Van Jones takes a dig at Senator Harris:

[demmiblue]

I will be there, too, @CoryBooker... Running away from a conversation has never solved anything. Some people will abandon a microphone because they don’t like the person who touched it last. Others are smart enough to grab that microphone and make sure THEY get the last word.

What a take. I’m not caping for any candidate, but refusing to lend one’s name & presence to further legitimize events where a despicable person is being honored doesn’t mean one is “running” or not “smart.” There is principle to support both Kamala and Cory’s decisions.

1. It isnt running away, it is protesting a criminal being honored for something he doesnt deserve, to

Set up audience that excluded the students

IMHO, these opinionated talking heads get too much money for their shallow analysis

[zaj]

2. They are paid to make analysis shallow... so it's viral.

Long thoughtful answers don't spread like wildfire.

6. Exactly

I support Harris for taking a stand against the stupidity of what happened. I never listen to Van Jones.

3. Van Jones is an asshole...

[PunkinPi]

8. Yep, he needs to take several seats.

Seems happier in the company of these folks...

[chimpymustgo]

15. Oh my. The more you know.

Van Jones.

4. As usual, I'm slow on the uptake here. Where's a "dig" at Harris? What did she do or not do?

[PunkinPi]

9. Here's the quick synopsis of a longer Twitter thread...

Link to tweet

So to (try to) break this down:
1. There was a candidate forum scheduled for today at Benedict College, sponsored by 20/20 Bipartisan Justice Ctr.
2. That group gave Trump an award.
3. @KamalaHarris
pulled out in protest.
4. New event scheduled.
5. 20/20 group no longer hosting.

Jones is claiming Kamala is "running away", that's the dig. When what Kamala is doing protesting a group that gave Trump an award (using 9 students for a photo op and the rest of the students were made to stay in their dorms) and showing some integrity.

[oldsoftie]

12. Thank you.

[aikoaiko]

5. I've been super busy these last few days. What is this about?

[George II]

7. It seems to be Jones' mission in life - bashing Democrats.

[Cha]

17. No kidding!

22. for a Biden supporter you sure do love posting that POS troll Hoarse Whisperer, who retweets CT scum

Greg Olear, who smears Biden with 'groper' (he calls Biden Handsy McGee) allusions on multiple occasions.

Twitter is a pure cesspool.

I have to laugh when I see anti-Sanders and anti-Gabbard people (which is a completely understandable and valid stance for them) who also happen to be Biden supporters push tweets by trolls like Hoarse Whisperer ( a known liar who has started shitstorms on here via false tweets such as the pure lie that AOC was attacking Pelosi at that climate sit-in, when all AOC did was tell the demonstrators that SHE HAD PELOSI's BACK, ffs) who (Hoarse) also pushes tweets by known pure scum conspiracy theorists like Greg Olear, Olear being notorious for, amongst other things, labelling BIDEN Handsy McGee.


Here is the Hoarse Whisperer reweet of a bullshit Olear smear of Buttigieg (Olear smears the vast majority of Dems running for POTUS,other than he was a big Gillibrand fanboy, and now says Warren and Harris are the only two real ones left)




that bullshit is completely debunked here:

and here is Olear smearing Biden as (not for the first time) Handsy McGee

Both Hoarse and Olear can go fuck themselves.

Twitter is a full circle clusterfuck of shitbaggery.

19. Of course he did. He's a bit promoter of the retiring representative from Hawaii

and the junior senator from VT.

He's really fallen in my estimation during the past few years.

20. Van is a tool.

[Tipperary]

21. Ditto. nt

23. For the DU record

I just want to go on the official record here and say I despise Van Jones at this point.
