On Friday, CNN political commentator Van Jones appeared on CNN’s “OutFront” and revealed a serious outpouring of anger from the Democratic Party for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. This comes after Schumer voted alongside Republicans for a funding bill to prevent a government shutdown.
Host Erin Burnett asked, “How angry are Democrats at Leader Schumer?”
Jones replied, “I’ve never seen this level of volcanic anger at a Democrat, ever.”
Burnett said, “Ever, wow.”
The former Obama advisor continued, “We can be grumpy. We can be frustrated with each other. There is a volcanic eruption of outrage at leader Schumer because we want a Mitch McConnell.”
As a Republican, the left can have RINO McConnell!!
Jones said, “I remember when Obama had all the cards, Mitch McConnell drove Obama nuts – twisted his pinky, broke his kneecaps, and got stuff done for Republicans when they shouldn’t have gotten an inch. They got miles. We have a Senate majority leader who is beloved in this party, but we want somebody who’s gonna stand up to this bully. Stand up to this bully. Do something.”
He added, “There’s an emotional need to stop Donald Trump and Elon Musk from running over this party. And I think Chuck Schumer has radically misread the room.”
