Van Jones on The View yesterday- Interesting discussion

Here's the video:

He gives a preview of his upcoming special on CNN. He speaks with an Ohio family, who voted for Obama twice, but went for Trump this year. "We didn't go ask them for a date. Donald Trump shows up and takes them out and now we're mad." Van was spilling tons of truth tea all over the set.

His special "The Messy Truth" airs December 6th on CNN.
