Long before Election Day, CNN commentator Van Jones was saying he was far more worried about what would happen on November 9th than he was about what would happen on November 8th, regardless of who won the presidency. With that in mind, he is set to host a special on CNN this week called The Messy Truth, for which he spoke to Donald Trump supporters in Ohio in an attempt to reach some sort of common ground.
Jones has been on a roll since the election, first speaking out passionately that night against the “whitelash” that he said had just occurred in America.
Since then, he has found ways to speak less emotionally about Trump, telling The View last week that while the president-elect may deserve a “chance,” he should never “get a pass.”
But that didn’t stop him from opening his interview with Trevor Noah on Monday’s Daily Show by saying, “Welcome to hell.” When Noah pushed back, saying this felt more like “the beginning of a ride” than hell, Jones said, “Well, for you it is a ratings bonanza, but for the rest of us, we’re going to be suffering.”
