“He felt like they were rude, and he was completely blindsided by how they questioned him. He was not happy about how the interview went. It was unprofessional,” a TV source told Page Six.

Jones appeared on the show to promote his new documentary, “The Reunited States,” produced with “The View” co-host Meghan McCain. But the interview took an unexpected turn when the show’s Sunny Hostin, and part-time co-host Ana Navarra, took Jones to task for his past association with the Trump administration.

“There are those who really accuse you of being an opportunist, a chameleon so to speak, who provided a racial cover for former disgraced, twice impeached, President Trump… People in the black community don’t trust you anymore. What is your response?” Hostin asked him. Navarro followed up by saying: “You’ve lost a lot of people who trusted you, and who saw you as a voice, because of the positions you took during Trump.”

Should have pulled the race card on them, Old Joy would have started balling, apologizing and begging forgiveness.

going into a pit of venomous snakes, he should have been prepared to give back more than they would give him.

DUH, you’re a man in the middle of a bunch of hens having a pecking party.

When a group of gossipy old ladies gather around and talk about everything they know, from whose son is gay to who had their baby five months before they got married.

Why would any intelligent person watch or be a guest on that show?

Van Jones is a self described communist.

The honest Communists are not nearly as dangerous as the ones who don't admit what they are.

Given the time of day the show is on I wonder why it it given as much attention as it is. It is pushed by the media establishment into having more influence than it warrants.

“He felt like they were rude, and he was completely blindsided by how they questioned him.”

It gives him something to talk about at his next CPAC appearance.

The ones who don't admit what they are go visit the Capitol dressed in MAGA hats and carrying Confederate flags.

Revolutionaries always eat their own. Robespierre got the same guillotine treatment he had meted out to hundreds of others.

CNN analyst [black, open communist] Van Jones told Democrats to “wake up” Tuesday night because President Donald Trump is “effective” in “going after enough black votes to cause us problems.” “What he was saying to African-Americans can be effective,” Jones told a CNN panel following Trump’s State of the Union address.

“You may not like it but he mentioned HBCUs [Historic Black Colleges and Universities]: black colleges have been struggling for a long time, a bunch of them have gone under, he threw a lifeline to them in real life in his budget.

He talked about this. He talked about criminal justice reform. He talked about Opportunity Zones.” ...”

“I think what you’re going to see him do, you may not like my rhetoric, but look at my results and my record for black people. If he narrow casts that, it’s going to be effective,” he said. ...”

The CNN analyst, who has praised Trump in the past for criminal justice reform, said Democrats cannot afford to underrate Trump’s ability to attract non-white voters. In Tuesday’s address, Trump cited black unemployment numbers that are the lowest ever recorded.

A recent Gallup poll also revealed that satisfaction with “race relations” has jumped 14% since Trump took office.”
