Van Jones: Dems Sticking with Platner Because Collins Won’t Stop ‘Deranged’ Trump

Monday on CNN’s “The Source,” network political commentator Van Jones said Democrats were sticking with scandal-ridden Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner because Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) won’t stop “completely deranged” President Donald Trump.

Jones said, “You know, I don’t like this kind of stuff in that, you know, there used to be a time where character mattered a lot more. But where we are now, I remember Bill Clinton. He had a bunch of scandals, and the party said, you know what? We are more concerned about end of Republican rule in DC and they rallied behind Bill Clinton. I think you guys see the same thing in Maine. I think the problem you have now is just that the, the standards have dropped so low, because of Trump’s behavior you got a crazy guy running for the Senate in Texas who’ve been impeached, and then all terrible stuff. So the standards are just falling down through the floorboards. And, I don’t think the Democrats are going to run away from them, but it doesn’t make me very happy.”

Jones makes a contradiction, a hallmark of the Left: if Democrats and the Left had already thrown away their standards for Clinton, well before Trump was in the political sphere, then Trump isn't really the reason the Left has no standards and its all about power for them.
Jones admits as much in his attempt to shift accountability for the actions of the Left onto Trump (and Trump is a proxy for 'everyone not on the Left').

What a man, what a man, what a mighty fine man!

[TTFlyer]

‘Rats have standards? Since when.

[CondoleezzaProtege]

From a DNC standpoint, they should swap out Platner for James Talarico, who has a much stronger chance in Maine than in TX.

[going hot]

Yeah, they eat sh*t from clean end.

[blackdog]

Projection.

[mewzilla]

Maine has RCV.

Who needs standards.

[bray]

Not being a hardcore communists makes you deranged.

[MrRelevant]

The left for a long time have broken laws, cheered on communists and supported anti-American policies as a means to an end. Being a a cheating scumbag nazi is okay as long as he “stops” Trump. Its just gotten exponentially worse since Trump became POTUS.

[No name given]

Never.

[nickcarraway]

I did nazi that coming.

[No name given]

As usual.

[nickcarraway]

Because Collins is Trump’s most ardent supporter.

[piytar]

Good points.

PS They especially hate Trump exactly because he is exceptionally good at being in the way of the leftscum’s power grab. But all Freepers know that.

[piytar]

Nod. They do have one rule though: power at all costs.

[piytar]

😆

[Texas Eagle]

Yeah. We know.

[escapefromboston]

Leave it to the Dems to find the one neo Nazi who hates white people

[Libloather]

...they rallied behind Bill Clinton.

Juanita Broaddrick didn't.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Conservatives used to joke that Democrats would vote for Hitler if he ran against Trump. I guess it turned out to be true.
