I was wrong about Van Jones [View all]

I though he was a voice of reason and someone in the media who would be a truth teller. He really shit the bed with his "he became President tonight" BS after Trump's successful TelePromter reading last Monday. I can't watch him anymore. He has shown his true soul and has lost all credibility.
