CNN Contributor Van Jones: Trump “Has Done Good Stuff For The Black Community”

Wow!

What a surprise a CNN contributor actually gave Trump a compliment.

Van Jones who was a former advisor to Obama said: “Donald Trump — and I get beat up by liberals every time I say this, but I’m gonna keep saying it — he has done good stuff for the black community,”.

He didn’t stop there he continued to praise Trump and said “I saw Donald Trump have African American people, formerly incarcerated, in the White House — embraced them, treated them well. There’s a side to Donald Trump that I think he does not get enough credit for.”

The New York Post covered the full story and had this to report:

Former Obama White House adviser Van Jones came to President Trump’s defense Friday saying the brash billionaire did “good stuff for the black community,” and didn’t get the credit he deserved for his work on criminal justice reform.

“Donald Trump — and I get beat up by liberals every time I say this, but I’m gonna keep saying it — he has done good stuff for the black community,” Jones said on CNN, where he is a frequent contributor. “Opportunity zone stuff, black college stuff. I worked with him on criminal justice stuff. I saw Donald Trump have African American people, formerly incarcerated, in the White House — embraced them, treated them well. There’s a side to Donald Trump that I think he does not get enough credit for.”

Jones said part of the reason Trump’s accomplishments didn’t break through were because of the “incendiary stuff” the president said. He also accused Trump of violating “the No. 1 rule of blackness, which is, ‘I don’t mess with people who mess with people I don’t mess with,’”

Fox News covered the story too:

CNN commentator Van Jones offered President Trump some positive words he rarely receives from the anti-Trump network.

During a panel discussion on Friday, CNN anchor Jake Tapper slammed the president for remarks he made during the final presidential debate, including saying he’s “done more” for the Black community than any president with the “possible exception of Abraham Lincoln” and how he declared himself as the “least racist” person in the room.

However, Jones took the conversation in a different direction than what Tapper was likely expecting.

“I think it’s really unfortunate because Donald Trump, and I get beat up by liberals every time I say it but I keep saying it, he has done good stuff for the Black community,” Jones said. “Opportunity Zone stuff, Black college stuff, I worked with him on criminal stuff, I saw Donald Trump have African American people, formally incarcerated, in the White House, embraced them, treated them well. There is a side to Donald Trump that I think he does not get enough credit for.”

Van Jones is right.

Trump has done good stuff for the black community but most liberals rather not look at the facts.
