. She only made two prominent podcast appearances and spiked another possible appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience." Trump, meanwhile, appeared on numerous podcasts, crushing Harris' outreach by even conservative estimates.

"We're playing a different game," said Jones.

Despite signaling agreement with Jones throughout, Cillizza still appeared confused about how Trump was able to pull it off, prompting Jones to once again criticize the mental framework prevalent in the liberal media: "'How can Donald Trump?' 'How can Donald Trump?' Guys, can we cut it out? Donald Trump is not an idiot."

While establishmentarians leaned hard into their characterization of Trump as a Hitlerian figure in recent months, many have suggested over the years that the Republican president was equipped with substandard mental faculties.

Council on Foreign Relations fellow Max Boot, for instance, suggested Trump was "too stupid to be president." Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) reportedly called Trump "stupid as well as being ill-tempered." California Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D) similarly suggested Trump was "stupid" in her memoir. The New Republic tried combining both characterizations, calling Trump "an extremely dumb fascist."

"Let me just be very clear: Donald Trump is smarter than me, you, and all of the critics. You know how I know? Because he has the White House; the Senate; the House; the Supreme Court; the popular vote; he has a massive media system bigger than the mainstream built around him and for him; and a ... religious fervor in a political movement around him; and his best buddy is the richest person in the history of the world; and the most relevant Kennedy is with him," said Jones. "This dude is a phenomenon. He is the most powerful human on Earth and in our lifetime, and we're still staying, 'Well, how is this guy?' We look like idiots."

Jones stressed that the liberal establishment's failure to understand Trump "doesn't mean he's dumb. We don't understand it — that means we're dumb," adding, "We got beat by something that we don't understand."

‘We Pushed All Our Rebels Out’: Van Jones Unloads On Dems Over Shoving RFK Jr., Musk, Rogan Away From Party

'RFK was a rebel inside of our party'

Here Are The Corporate Media Meltdowns You’ve Been Waiting For

As the inevitability of Donald Trump's electoral victory became clear, leftist hysteria kicked into high gear.

As expected, liberal media melts down over multiracial, working-class Trump victory — especially Van Jones



President Donald Trump long cautioned supporters that they needed to turn out in such numbers that the election would be "too big to rig." The American people obliged him, turning most of the map red and ensuring that the 45th president of the United States would become the country's 47th president as well.

Not only is Trump expected to surpass 310 Electoral College votes, having won all seven key battleground states including the state where he was shot by a would-be assassin, he is also set to become the first Republican to win the popular vote in 20 years.

The liberal media, having made clear in advance that this was not the outcome they wanted, are not handling things well — especially not CNN talking head Van Jones.

Midway through what appeared to be a breakdown, Jones suggested that transvestic minors and illegal aliens are going to wake up scared and that black women are in for "a lot of hurt."

CNN panelist David Urban, who served as senior adviser to Trump's other successful presidential campaign, told Jones, "We need to recognize that over half of America feels very strongly about the things that Donald Trump feels strongly about: a secure border, the economy, crime. They might not like — he might not be a perfect messenger, but the message resonated."

'We're not garbage.'

"Democracy is a luxury when you can't pay your bills," continued Urban, referring to the democracy-themed concern-mongering that Democrats leaned into in recent months.

Urban said that the multitudes of Americans who supported Trump are now sitting back, sneering at "the elite" and saying, "''We told you so. We're not garbage. We're hardworking people. We believe in these things,' right? People don't like to be talked down to."

The Republican noted further that the coalition whose members found resonance with Trump's message was racially and ethnically diverse.

According to CNN's exit polls,

  • 45% of Hispanic voters, 38% of Asian voters, 12% of black voters, 55% of white voters, and 53% of voters from other racial or ethnic groups cast ballots for Trump.
  • 44% of Americans 18-44 voted for Trump, and 51% of Americans 45 or older did likewise.
  • 60% of Catholics, 71% of Protestants, 19% of Jewish Americans, and 42% of Americans from other faiths voted for Trump.
  • 64% of military veterans supported Trump.
  • 49% of voters making less than $50,000 a year voted for Trump, while 48% voted for Harris.
  • 54% of Americans with no college degree and 41% of Americans with a college degree voted for Trump.
  • 54% of first-time voters cast ballots for Trump.
  • 44% of voters from union households cast votes for Trump.

Rather than engage with Urban's point about the diversity of the coalition behind Trump, Jones focused on the disappointment of certain voters that their racial identity would not be partially reflected in the person of the president:

There are African-American women who know a little bit about being talked down to and know a little bit about their economic dreams being crushed, who tried to dream a big dream over the past couple of months. And tonight they are trading a lot of hope for a lot of hurt. They were hoping that maybe this time, this time, one of their own could be seen as worthy. And once again they are facing rejection.

According to Jones, "it's going to be harder than it should be tomorrow for [black women] to hold their heads up."

'Stooges will be stooges.'

The talking head suggested that extra to disappointed identitarians, Trump's win is a "nightmare" for parents of cross-dressing youth and for foreign nationals violating American immigration law.

"If you are a parent of a trans kid, your child's face was used as a springboard to power for somebody," said Jones, intending his remarks as a barb against Trump, not the physicians who profit wildly off so-called "gender-affirming care" procedures on kids. "That doesn't feel good."

"There are going to be people tomorrow who are going to be handing clothes at the dry cleaners who don't have papers," continued Jones. "There are going to be people who are going to be cleaning your teeth tomorrow who don't have papers, and they're terrified tonight."

The multimillionaire stressed that it's "not the elite who are going to pay the price. It's people who woke up this morning with a dream and are going to bed with a nightmare, and those people didn't deserve to be respected and held and talked to. Those are the people going to pay the price for whatever Donald Trump decides to do."

Molecular biologist Dr. Richard H. Ebright of Rutgers University later responded to Jones' rant, "Stooges will be stooges. Especially the stupidest among them."

Jones was far from the only talking head finding it difficult to cope after it became clear that Harris had no chance of eking out a win.

Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks, for instance, suffered a meltdown reminiscent of his response to Trump's 2016 electoral victory, this time attacking Democrats for delivering "loss after loss after loss."

Van Jones refuses to hide his pessimism for Kamala Harris in the most critical swing state: 'Nothing making me happy'



Van Jones is feeling bad vibes.

For a campaign that has tried to sell Americans on the idea of a Kamala Harris presidency by, in part, appealing to vibes, Jones explained Monday on CNN that he isn't feeling good about Harris' campaign in the key swing state of Pennsylvania.

'That is 70,000 votes we bled away. That is the margin for victory.'

"I'm just nervous all the time, so I don't feel good about nothing, and I'm not going to feel good about nothing until it's over," Jones said.

There are good reasons to be nervous, Jones explained. He cited problems for Harris in Philadelphia and issues among Jewish voters.

"I'm worried. Philadelphia is where we've got to run up a big margin. But Philly overall has been trending down, not in terms of going toward the Republicans, just people not getting out to vote," Jones said. "It's a bigger, tougher fight in Philly to get that vote count up than it has been in the past. That has me worried.

"The other thing that has me worried is the Jewish vote in the suburban areas. Biden won the Jewish vote by 70% — 70 to 30 — last time. Some polls show Kamala at 50-50. That is 70,000 votes we bled away. That is the margin for victory," he explained.

The final problem that Jones diagnosed is the star-studded rally and concert that Harris is hosting in Pennsylvania on Monday. Jones said it gave him eerie vibes that remind him of 2016.

"The other thing makes me nervous is in 2016 we had a big, star-studded event right on the edge of the election, and we lost the state. I don't think people understand working people sometimes have to choose: Am I gonna go to the big, cool concert this week and pay for babysitting for that, or am I gonna try to figure out a way to get to the polls? I don’t like these big, star-studded events," he said.

"I can't show where they've helped us win. In fact, it probably helped us lose last time," he added. "I don’t want people going to concerts. I want people knockin' on doors. I want people out there fighting for this thing. I'm just nervous, nervous, nervous."

In fact, Jones admitted that "there's nothing making me happy about Pennsylvania."

That's a significant problem for Harris because, in all likelihood, whoever wins Pennsylvania will win the election. Harris can lose Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, and Georgia while winning Wisconsin and Michigan — but she cannot lose Pennsylvania. On the other hand, if Trump fails to penetrate the blue wall by winning Pennsylvania, he most likely will lose.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama's 2012 campaign manager is sounding the alarm for Democrats.

Jim Messina, a career Democratic operative, admitted on Sunday that early voting returns are "scary" for the Harris campaign, alluding to significant early voting gains among Republican voters.

Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that Trump is benefiting, because Republicans could be cannibalizing their traditionally strong Election Day turnout. But the early voting returns are nonetheless a positive indicator that the election results could turn in Trump's favor.

That's why, according to Messina, his Democratic friends are calling him and "panicking."

Watch Van Jones tell Bill Maher why Trump is wrong to fight crime



One thing the left is really good at is misinterpreting something Trump said or did and using that twisted lie to bolster their "Trump is racist, sexist, fascist, etc." narrative.

For example, CNN’s Van Jones took a section of Trump’s Agenda 47 that laid out plans to combat the rampant crime the Biden administration has allowed to escalate and turned it into Trump is “locking up all the black men.”

Dave Rubin plays the clip of Jones explaining why fighting crime is wrong to Bill Maher.

“This is what’s on his website. He says he’s going to ‘require local law enforcement to do stop and frisk,’ which 80% goes against black people,” Jones began, reading from Agenda 47.

“He says he’s going to ‘instruct the DOJ to dismantle every street gang’ — in other words, the feds are going to be in your neighborhood trying to figure out which one of your kids should go to federal prison.”

“He says he’s going to ‘indemnify all cops,’ so you can't sue cops basically,” Jones continued, adding, “Black men are about to get conned.”

“The best con artist in the world is going to tell black men, ‘I'm going to lift you up.’ In fact, he's going to lock you up. He's going to lock you up for the stuff that Kamala Harris is trying to decriminalize,” he ranted.

Dave points out some irony in Jones’ words.

“Van, why do you think that all black men are in street gangs?” he asks rhetorically.

Further, “They don’t do these things to lawful people,” he says. “Now, that doesn’t mean that there can’t be a bad cop that might do a stop and frisk unfairly or unjustly — and that should be dealt with.”

“What Donald Trump is talking about there is that in cities — like in the city [Van Jones and Bill Maher] shot that very video right there, Los Angeles — the mayor of L.A. is no longer doing proper policing. You can trespass and jump over people's fences and set up a tent and they won't do anything; you can smoke crack outside of city hall,” says Dave.

As for Jones’ insinuation that Donald Trump is racist against black men, it’s easily debunked considering “Trump literally had lowest all-time black unemployment.”
