Van Jones: This Is A Populist Uprising Against The Status Quo
RCP video ^ | 6-13-2020 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 06/13/2020 9:02:16 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

Van Jones weighs in on President Donald Trump's comments on race relations at an economic roundtable event in Dallas on Thursday and what he believes is a "populist uprising against the status quo."

(snip)

VAN JONES, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: "...The dominoes are falling in one direction through corporate America, through the young people of America.

The irony here is that Donald Trump got into office by navigating the choppy waters of a populist uprising in the country in our party, you have the Bernie Sanders uprising in his party with a Donald Trump uprising. He should understand and recognize a populist uprising when he sees one.

But instead, this is a populist uprising against the status quo on race in this country. We are tired of his videos. We're tired of the stuff that is going on. And he is having a hard time navigating it because it doesn't fit with what he expects from populism in the country.

Van Jones: ... We are in a moment that maybe history will call maybe a Great Awakening, where people have come together. There is a new consensus that has emerged and people are moving on to get stuff done at all levels of society that the Trump administration still has an opportunity to be a more constructive part of this process. But the reality is, the reason he is even talking about this and the reason that we're talking about this is because millions -- tens of millions of ordinary Americans black, white and otherwise are in the streets right now wanting a better way forward, and the dominoes are falling in only one direction.

The Left can paint the current media created chaos a populist uprising now. Van Jones can pretend there's a consensus emerging and Trump can still bend his knees "to be more constructive".

They will know a TRUE populist uprising when one comes. Americans will not tolerate nonsense much longer.

Status quo? The left controls pretty much everything.

Uh, no it is not. This Insurrection needs to be crushed. Immediately and with extreme force.

huh? I can tolerate liberals burning down their own homes and businesses forever :) Doesn’t bother me one bit.

I welcome the photos of the wasteland they will create in their own neighborhoods and welcome the tears to come in the future whining of “food deserts” and such.

This is a Soros-funded, Obama-organized summer camp for privileged white snowflakes to burn down black neighborhoods in the name of anti-Racism.

"The dominoes are falling in one direction through corporate America"

Where corporate America goes, so goes the GOP.

In case anyone is wondering why the Republican party has seemingly disappeared during this national destruction, their allegiance lies elsewhere.

It’s also a reason conservatives need to always be wary of “free enterprise” taking precedence over other cultural and national sentiments.

Populist Uprising? This is what fundamental transformation by America-hating, Leftist Anarchists looks like. Van Jones is as Red as they come.

Correct. And its therefore no surprise that nearly all of our institutions are failing us. Its hard to find any that are efficient, just and operating with integrity. They’re all mismanaged, self-serving and horribly biased.

They'll be scattered about this formerly great land of ours, rest assured.

A populist uprising caused by the Democrats forcing the police and national guard to stand down and let their cities burn while the Democrat press posted propaganda about how peaceful the protests were and DEMOCRAT controlled corporations, including ALL social media declared a political movement as untouchable?

That kind of populist movement?

Or is Van Jones talking about those who voted for Trump and thwarted Obama’s socialist agenda for which we’re being punished now?

I don’t think he’s going to like the results of the next populist uprising.

Yes, if every R can't get behind the simple concept of being against abortion, they have no moral standing in my book.

This is too funny. They want to paint Trump as status quo and run Biden, career trough feeder, as the “outside the beltway” populist. They will push the narrative and CNN will support them.
