Van Jones Interviewed Jared Kushner, And #Resisters Are FURIOUS

Van Jones just interviewed Jared Kushner.

They talked about prison reform:

Does President Trump care about prison reform?

Jared Kushner: “He’s actually spent a lot of time on the issue…the President’s tough. He can be tough on crime. He’s tough on a lot of things. But he also has a lot of compassion that not a lot of people get to see" #CITIZENCNN pic.twitter.com/cpBVkryTDo

“There was one issue that was very close to my heart because I had a personal experience, which was prison reform,” Kushner said at CNN’s inaugural Citizen Conference.

The Saudis:

CNN's Van Jones: “Do you trust the Saudis to investigate themselves?”

Jared Kushner: “We’re getting facts in from multiple places. Once those facts come in, the Secretary of State will work with our national security team to help us determine what we want to believe” #CITIZENCNN pic.twitter.com/JW8MDkHl3J

Jones: “Are you having fun?"

Kushner: “I wouldn’t say fun … I’d say more invigorated by it. I think that it's obviously the challenge of a lifetime” #CITIZENCNN https://t.co/BNhvJfv4sp pic.twitter.com/lmbJmKEdcH

But there was ONE remark that ticked a bunch of people off.

Van Jones interview Kushner at "Citizen by CNN" event starting now. Jones asks, "How did you get this job? You have like the dopest job in the world, the secretary of everything…how did you wind up in this position?"

Kushner: "I did not plan my life to go into politics…my father in law announced he was running for president…I took on a lot of responsibilities."

People are NOT happy with Van Jones’ choice of words. He’s now trending.

He might have been joking but he could chosen better language than that. There are many other ways of bring sarcastic yet taken seriously.

@VanJones68 is slowly turning into a revised FOX news commentator! CNN is FOX NEWS 2.0! I stopped tuning in months ago! I’ll stick with CSPAN & MSNBC!

Amazing how irrelevant Van Jones has managed to make himself at such a critical time.
