Van Jones, the CNN political commentator and outspoken critic of President Trump, has come around to admiring POTUS and Twitter can’t believe it, making him a trending topic who is getting panned on social media.

That’s why we won three blue states. People are waking up.
They don’t like normal.
Piggy’s voice penetrated to Ralph.“Let me speak.”
He was standing in the dust of the fight, and as the tribe saw his intention the shrill cheer changed to a steady booing.
Piggy held up the conch and the booing sagged a little, then came up again to strength.
“I got the conch!”
He shouted.
“I tell you, I got the conch!”
Surprisingly, there was silence now; the tribe were curious to hear what amusing thing he might have to say.
Silence and pause; but in the silence a curious air-noise, close by Ralph’s head. He gave it half his attention—and there it was again; a faint “Zup!”
Someone was throwing stones: Roger was dropping them, his one hand still on the lever. Below him, Ralph was a shock of hair and Piggy a bag of fat.
“I got this to say. You’re acting like a crowd of kids.” The booing rose and died again as Piggy lifted the white, magic shell.
“Which is better—to be a pack of painted Indians like you are, or to be sensible like Ralph is?”
A great clamor rose among the savages. Piggy shouted again. “Which is better—to have rules and agree, or to hunt and kill?”
Again the clamor and again—“Zup!”
Ralph shouted against the noise.
“Which is better, law and rescue, or hunting and breaking things up?”
Now Jack was yelling too and Ralph could no longer make himself heard. Jack had backed right against the tribe and they were a solid mass of menace that bristled with spears. The intention of a charge was forming among them; they were working up to it and the neck would beswept clear. Ralph stood facing them, a little to one side, his spear ready.
By him stood Piggy still holding out the talisman, the fragile, shining beauty of the shell. The storm of sound beat at them, an incantation of hatred. High overhead, Roger, with a sense of delirious abandonment, leaned all his weight on the lever.
Ralph heard the great rock before he saw it. He was aware of a jolt in the earth that came to him through the soles of his feet, and the breaking sound of stones at the top of the cliff. Then the monstrous red thing bounded across the neck and he flung himself flat while the tribe shrieked.
The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist. Piggy, saying nothing, with no time for even a grunt, traveled through the air sideways from the rock, turning over as he went. The rock bounded twice and was lost in the forest. Piggy fell forty feet and landed on his back across the square red rock in the sea. His head opened and stuff came out and turned red. Piggy’s arms and legs twitched a bit, like a pig’s after it has been killed. Then the sea breathed again in a long, slow sigh, the water boiled white and pink over the rock; and when it went, sucking back again, the body of Piggy was gone.
This time the silence was complete. Ralph’s lips formed a word but no sound came.
My apology to Mr. Jones, on that score. And cautious respect for his appearing to speak honestly.
It means "representing someone as other than The Monster they've defined him as".
You know - how the #FakeStreamMedia "normalized" the Monsters Clinton... 😀
You don’t understand Twitter.
CNN, you are what is not normal.
Normalize? You mean like calling Bruce Jenner a she? You people are all deranged!
As long as the Left continues to focus exclusively on Trump the man (as they perceive him) and continue to ignore (rather than making substantive arguments against) his policy positions, the President will continue to run circles around them. Happily, they appear incapable of learning from their mistakes.
Blacks will start abandoning the Democrat party in DROVES. And when that happens... the Democratic party will pull off it’s mask and reveal the party of the clan that it always was and is.
You're dreaming. None of those things will happen. Blacks will NEVER vote against their self interest a.k.a. welfare and affirmative action and government subsidies based on them being black.
You also show tired and worn out and very ineffective thinking that has plagued the Republican party for decades.
The GOP needs to (and will probably) ignore the "minority outreach" bullshit and start focusing on their base: tax payers and normal white Americans.
Pure democracy is simply mob rule.
We saw it in all of its glory a few weeks ago out in Bezerkly.
One thing to recall is the truth we discovered during under attack on @RushLimbaugh a few years back is how incredibly SMALL the population of these attacking activists is....
Looks like the Dem party is becoming even more fragmented. Tisk, tisk...
Van Jones will have half of his foot chopped off for trying to escape the plantation, like Kunte Kinte.
Welcome to the party, pal.
If only those were REAL people instead of fake Twitter people who get paid to hate Trump.
This is awesome. The more Americans see the REAL President Donald Trump, the more they will realize the whole leftist complex, including the media, was lying to them about him.
So many were taken in by their lies, including, of course, the left, the democrats and the nevertrumpers. A very valuable lesson is being learned here and it’s to not trust this liberal culture and MOSTLY their media. I am so glad to see more and more Americans wake up to their lies.
It’s a thing of beauty to watch to see the leftist culture and their media being torn down, bit by bit.

Being a conservative minority, I agree with this partially. The focus should not be on anyone's race but more on the fact they are all American citizens and the freedoms we have, guaranteed by our Constitution. The rest will take care of itself, regardless of race.
The problems I've run in to battling liberals and democrats, especially the younger they are, is they have no clue on the value of freedom. They just take for granted it is a given and given by their government. They have no clue about our Constitution. We can blame this on the decades of the leftist statist influence in our culture, including our schools, the entertainment industry, and the media.
President Reagan warned us of the consequences of not passing on the value of freedom to the next generations. That is what is playing out now, especially after the 8 years of the race-bating left and 0bama. They are the true racists because they can't see anything beyond race and use it to divide us. Divide and conquer is their strategy. I had a Black nurse tell us, everything was going well until 0bama come in to office. That is true, the left doubled-down on race-baiting making things much worse.
Maybe President Trump will be our shining light towards Americans understanding the value of freedom again. I certainly hope and pray it is so. We are so lucky to have a great document like our Constitution that protects our God-given freedoms and liberties of all Americans and all the opportunities that come with it,regardless of race.
I agree, the Republican party should not reach out to minorities just because they are minorities, but reach out to them as any other American that understands the value of freedom and the opportunities that go with it.

Van is CNN.
CNN trying to weasel its way back in, recover lost credibility.
Don’t be too quick to trust Van.
This could have been scripted.
