Jones: Trump’s ‘Coup’ Attempt Will Be ‘Biggest Prosecution in the History of Our Country’

CNN political commentator Van Jones said Tuesday during the network’s special coverage of the indictment of former President Trump that the indictment describes a “coup” attempt, which means it will be “the biggest prosecution in the history of the country.”

Jones said, “I feel kind of sick. I feel all day I had this giddy feeling that, he’s not going to be indicted. When it actually happened, I remember sitting here with January 6th and watching the violence, watching what was going on and being shocked and appalled. If you had told me it would take two and a half years before we as a country said that’s not good, President Trump, that’s not good. I mean, if you ask a fifth grade class can you cheat to get your way? A fifth grade class can say you can’t. Well, the federal government just told Donald Trump you can’t do that. It’s just that simple. You are a fraud, sir, and you can’t do that. You lied, you can’t do that. You tried to cheat, you can’t do that. I think normal Americans can understand this and will understand the gravity of what just happened.”

He continued, “There is actual harm to our country if this type of thing becomes normal.”

Jones added, “If you look at this indictment, this is describing a coup attempt in our country. And, so, this is the 100 years from now that everybody is going to know about and look at. And if he gets away with it in our court system, shame on us. But this is the biggest, to your point, it’s probably the biggest prosecution in the history of the country.”

Fact check: there was no “insurrection” or “coup attempt” on January 6, 2021.

Asserting That All Whites Have a Racism “Virus” in Their Psychological Makeup

On May 31, 2020, Jones angrily condemned Amy Cooper, a white liberal woman who had recently used her cell phone to call the New York City Police Department and falsely claim that a black man who had asked her to leash her dog in Central Park, was actually threatening her life. Said Jones:

“It’s not the racist white person who is in the Ku Klux Klan that we have to worry about. It’s the white liberal Hillary Clinton supporter walking her dog in Central Park who would tell you right now, you know, people like that – ‘oh, I don’t see race, race is no big deal to me, I see us all as the same, I give to charities.’  But the minute she sees a black man who she does not respect or who she has a slight thought against, she weaponized race like she had been trained by the Aryan Nation. A Klan member could not have been better trained to pick up the phone and tell the police, ‘It’s a black man, African-American man, come get him.’  So even the most liberal, well-intentioned white person has a virus in his or her brain that can be activated at an instant.”
