Van Jones says phone ‘blowing up’ after saying democratic socialists ‘going too far’
Jones said far-left positions in the Democratic Party undermine progressive goals and warned that some DSA-backed candidates are moving the party too far left.
- On Monday, CNN senior political commentator Van Jones warned that far-left positions including 'no police, no prisons, no borders' are 'regressive' and should not be part of the Democratic Party.
- Following a Saturday Substack post, Jones slammed left-wing activists as 'party poopers,' using a metaphor about 'pooping in the Kool-Aid bowl' to argue against adding radical ideas to the Democratic Party platform.
- Jones specifically criticized Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani for endorsing congressional candidate Gabriella Chevalier, who he noted 'refused to denounce Hamas four times' while seeking to represent the Bronx.
- His comments sent 'shockwaves' through the party, Jones noted, with his phone 'blowing up all day' from governors, senators, and House Democrats calling to thank him.
- Distinguishing between his support for Medicare for All and the Green New Deal, Jones argued the Democratic Party must separate mainstream progressive ideals from radical factions distorting its platform.
