Van Jones concedes that the ‘Schumer Shutdown’ Will BACKFIRE ON Democrats

CNN’s Van Jones can’t hide his disappointment as he concedes that the “Schumer Shutdown” over healthcare will inevitably BACKFIRE on the Democrats.

This was a dumb strategic move, and Van Jones knows it.

“I’m gonna maybe piss off some of my Democratic friends, but I think you can always trust our party to do the wrong thing at the wrong time for the right reason.”

“If they [passed the CR], guess what would happen this month? Premiums would start going through the roof this month. By the time you get to the end of November, you would have Americans marching in the streets saying, ‘I can’t pay 150% more for my insurance premiums. What the heck is going on?’”

“Instead, we decided not to let that happen and shut the entire government down. So now people are going to be mad about the post office and 100 other things that Republicans can then BLAME ON US.”

“The base wants us to do something… But the something probably shouldn’t be throwing a bunch of people out of work in the federal government and crushing America’s government’s ability to function right before the pain was about to start.”
