Will the DNC tolerate this?
CNN senior political commentator Van Jones spoke out against far-left influences within the Democratic Party during an appearance on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront” on Monday night. His comments followed a weekend post in which he criticized the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for advancing positions he categorized as “regressive.”
During the broadcast, Jones addressed his recent writing, in which he stated, “I’m tired of being told that to be a progressive, I now must swear allegiance to crazy ideas. I’m a strong Democrat with a winning bipartisan track record. I’m rooted in progressive ideals and policies, criminal justice reform, Green New Deal, Medicare for all, free education, clean air and water.”
Jones argued that while core progressive goals focus on social and economic support, certain factions are taking positions that depart from those traditional principles.
“Supporting Hamas is not progressive. No police, no prisons, no borders is not progressive. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is not progressive. These ideas are REGRESSIVE,” Jones wrote in his post.
