Van Jones has MAJOR epiphany after Trump’s speech: ‘He became POTUS in that moment. Period’
BPR ^ | 1 Mar 2017 | Michael Dorstewitz

In a word, there was a moment in President Donald Trump‘s address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night when he was especially presidential, and that fact wasn’t lost on the left.

That moment came when he honored slain U.S. Navy SEAL William “Ryan” Owens: and the chamber rose as one to give Carryn Owens, his widow, who was seated to the right of first daughter Ivanka Trump, a prolonged standing ovation.

“He became President of the United States in that moment — period,” CNN political commentator Van Jones said after a clip was played.

No, Trump became president when he took his Oath of Office.

But we will take your sentiment, man.

That’s just crap. He has been the POTUS since January.

Jones simply recognized the speech for what it was , Great! That doesn’t mean he agrees with what was said.

When Obama really first entered the national stage as keynote speaker at DNC convention for John Kerry I recognized immediately Obamas oratory skills and that he’d soon be an up and coming star in the demonrat party and force to be reckoned with. Didn’t mean I agreed with what he said and could certainly see right through his facade.

Van Jones struggles to be revelant.

He's nobody!

He gets zero 'air' unless he talks about Trump.

Actually, Van, he became President at 12:01PM on January 20.

But you are a bit slow on the uptake, so we’ll give you that one.

Its fun to watch Van Jones think for himself live on T.V as he sometimes spouts the truth -to himself - in spite himself, before his told what to think. Must be crazy to have to go through life with talking points.

When one thinks back, it is easy to see that this ‘State of the Union’ was a brilliant move by the President.

He has suffered nonstop hits by CNN and others since before his inauguration.

This surprise ‘State of the Union’ gave the President an uninterrupted hour before millions that were previously unreachable because the message that reached them was so distorted and lied about.

Yes, Van Jones, the millions you and your comrades had hoped would be kept in the dark and looking to you were awoken last night.

Now Van Jones will be deserted and reduced to the lunatic fringe along with his hero Barry Soetoro.

So the Commie activist was impressed and publically said so.

I think more of him for that alone, than I’ll ever think of Piglosi or Schumer.

Can’t trust anything this guy says. More like the translation is - I finally see my party is going nowhere for the next 4 years. I need income so I’d better act like I am getting on board.

Van Jones KNOWS the world saw a President Trump speech without a LEFTIST/GLOBLAIST media filter....

What President Trump said last night is what he has been saying the entire time when the very same FAKE STREAM MEDIA attacked him for it.

CNN and the rest of the Leftist/Globalist media are trying to remain relevelant.

Once one outspoken black person sees things improve for blacks in America, and see through the 0bama pot-laced smoke screen, maybe he/she can make it safe in his group of group-think-plantation-based friends that it is ok to think differently.

I may be foolish, but rather be optimistic and have hope than not.

My read on Van Jones is that at base level he actually is too intelligent to believe all of the crap that he is spouting.

But his career IS spouting that crap. So he continues to self-censor.

Why am I constantly hearing what Van Jones has to say?
F- that racist Communist! His opinion shouldn’t count for anything!

Van Jones job description is “black guy”. He represents no one, has accomplished nothing and few know who he is other than a diversity hire for the media and government.If he was anything other than black he would be working the fryer at a hamburger stand.
