Van Jones: ‘Biden Is Doing Great, Just Erase the Past Six Months’

CNN's Van Jones: Joe Biden's Presidency Has Been Great If You Just Remove All the 'Nutty' Stuff (townhall.com)  "

We may disagree with most of what Van Jones says. That’s a given, but the man is more intelligent than this. What the hell was he thinking regarding these remarks about Joe Biden and his presidency? No one asked him to use the defibrillator pads. This presidency is dead. The time of death dates back to that bungled and humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan a year ago. It’s been downhill since the fall of Kabul. We’ve been dealing with COVID variants, which Biden said he’d lock down if elected. He didn’t. We have high inflation, volatile gas prices, the supply chain crisis, the baby formula circus, and an
immigration catastrophe. To top it all off, we’re in an economic recession. So, I get the Manchin-Schumer deal was a brief glint of good news. The package hikes taxes during a recession, but it’s the last stab for congressional Democrats to get a legislative win before the midterms. The problem is this bill comes way too late. The fate of the House is sealed; the GOP will retake it. The Senate could also swing back towards GOP control. Also, this new spending bill could collapse since Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) could torpedo the deal. It’s why it’s somewhat baffling that Jones said Biden’s presidency has been successful, but only if you remove the past six months of craziness (via Fox News):  . . .

 CNN political commentator Van Jones said President Joe Biden was doing a great job if you ignored “the past six months of nutty stuff.”

While discussing the Democrats’ $670 billion bill, anchor Jim Sciutto said:

“Let’s begin with this budget bill."

"There are still more hurdles, but the biggest hurdle was Joe Manchin, and until yesterday, nobody was talking about this deal being resurrected."

" 'It’s not all there, but it has pieces of the original Biden agenda. How important a move, how important a victory the Biden administration?”. . .
