Former Barack Obama adviser Van Jones argued Thursday that the energy at this week’s Republican National Convention was comparable to what he saw when the nation’s first black president was first nominated in 2008.
Jones, now a CNN senior political commentator, talked about the palpable “spirit” and enthusiasm he could feel among the people at the RNC.
After CNN contributor Scott Jennings spoke with excitement about wrestler Hulk Hogan, UFC head Dana White and former President Donald Trump’s upcoming speeches at the RNC, Jones said, “This spirit that this guy [Jennings] has, you guys think it’s because he’s drunk, he’s not, this whole thing is like this.”
“The last time I was at a convention that felt like this was Obama 2008. There’s something happening,” he said.

Van, anti-marxism is the name for what you sense happening.
You know something is happening,
But you don’t know what it is.
Do you, Mr. Jones.
Something’s happening here.
What it is, ain’t exactly clear.
There’s a man with a gun over there.
Telling me, I’ve got to, got to beware...
someone was calling for jones to be fired because he has been too nice to the republicans.
I think Van is very clean and articulate.
Its almost a reaction like the kids in the story where they would torment a chained dog on a daily basis, staying just beyond the length of the chain. And then one day the kids discover the owner replaced the chain the night before, but it was longer...
Is anyone able to postThe Ugandan kids recreating the rally triumph
Gutfeld showed it on Wednesday night show
They had a RINO named McCain and a heavily promoted media controlled puppet facing off against one another.
Hugest difference ever between then and now!!
Wow
Van is a Yalie.
Must have jumped on the Trump train with his homey J D.
Backlash from 20 years of democrats dividing this country.
So many are fed up.
1/2 the voters don’t even know America was actually great.
Well, now they want to find out if it really was true.
It was, and still will be again.
... also the 1996 DNC silly macarena segment with the big screen showing a picture of Bill Clinton. That’s when I knew the 1996 election was over.
2008 was about electing the first half-Black President.
2024 is about saving the Republic.
See the difference?
Yeah...same thing...
2008 - a vacuous Kenyan anti-American racist gasbag community organizer Marxist choom smoker with zero accomplishments who had previously used dirty tricks to get opponents booted from the ballot. His only claim to fame was melanin and smooth talk.
2024 - no description needed
I have to give him credit. At least he acknowledged that it was special, instead of lying about it like the rest of the dems.
If they loved Obama they must love Biden Obama was steering him on what to do aka 3rd term.
It’s MAGA you dumb ass !
vj sees the writing on the wall and he wants 15 more minutes in the spotlight after Trump is back. Like he did during Trump’s first term. Don’t think Trump has forgotten what he said about him after Trump left office.
Yep. FAFO on steroids.
