CNN’s Van Jones on Race and Violence: Blame ‘White, Liberal Hillary Clinton Voters’

[See NewsBusters for more.] Liberal CNN commentator Van Jones on Friday surprised a lot of people when he blamed America’s race problems not on the Republican Party or red states in general, but on “white, liberal Hillary Clinton voters.” Talking about the George Floyd death and the violence and riots in Minneapolis, Jones said of people who are angry: “They're tired of people saying over and over again that, you know, we're just basically one bill away, one election away from some progress.” He blamed, “It is not the racist white person who is in the Ku Klux Klan that we have to worry about. It is the white liberal Hillary Clinton supporter walking her dog in Central Park who would tell you right now, you know, people like that, ‘I don't see race, race is no big deal to me, I see us all as the same, I give to charities.’”
