Former Obama adviser Van Jones accused Democrats of a series of unreasonable errors that led to their political defeat by Republicans.
Former Obama adviser Van Jones previously praised Harris' campaign as “about freedom” and “realigning” the Democratic Party. But now that she and Democrats have suffered a series of defeats, his approach changed at Wednesday's Dealbook Summit.
“There's a calculation within the Democratic Party,” Jones said. “Kamala Harris promised us freedom…well, she promised us freedom, because we would be freed from having to run something in Washington, D.C.” That's not what we signed up for, that's what we got.”
He then spoke with Republicans, arguing that Republicans and Democrats have vastly different approaches to dissidents.
Van Jones joked that Vice President Harris had succeeded in winning Democrats freedom from responsibility for running the federal government. (Deal Book)
