Cue the violins, please!
Ladies and gentlemen, following the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle on Thursday — hosted by CNN — commentator Van Jones delivered what seemed to be a heartfelt eulogy memorializing President Joe Biden’s performance against former President Donald Trump.
Jones words harkened back to the moment after Trump was elected in 2016, when he called Trump’s victory a “whitelash.” Jones spoke about his connection to Biden before lamenting about what he felt was the result of the debate.

“That was not what we needed from Joe Biden,” Jones said on CNN post-debate panel. “And it’s personally painful for a lot of people. It’s not just panic, it’s pain of what we saw tonight.”
Poor Van. Please donate any extra tissues you might have to Jones, care of CNN, and don’t forget to pour a little bit of your favorite alcoholic beverage out for him to show your support.
