Van Jones: Trump Picking Herschel Walker Was ‘Insult to the Black Community’
Breitbart ^ | PAM KEY

Posted on 12/06/2022 7:04:30 PM PST by SoConPubbie

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,

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.

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.

What an ass.

The man you call inarticulate, accomplish the following list of items just in the Economic category.

I'll take him over somebody like DeSanctimonious who is already owned by the Globalists and Establishment:


Before the Coronavirus spread from China across the globe, President Trump helped America build its strongest economy in history. Median household incomes rose to their highest level ever in 2019, while the poverty rate hit an all-time low. Under the Trump Administration, more Americans were employed than ever before—160 million—and the unemployment rate fell to a 50-year low. The unemployment rates for African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Americans without a high-school diploma all hit record lows, while the Trump “Blue-Collar Boom” saw wages grow faster for workers than for managers or supervisors.

After COVID-19 forced a temporary economic shutdown, President Trump signed the largest relief package in American history to protect workers and families from economic devastation. Under President Trump’s leadership, the American economy surged back to life within months, seeing record growth and job gains.

The Blue-Collar, Middle-Class Trump Economy

Administration Achievements



UNPRECEDENTED ECONOMIC BOOM

Before the Coronavirus invaded our shores, we built the world’s most prosperous economy

Delivered a future of greater promise and opportunity for citizens of all backgrounds

Brought jobs, factories, and industries back to the USA

Hit record stock market numbers and record 401ks

Achieved a record-setting economic comeback by rejecting blanket lockdowns



FAIR AND RECIPROCAL TRADE

Secured historic trade deals to defend American workers

Took strong actions to confront unfair trade practices and put America First

That same man you call inarticulate, accomplished the following with respect to the military.

Once again, I'll take him over your ill-informed comments and the Globalist / Establishment backed DeSanctimonious any day of the week:


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.

Creating the Space Force and Funding the Military

Administration Achievements



COLOSSAL REBUILDING OF THE MILITARY

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

Once again, when DeSanctimonious is able to accomplish 1/10 th of what the GOAT President Trump accomplished without the support of congress, the courts, or his own party, then DeSanctimonious might be somebody that can be considered a Mini-Me of Trump.

Here is what President Trump accomplished on Immigration:


President Trump kept his promise to build a wall on our southern border between the United States and Mexico. With 450 miles complete—and many more in progress—illegal crossings plummeted over 87 percent in areas where the wall went up.

By enforcing America’s immigration laws, President Trump made major gains toward ending the humanitarian crisis at our border; keeping criminals, terrorists, and drugs out of our country; and protecting American workers and taxpayers against job loss and misuse of the welfare system.

Administration Achievements



ACHIEVING A SECURE BORDER

Secured the Southern Border of the United States

Fully enforced the immigration laws of the United States

Secured our Nation’s immigration system against criminals and terrorists

Protected American workers and taxpayers
