Time to change the channel on Van Jones.

VAN JONES to CPAC: "Here's the deal -- the conservative movement in this country... is now the leader on this issue of [criminal justice] reform... take some dadgum credit for being smart. Take some dadgum credit for getting it right."

It is quite possible many are current legislators, employees and family members.

He is speaking about is true that republicans in those states have reduced inmate populations and crime through reforms then I don’t see a problem with Jones recognizing that.

To a larger point about a bird with one wing he is right.

The Republican Party is not going to go away (no matter how much we would like to see that happen). They are one party of our two party system and we are going to have to engage with them in order to govern in the future (if/when they become rational again after trump) if we are going to survive as a nation and fix the issues we face today.

It will take a whole lot more demonstrations than this (if it's even true) .

It disgusts me that they hire Jeff Sessions trash to rev in charge of the 2020 elections. I have changed my channel, and permenantly. Shame on Van Jones and CNN - I’m over them! #boycottcnn
