Van Jones: Republicans "Never Figured Out" Secret Democratic Online Messaging Group
RealClearPolitics ^ | November 10, 2026 | Tim Hains

Posted on 11/10/2026 8:37:23 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

CNN’s Van Jones says the Democratic Party's “American Accountability Network” coordinated tens of thousands of people to amplify their message across social media. “The Republicans never figured out what we were doing!" he said. "Don’t get mad at me. I was given permission to reveal this"

"Driving the kitchen table affordability message and tying that to Democrats on a positive and Republicans on a negative," he said. "They couldn't get any traction on these cultural war issues anymore because we figured out how to get around that."

"They never figured it out, and that network is going to continue to push for kitchen-table issues and hold our Democratic lawmakers accountable."

VAN JONES: Now it can be told. How did we win the narrative on affordability? Was it just these nice little Democrats out there running for office and going, “No”? The Republicans never figured out what we were doing.

There’s something called the American Accountability Network: tens of thousands of online humans, not bots, coordinated to make the affordability message a winning message online.

Thirty-two and a half million people hit on Instagram every day, 88.8 million hits on Twitter every single day, and 185 million Facebook hits every single day—and they never figured it out.

The Republicans could not understand: It wasn’t bots. It was actual human beings. The most effective online organizing campaign, called the American Accountability Network, flew under the radar screen. It had never been told. They were talking about the issue, or they were saying, “You need to elect Democrats to deal with this,” driving the kitchen-table affordability message and tying that to Democrats on a positive and Republicans on a negative.

If Van Jones knew about, you know damn well everybody else at CNN knew about it. Other than Scott Jennings. Trump was right all along. The Fake News Media is an arm of the demonicRAT Nationalist Socialist Party.

Jones has a point here, unfortunately.

Any party that wants to bring down inflation will start cutting spending. The GOP increased spending over the last two years. So the age old “its the economy stupid” bit the GOP by their own doing.

I wish it were different. I wish they would’ve cut spending.

It’s such a shame that the last two years have basically nothing to show for it. The GOP just sat around. Sat and did nothing. We got BBB, some other thing, and then basically the GOP spent 6 months obstructing the SAVE act. What a bunch of losers.

Not entirely a psy-op.

The GOP could have brought inflation down. They could have cut spending.

The GOP did not cut spending.

But “do not worry????” - because the incoming Democrats aren’t going to cut spending either and that probably puts the House back into our hands in 2028.

The Senate will be out of reach for many many moons.

There weren’t enough demonicRAT voters. It was simple minded republicans and TDS Positive FReeptards who bought the con.

Trump put in another tariff every time he was inspired by a bowel movement, and invaded Iran with no plan to get out, which sent oil prices skyrocketing. Thats why inflation didn’t go down.

...and they'll earn the same fate as the republicans...when the people tell them a "message"...is not a "solution"...

Problem is...voting bums out is not enough...when all there are, are....bums.

So what are we going to call our American Accountability Network? Two can play this game, Van MoFo Jones! I’ve got time & I’m on social media daily. I know we can’t play by the old rules because politics has changed forever, thanks to the demoncrats.

I wouldn’t trust anything that POS Jones says. The only way they’d know how many ppl were engaging online was if they were paying them. Knowing how lazy radical extremists are, it was probably mainly bots, especially since he mentioned they weren’t bots twice. I hope someone like Data Republican can get to the bottom of this story & expose these charlatans.

Trump used social media to his advantage in ‘24. They took it to the next level this time. Maybe President Trump should’ve done another interview with Joe Rogan and Steven Crowder and other podcasters. I think he put too much faith in the rallies.

You think “cutting spending” would have been a winning issue for us? Look around you. The radical left has taken over the Democrat party & the youth of America. All they want is free sh!t. Putting them on a budget is the last thing we could do to sway their vote.

At this point, it’s time to get to work both politically & professionally. The damage the left is capable of doing to America will require ppl who have nothing left to lose in order to right our country. We’re building up our cash savings, getting out of debt, going back to work, being self-sufficient as much as possible, & going on social media every freaking day to counter the socialists & hold ppl accountable & remind them that every problem in their lives is the fault of Demoncrats.

The good news is that it’s inevitable that the Demoncrats will fail at governing & then the left will eat their own, so don’t forget to stock up on popcorn!

And the reason the Republicans couldn't counter something so basic is because...?

Come on. Van Jones isn't exactly talking about some earth-shattering concept.

The fact the GOP didn't respond to this with something similar is because they want to be beautiful lovers.

And you don't need to be suffering from TDS to see that.
