CNN commentator Van Jones said his phone was “blowing up” with calls after he called for Democrats to stand up to socialist candidates with “nutty ideas.”
Jones, a longtime Democrat, posted on X Monday night that “the response has been overwhelming. Leaders in both parties called to tell me the same thing: This stuff has gone too far.”
His remarks come as far-left Democratic Socialist candidates have shocked the party in recent primary wins in New York City — where Darializa Avila Chevalier (D) defeated longtime Bronx Congressman Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) — and in Colorado, where Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros ousted 15-term Democrat Diana DeGette (D-CO)
Chevalier previously deleted old social media posts outlining her support for abolishing police and prisons and seizing private property.
Appearing on CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront Sunday night with journalist Gretchen Carlson, Van Jones pointed to Chevalier as a prime example of the problem:
Well, listen, I, cannot tell you. This phone has been blowing up all day.
Governors from both parties, senators from both parties, Democrats in the House calling, thanking me for saying what everybody’s been saying behind the scenes, which is that this stuff is going too far.
I am a Progressive Democrat. You want to talk about prison reform? I’ve done it as well as anybody. Republican, Democrats in the south with Trump.
I’ve done prison reform. I never said have no prisons. Where are you going to put the Klan? I’ve done police reform. I’ve never said no police. Where are you going to put the pedophiles? Who’s going to grab the pedophiles? This stuff is going too far.
And part of the thing that has to happen is, we saw what happened in the Republican party when things started going in a nutty direction, and nobody stood up.
I am happy that the young people are fighting for affordability, a Medicare for all, all the good things, I’ve been waiting my whole life to see a youth movement do what it’s doing, but it’s being hijacked by people who are putting in nutty ideas, supporting terrorists, nutty ideas, saying that we don’t need cops in prisons. We can’t. We can’t deport anybody, even if they rape somebody. Who said this? Chevalier.
