van jones

After Donald’s Trump acceptance speech, I switched from the grown-up and intelligent discussion on Fox Business to CNN, because I really enjoy watching “progressives” having meltdowns.

And yep, there it was: Van Jones, formerly Obama’s “green jobs czar,” was visibly upset.

So get out the popcorn, and enjoy the freak-out:

Via NewsBusters.

….Trump’s speech was well received by the crowd but CNN commentator Van Jones wasn’t having any of it. “I’ve never felt this way in my life,” Jones stated, “You’re either inspired by this or you’re terrified by it. I’m terrified by it.” It was all a part of a rant he delivered on CNN’ America’s Choice 2016 programming.

Jones claimed he tried to listen to Trump with an open mind, “I came here tonight with an open heart.” “I was prepared to hear him do something extraordinary,” he continued. But only found a few bright spots in that evening’s speeches, “If you have a pulse, if you have a functioning brain stem, you should have been saluting Ivanka Trump.” “But what Donald Trump did tonight is a disgrace,” he spat….

Jones seemed to also try his hand at being prophet. He conjured images of the rise of authoritarian leaders throughout history and argued that is what he felt after Trump’s speech. “I have read in history being in moments where there’s some big authoritarian movement of some leader that’s rising up,” he warned, “And I felt that way tonight and it was terrifying to me.”

    On Twitter the leftist, racist, bigots are projecting images of death camps
    that Trump will build & send citizens to. How ironic, that’s exactly how
    I see Hillary’s first 100 days. These are the same people who said Laura Ingraham gave a nazi salute after her speech as she waved to the crowd.Double sheesh.

    Their concern is that, as President Trump begins to unfold his plans, the improvements will shine a sanitizing light on what the left and RINOs have done to put the US where it is right now…HWBush through Obama. They’re afraid that their indentured servants voting for them will witness the good first hand and finally get it.

    For the first time in his life, he was terrified? Leftists like the For the First Time saying don’t they. Get a Life!

    Think about this. You’ve heard of the movie ‘Inside Out’? It’s inside the mind of an 11-year-old girl and introduce us to the five different emotions that make up the brain. Can you think of five that are rattling around in the noggin of this knucklehead? One has to be a SJW character painted in rainbow colors for starters…
