SIAP but I didn't see it on the first page.

He acted like a man there. I don’t like van. But he wasn’t forced to admit that. He gets credit for that from me.

I pray he does follow through and attend Charlie’s memorial service and is convicted to repent and turn to Jesus.

And van will go right back to calling anyone right of center a racist, fascist, bigot, etc. He'll break out the "both sides" bullshite as well.

Van is an interesting figure… he has seemed torn in recent years as he’s very much wrapped in a blanket of TDS but he has shown some cracks in his facade…He knows that the party he’s been influencing isn’t the same now and part of that is of his doing..

A total racist clown

He's definitely an enigma publicly. His "whitelash" comment will forever live in infamy. But he does seems like a relatively normal dude that just shoots from the hip, albeit on cable news.

Van Jones has said a lot of stupid things, but he's shown decency and grace in the aftermath of the assassination. I'll give credit where it's due.

At least he admitted he sees us as enemies.

Because sometimes it takes guilt a while to build up and the only way for the guilt to stop is to release it, dumb arse.

I'm not saying he's someone we should admire. I'm saying even Charlie Kirk’s enemies can't trash him, if they're being honest with themselves.

Charlie is going to be Canonized.

One of us. A saint.

I fully expect Van to do a Cenk soon.

Van's general ideology is batshit, but I don't think he's like many modern leftists.

I posted years ago that he was the only analyst on CNN during 2016 who warned that Trump was resonating with voters, while his colleagues laughed him off and said Trump "had a ceiling".

Even Shapiro has said that he believes Van is a decent guy.

I'm certainly torn. His rhetoric helped kill Charlie. He is literally out there all the time dogpiling on the bullshite fascist/white supremacy BS. But, not many of his ilk would have said what he said there. So maybe there is hope for him at some point, but I doubt it. Could be a momentary attempt to jump ahead of the narrative. I hope not but he is consistently showed he is a POS. Time will tell.

It sounds like an exploit.
