On CNN, liberal activist Anthony Kapel "Van" Jones said that "the Clinton days are over" in the Democratic Party, and pointed to two emerging leaders as the future of a more progressive political party focused on identity politics. Naturally, he chose two racial minority members of Congress — and the extremely controversial first Muslim congressman.

"You have to understand, I think that the Clinton days are over," Jones told CNN's Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday. "This idea that we're going to be this moderate party ... those days are over." Jones called for a new generation of Democrat leadership, touting California Attorney General Kamala Harris (an anti-free speech activist) and Representative Keith Ellison, the first Muslim member of Congress and a candidate for the Democratic National Committee chairmanship.

"I think that Keith Ellison is very important because he is somebody who represents the progressive wing of the party," Jones declared. "On thing that happened, when

Democrats have traditionally given Republicans advice on the best way to win elections. They are so kind. It’s only fair that we return the favor. Keith Ellison is a moderate who will attract even Republicans to the party. Please don’t criticize him because you will reveal yourself as a racist. Maybe they could run Van Jones run for president. Keep digging.

What is Ellison’s Muslim name?

When Ellison was associating with Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam in the late 1990's he was referring to himself as Keith X Ellison (as in Malcom X) and Keith Ellison-Muhammed.

The Democrats are going to looks really bad when their leader loses all his security clearances due to his Muslim Brotherhood ties once Trump has them declared an international terrorist organization.

The 2020 Democrat Presidential bumper sticker will read

Communists and Moslems can exist in the same party until the Party takes power, real power like the Communists thought they were going to attain in November last. If that were to happen with the Party including including a substantial group of Moslems. then the Communists would turn on the Moslems and the Moslems would be attacking the infidels.

I very much hope that they choose Ellison to lead the party. It would lead to further destruction of the Democratic Party.

I wonder if van Jones knows that the Arabic word for “Black” (abeed) is the same as the Arabic word for “slave”.

Just sayin’.

Please, please, please!

This will be taking the sunken ship of the democratic party and using an underwater tractor to push it into Mariana’s Trench.

I agree with Van Jones on this.

Keith Ellison is the future of the Democratic Party. Old Blue Dogs, Jews like Dershowitz, taxpayers, and the rest of the basket of deplorables have no place in today’s Democratic Party.

It looks like the GOP may have some competition in the race for being the “stupid” political party in America!
