Get a load of this from "It's a Blacklash" Van Jones.

_______

CNN political commentator Van Jones said Thursday that young gun-control advocates see the National Rifle Association as an enemy on the level of the Ku Klux Klan.

Referring to the activists fighting for gun control in the wake of mass shootings, Jones said "a whole generation of young people" simply see the NRA as an enemy. "You have a whole generation of young people who essentially see the NRA as their enemy," Jones said. "To them the NRA is like the KKK; it's just some hostile force that is against them, that's risking their lives."

CNN Feb 22, 2018 Transcript with the Jones remark, aired in the middle of the day, 3-3:30 pm segment.

Van Jones is a liar, bigot, and racist.

JONES: OK, there's another country that does it, but most countries don't. But the other thing I have is this. I just don't understand why on this issue we can't come up with anything smart or creative. When Muslims do something and they shoot people, you guys have 1,000 policies. Ban them all, whatever, whatever.

When Mexicans do something, build a wall. Black kids do something, more cops, more prison. These white kids keep doing the same stuff, and it's thoughts and prayers and nothing else smart.

I'm going to tell you right -- African-American kids are not spraying up the whole school. There's something that's happening with a particular demographic of kids. And we're not being smart and aggressive and creative about this particularly alienated demographic of kids.

His point of view is disgraceful, and fits right in with the disgraceful CNN.

A word I have not heard used is ‘bullying’. It’s been a big subject in education.

A question that should have been asked of the students: “Many of you likely know Nikolas Cruz, and from earlier grades. Was he bullied at school?”

When believing everything the children have to say these days, the Counterfeit News Network has jumped the shark! In this instance, I truly believe the child.

On Thursday morning, CNN responded to Haab by flatly denying that the network ever scripts questions at their events,...

Yeah! Just as Kankles! /S

Imagine this question being asked: “Studies have shown that our thinking does not mature until around age 25, on average. That means going from mostly emotional to a balance of emotional and intellectual thinking. Do you believe it wise to base new laws, affecting all Americans, on emotions? Or, would a non-emotional, rational and logical approach be wiser?”

When did CNN ever admit to a lie? Lies are their life blood.
