CNN political commentator Van Jones said Tuesday on CNN that former President Donald Trump picking Georgia Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker was an insult to black voters.
Jones said, “What I do know is this, tonight is about Georgia. And tonight is about Trump picking somebody who frankly used to be a hero – Herschel Walker used to be an inspiration, now it means insult. He’s an insult to the black community. What you may see tonight is people coming out, not just to vote in favor of a senator they love but just to vote against Donald Trump picking somebody like this and throwing this person at the voters in Georgia. Like you’ll just pick anybody who is black.”
He added, “His judgment, Trump’s judgment tonight, is going to be, I think, called into question by a lot of people. And I think that when you have a situation where it’s obvious that Trump, he was a little too clever by half. ‘I know, I’m going to put a black guy against a black guy,’ but the guy he picked was the wrong black guy. ”
Political commentator Ashley Allison said, “I think if you are Herschel Walker, you are an insult to the black voters of Georgia. And honestly, I mean, I’m not a Republican, but it would be an insult to me as a Republican to think that this is the type of person that I actually want to send to the United States Senate.”

Trump should go away. I love the man, but he was a poor articulator of conservatism. Walker is an excellent man, but too many idiots voted to stick it to Trump. Same with Oz. Trump and Hannity killed off Barnette.
Also, aside from judges, most of his picks were nauseating.
Walker was a bad choice, but it sure as hell wasn’t an “insult to the black community”.
Oh yes take political advice from a communist. I am sure he wants the Republicans to win…..(sarcasm off)
We saw this in 2018 and 2020. Then Republicans act surprised?
You can’t win rigged elections. It’s like trying to win a rigged poker game.
It’s. It going to happen.
Get rid of the rigged machines that magically go to the Democrats on every critical election End that mail in voting for anyone. It should only be for those in the very old, the handicapped, the military personnel that are stationed somewhere else and the diplomats overseas.
Require voting ID and clean out all the voting rosters where people have moved or passed away.
Nothing will change unless this is addressed first.
Many people try to warn the Republicans this would happen if they just ignored it.
the republicrat party is always in on the steal.
enough to dispirit the conservative base whilst skimming off the donations top put another fake conservative in office... just like in Alaska...
Trump gave us a taste of the outsider winning and winning and winning... and then cheating at any cost to get him kept out of his second term.
now we want winning... and can’t get there from here... the fix is clearly in and in to stay.
sad,
And Al Sharpton isn’t?
What is a “black community “?
Are all the houses black?
Are the lawns black?
All cars have to be black?
Sounds like a place where everything is required to be one way .
Sounds very un American.
RACISS when it suits ‘em..
Not sure what’s the matter with Georgia as neither of these were what some would consider the cream of the crop. However we’re seeing a lot of this these days. AOC and others like her winning their districts is embarrassing.
Jonesy got him a honky wife? There’s a lot of that going around on the TV ads. That and women taking dumps on TV.
Jones is an insult to both the blacks and the commies.
President Trump rebuilt the United States military after eight years of decline and neglect under the previous Administration. He revitalized our defense industrial base, secured the largest pay raise for our troops in a decade, and created the sixth branch of our Armed Forces: the United States Space Force. President Trump also became the first American leader since Ronald Reagan not to start a war.
On President Trump’s watch, the world’s most notorious terrorists were brought to justice; the ISIS territorial caliphate was completely destroyed; and violent, corrupt regimes were held accountable through a mix of sanctions and targeted military action.
Rebuilt the military and created the Sixth Branch, the United States Space Force
Defeated terrorists, held leaders accountable for malign actions, and bolstered peace around the world
Addressed gaps in American’s defense-industrial base, providing much-needed updates to improve the safety of our country
I dare Van to challenge Hershel to a fight they can do it for charity
The racist Jones woudl have said that about ANY black person who ran as a conservative- He hates what he apparently thinks are ‘uppity blacks’ who dare run as conservatives
Whip bosses hate blacks leaving the plantation.
Is that why 110% of blacks vote in Atlanta?
Van Jones is a disgrace to the black community.
