On Tuesday, former commander-in-election-loss-disbelief Donald Trump was formally arrested after being indicted on legal fees final week and, effectively, let’s simply say nobody is especially unhappy about it exterior of the ‘Murica MAGA QMoron brigade.
Oh—and Van Jones. For no matter motive, Van Jones cares about how “unhappy” Trump regarded whereas he was being processed via the “jail system.”
“He seems unhappy,” Jones stated. “He seems unhappy. He seems like, um, ah, the burden of its hitting him. And you realize, simply as a human being, I don’t take pleasure. I don’t just like the jail system. I don’t like what it does to individuals. I don’t like this course of. I don’t take any celebration in seeing him trying that means. He seems at it now—it doesn’t imply accountability is just not owed.”
“We don’t know what he’s going to be charged with, there’s much more bump. However at that second, that isn’t a conqueror. That may be a granddad having a really dangerous day,” Jones added.
In fact, it’s not terribly shocking that the man who perpetually retains at the very least one large toe within the sunken place is expressing sympathy for a “granddad” who not often, if ever, extends a shred of grace to anybody who opposes him in any means, not to mention a Black CNN contributor who cried tears of pleasure when he was voted out of workplace. To be honest, Jones additionally repeatedly urged Black individuals to offer Donald Trump his flowers as a result of Trump “did great things for the Black neighborhood,” although he actually didn’t.
Look, simply because Jones strikes forwards and backwards from the left to the middle to the slight proper just like the political world was his personal private foosball desk doesn’t imply he all the time must be the democratic voice of Kumbaya whereas assuming the position of larger man on the excessive street that actually nobody requested him to tackle.
Or possibly he does.
Perhaps that’s the rationale he’s out right here tap-dancing at CPAC and appointing himself the white people-friendly spokesman for the Black Delegation whereas apologizing on behalf of Black People for antisemitism we’re largely not liable for.
Nonetheless, for somebody who obtained visibly flustered and offended when The View’s Sunny Hostin declared to him that “individuals within the Black neighborhood don’t belief” him as a result of he’s a model of Kunta Kinte who would proudly name himself “Toby” should you tried to clip his pinky toenail not to mention take an entire foot (I’m paraphrasing a bit), Jones certain appears keen to carry empathetic house for an orangey-white nationalist who calls Black prosecutors “racist” only for doing their jobs.
Trump began the warfare towards vital race principle, tried to disenfranchise principally Black voters via “cease the steal” propaganda, and he has repeatedly used his huge platform to harass Black election employees, once more, only for doing their jobs—however none of that issues as a result of, proper now, he’s a “granddad” who may be very “unhappy” about being handled like he isn’t above the regulation.
Critically, for this reason we don’t belief you, Van.
