CNN's Van Jones Claims Trump 'Helps Make' Muslims 'Radical'
newsbusters.org ^ | 12/3/16 | Brad Wilmouth

Posted on 12/04/2016 7:06:08 AM PST by ColdOne

Appearing as a panel member on Thursday's Anderson Cooper 360, during a discussion of Muslim-Americans "self-radicalizing' and becoming terrorists, liberal CNN political commentator Van Jones at one point blamed Donald Trump for allegedly causing some to "self-radicalize."

As conservative CNN political commentator Jack Kingston argued in favor of studies to help answer the question of why "lone wolf" terrorists "became radical," Jones jumped in to inject: "When people say stuff like Trump. Trump kind of helps make people radical, but go ahead."

Sounds like Van knows something. Say, Van, got any special insight as to what's in the pike after Trump is inaugurated?

Should we avoid air travel for instance? Train travel? Marathons?

Van Jones, the jerk off who was fired from the Obama administration for being too communist?

That's the guy.

Fortunately for us, Obama wanted to appoint him at the very beginning of his administration, before he'd softened us up, or was secure in what he was doing. So, he dropped him after the initial uproar. But, later, he stuffed the halls of government with Muslims and black supremacists.

Van Jones, like Obama, has a silver tongue and could be very dangerous close to levers of power. However, unlike Obama, he didn't try to mask his leanings, so he's been outed.

I will be forever indebted to Van for his introduction of the term "WhiteLash" on Election Day. I'm waiting for tee-shirts to show up that say, "Whitelash--feel the sting."

Oh yeah Muslims are not responable for what they do. That’s a very similar
refrain we constantly hear about blacks. It’s because of evil whitey

Welch:
Mr. Cohn, what is the exact number of Communists or subversives that are loose today in these defense plants?
Cohn:
The exact number that is loose, sir?
Welch:
Yes, sir.
Cohn:
I don’t know.
Welch:
Roughly, how many?
Cohn:
I can only tell you, sir, what we know about.
Welch:
Well, that’s 130? Is that right?
Cohn:
Yes, sir, I’m going to try to particularize for you, if I can.
Welch:
I’m in a hurry. I don’t want the sun to go down while they’re still in there if we can get them out.
Cohn:
I’m afraid we won’t be able to work that fast.
Welch:
Well, I’ve got a suggestion about it, sir. How many are there?
Cohn:
I believe the figure is approximately 130.
Welch:
Approximately one-three-o?
Cohn:
Those are people, Mr. Welch—
Welch:
I don’t care. You’ve told us who they are. And how many plants are there?
Cohn:
How many plants?
Welch:
How many plants?
Cohn:
Yes, sir. Just one minute, sir. I see sixteen offhand.
Welch:
Sixteen plants. Are you alarmed at that situation, . MrCohn?
Cohn:
Yes, sir, I am.
Welch:
Nothing could be more alarming, could it?
Cohn:
It’s certainly a very alarming thing.
Welch:
Will you not, before the sun goes down, give those names to the FBI and at least have those men put under surveillance?
Cohn:
Sir, if there is need for surveillance in case of espionage or anything like that, I can well assure you, Mr. John Edgar Hoover and his men know a lot better than I, and I might respectfully suggest, sir, than probably a lot of us, just who should be put under surveillance. I do not purpose to tell the FBI how to run its job.
Welch:
And they do it. And they do it, don’t they Mr. Cohn?
Cohn:
When the need arises, of course.
Welch:
Then they’ve got the whole 130 have they, Mr. Cohn?
Cohn:
I am sure of it, sir, and a lot more.
Welch:
Then what’s all the excitement about, if J. Edgar Hoover is on the job, chasing those 130 Communists.
Cohn:
Mr. Welch, all the excitement?

McCarthy:
Mr. Chairman, in view of...
Chairman Karl Mundt (R-SD):
Do you have a point of order?

McCarthy:
Uh—not exactly, Mr. Chairman, but in view of Mr. Welch’s request that the information be given once we know of anyone who might be performing any work for the Communist Party, I think we should tell him that he has in his law firm a young man named Fisher whom he recommended, incidentally, to do the work on this Committee, who has been, for a number of years, a member of an organization which is named, oh, years and years ago, as the legal bulwark of the Communist Party, an organization which always springs to the defense of anyone who dares to expose Communists.

Knowing that, Mr. Welch, I just felt that I had a duty to respond to your urgent request that, “before sundown,” that if we know of anyone serving the Communist cause we let the agency know. We’re now letting you know your man did belong to this organization for either three or four years. Belong to it long after he was out of law school. And I have hesitated bringing that up, but I have been rather bored with your phony requests to Mr. Cohn here, that he personally get every Communist out of Government before sundown.
Whether you knew that he was a member of that Communist organization or not, I don’t know. I assume you did not, Mr. Welch, because I get the impression that while you are quite an actor, you play for a laugh, I don’t think you have any conception of the danger of the Communist Party. I don’t think you, yourself would ever knowingly aid the Communist cause. I think you’re unknowingly aiding with it when you try to burlesque this hearing in which we’re attempting to bring out the facts.

Meanwhile, Muslims are crucifying hundreds of Christians. It’s horrifying, but I don’t feel the need to grab a scimitar and slice up the nearest muslim.

I wish people like Van Jones would make up their minds.

I'm running out of space in my 500 sheet spiral notepad on what makes Muslims radical.

This idiot blamed Cheney for 911, now he’s blaming Trump.

The Democrat party is crumbling before our eyes. It is being taken over by blithering nut jobs with insane conspiracy theories. THEY are what they accuse the right to be.

Trump has been on the scene less than a year, he’s been PE less than a month...Muslims have been radical, and violent for HUNDREDS OF YEARS.

Muslims have been ‘radical’ since at least 1000 years before Trump was even born.

I can see how this illogic is going to go, though.

If you use his ‘logic’ such as it is, why would in not work the other way? Why would not Muslim’s actions not make Americans “radical”?

Why would not Van Jones, Clinton and their ilk not make many Americans “radical”?

He can’t have it both ways. (Well he can because he is not logical).
