    Wow. Sounds like it was a slow motion train wreck.

    The audience soon began booing Jones before shouting “no ceasefire,” prompting the former Obama adviser to get a bit flustered as the chants grew louder. While demanding an end to antisemitism and other forms of hate, Jones seemed to accidentally call for an increase in Islamophobia, nervously saying “let’s take a stand against Muslims.”

    “let’s take a stand against Muslims.”

    Oof.

    Why anyone would invite Van Jones to speak on politics or policy is beyond me. He’s the same guy that was sucking up to Trump only to 180 and cry tears of joy when he saw that Biden won. They link the latter to call him “a liberal pundit”, but he’s shown himself to have no real ideology, at least not one that mattered.
