Van Jones Accused of Flip-Flopping After Blasting Democrats Over Biden’s Mental Fitness on CNN

CNN commentator Van Jones is facing backlash from the left following remarks about Joe Biden’s troubled 2024 presidential bid. During a recent interview with Jake Tapper, Jones endorsed Tapper's controversial book, “Original Sin,” which claims Biden's inner circle concealed his significant cognitive decline. Critics argue that both Tapper and Jones, viewed as too accommodating toward MAGA, are profiting from this so-called cover-up. Jones described the actions of Biden's closest advisors as a “crime against this republic,” asserting it paved the way for Trump’s return. He cautioned that Democrats would suffer politically for this misrepresentation. Meanwhile, Trump supporters seized on the discourse, asserting it validates their claims about Biden's mental state, while some observers acknowledged Jones’ candidness as a rare honest moment in his career.
