CNN’s Van Jones Says Erika Kirk ‘Has Tremendous Moral Authority’

CNN’s Van Jones said Erika Kirk had “tremendous moral authority” on Wednesday, claiming that she has the “opportunity” to bring people together to address violence in America.

“Saturday was yet another traumatic example of the evil in our country and the continued rise in political violence,” Kirk wrote. “I’m taking time to spend with my family.”

Kirk shared more detailed thoughts on Wednesday’s edition of The Charlie Kirk Show, where she blamed the press and commentators for the “systemic indoctrination and radicalization” of U.S. citizens.

“This culture we’re living in absorbs disagreement into personal betrayal,” she said. “It turns having an opposing viewpoint into a moral crime worthy of punishment.”

CNN host Erin Burnett played a clip from Kirk’s remarks where the TPUSA head called out those on the left for their reaction to Trump’s multiple assassination attempts.

“There has never been a president who has faced this many assassination attempts in America’s entire history. And after each one, the reaction from the far left has been, at best, a shrug and in some cases, a sick disappointment that the shooter was unsuccessful,” Kirk said. “We are all human beings, and if you can just pause and just take a minute and ask yourself, how would you feel if even just one person made cruel jokes about the attempted murder of your loved one?”

Jones, however, went on to say that Kirk would hurt her potential to use that opportunity if she were “only going to chastise one side.”

Only one side has become psychopathic terrorists from top to bottom, Van.

So Turning Points main mission seems to have gone from mobilization of the youth vote to making sure no one questions the shooting narrative.

Yeah, sure she is not fake at all.
