Gonna be honest here, when I first saw the clip I thought that was what Van Jones might be saying. Because his very next sentence was “There’s nothing there you can DO.” Which indicates pretty clearly he meant that nothing would come of it—not necessarily that the issue was invented.
Seriously people, this is Van flipping Jones we’re talking about. You really think HE believes the issue was bogus?
IMHO O’Keefe was being sloppy with that one. Or release more of the tape and prove otherwise.
I dont buy your logic.
There is nothing I can do about convicting Hilary Clinton for her massive widespread corruption, but if asked about it, I would not use the term “nothing burger” to mean pursuit is futile. Nothing burger means there is nothing there. That is all it ever has meant.
