Van Jones: Kamala Harris Is Appeasing ‘Anti-Jewish Bigots’ in the Democratic Party by Picking Walz

ACOSTA: “Do you think it was a little risky, though, Van, that she didn’t go with Shapiro to kind of lock down Pennsylvania? I mean, yes, David Chalian was saying earlier, just because you pick him as your running mate doesn’t mean you automatically win Pennsylvania. But I’ve got to think it would have helped just a little bit.”
Jones: “Hey, listen, the conservatives, the right-wing, the Republicans, they were chewing their fingernails down to the knuckle because they were afraid of a Josh Shapiro. They’re afraid of a Mark Kelly. They’re not as afraid of this new governor because they think they can define him. But — so here’s the challenge you’ve got in this party. And, you know, people don’t want to talk about it, we got to talk about it. On the one hand, you have a lot of young people that are concerned about Gaza. You have a lot of Muslims and Arabs and others. They have not felt seen by the Biden Administration. You saw we start hearing that genocide Joe that was building, that was building. And so those folks needed to have a candidate that they could feel comfortable with. This helps them in that regard. But you also have anti-Semitism that has gotten marbled into this party. You can be for the Palestinians without being an anti-Jewish bigot. But there are some anti-Jewish bigots out there. And there’s some disquiet now. And there has to be. How much of what just happened is caving into some of these darker parts in the party? So that’s going to have to get worked out. It’s going to have to get talked through.”
