Van Jones Applauds Bill Maher's Critique of Kamala Harris

On HBO's Real Time, veteran left-wing political strategist Van Jones praised Bill Maher for criticizing Kamala Harris. Maher humorously criticized Harris's new book, '107 Days,' pointing out her tendency to deflect blame for her failed campaign. Jones was seen clapping and laughing during Maher's critique.

Jones, a CNN host, had previously expressed concerns about the impact of a second Donald Trump term on conservative supporters. Despite voting for Harris, Jones voiced worries about Democratic leaders' decision-making, especially regarding the government shutdown due to the failure to reach a funding bill agreement with Republicans.

During Maher's show, Jones highlighted his conversation with Chuck Schumer about the government shutdown, expressing surprise at Schumer's change in stance. Democrats blamed the shutdown on Trump and the GOP, while Republicans sought Democratic support to pass their bill.

Jones had previously supported Harris as a solution and became emotional during CNN's election coverage when it became evident that Trump would secure a second term. He emphasized the impact on non-elite Americans and expressed disappointment over the election outcome.

Jones also criticized Democrat leaders like Schumer for their handling of the shutdown and expressed concerns about the party's internal conflicts. Despite his long-standing support for Harris, Jones acknowledged the challenges faced by African American women and the disappointment following the election results.

In a social media post, Jones shared his reflections on the election outcome, emphasizing the need to navigate through challenging times. He reiterated his longstanding support for Harris and expressed hope for the future.
