Exactly! These are GOOD things for black people. These are GOOD things for America. They are BAD only for libs, because they expose the failures in their socialist agenda.

Nothing they do is plan reporting, anymore.

Would you offer a black man $100 to walk around in a crowd wearing a MAGA hat for an hour?

Save your money and attend a Trump rally there are many.

In fact, the one in Sunrise had a Black gay dude (yes that's right) collecting voter registrations. My buddy asked him if it was a waste of time because he assumed everyone there is already registered. He opened the clipboard compartment and had a stack about 1/2" thick of completed voter registration apps.

I guess he’s finally seeing that “white-wash” he spoke of three years ago.

On election night, Jones called the election of Donald Trump a "white lash".

I have NEVER for a democRat and will never vote for one. On March 3 is our primaries and everyone that running for city council is a democrat. So I am going to skip by them and go to the national election. I will vote for my Congress man and President Trump. I never vote for judges especially thos that are not in our area. I also don't vote for property accessors (sp) Meaning those that raise your property taxes.

One of the most worrisome moments for Van Jones was the president’s pitch for improved education for African-Americans. “You may not like it,” Van Jones cautioned his fellow panelists, “but he mentioned HBCU’s (historically black colleges and universities), have been struggling for a long time, a bunch of them have gone under, he threw a lifeline to them in real life in his budget.”

President Trump mentioned that Van Jones went to the White House hat-in-hand to seek money for HBCUs, and the President gave him more than he asked for. (Not a word of appreciation from Jones.)

Now, at least Jones is acknowledging as much. But it's strange that he's focusing on the "fear" that President Trump is helping out African-Americans (and the Dems aren't.)

It's a shame that they always have to focus on the negative and can't give the President credit for what he is doing.

Exactly what I thought when I was reading it.

Liberals are upset that Donald Trump is doing good things for black people. They are crushed that he’s not really a racist. They actually pray that he harms black people. This is nauseating.

Hmmm??? Democrats (like Van Jones of CNN) are expressing concerns that Trump’s policies are helping... thus being supported by minority voters. Yet he/they seem less concerned (even depressed), that those minority lives are actually improving... with the dreaded possible side effect of helping Trump in 2020 (OMG NO!!!).

The Dems have “owned” the minority vote for decades, but (somehow?) did not accomplish what Trump has done in THREE years... all done in spite of fierce “resistance” from media/Deep State to his efforts!!! (why that?).
With this dismal comparison... I would advise the Dems that it seems their only counter policy is to yell “RACIST” even louder. #JustWannaHelp!

Yo, bro, I said in the primary, that has no effect for my vote in the real election, except that I think Bernie is the easiest one to beat here in PA.

Great article. Thanks for posting! Who knew... Jones was at CPAC, Jared worked with Obama, and now Jones is considered a sellout.

The Dems have lost the black vote. Like they lost my grandparents, it may take a generation for the votes to switch but they jumped the shark. Blacks will have to decide how much free stuff is worth compared to prenatal genoicide, illiteracy, faithlessness, gender dysphoria, familial havoc, dependency, drug abuse, violent crime,... It may not be perfect but blacks will lose the most if we lose our country. But then they have already lost much.

pure showmanship

That's what you call it when you effectively communicate what actions you are taking to give a class of voters something that they want and need?

Reality TV where we substitute actual reality for what normally made up and scripted by the Democrat stage manager.

Good for Van Jones! Amazing how this guy came into the political scene, and this will be a fitting exit in November I hope.

So, why haven’t the RATs done something for these colleges?

Rhetorical question.

We are going to do the same thing here in Illinois.

Confusion to our enemies.
