Van Jones on Democrats’ Sweep: It’s ‘Buyer’s Remorse’ Against Trump

‘Donald Trump said he was going to do something about grocery prices’

EXCERPT:

JONES: "Here‘s what I‘ll say. I‘m a lot happier than you are sad.  You‘re angry. I‘m happy. You know why? Buyer‘s remorse from independents. Independents gave Donald Trump a shot. Buyer‘s remorse. The Latin community gave him a shot. You see buyer‘s remorse. Black men gave Trump a shot. They've come back home. Buyer‘s remorse. Why? Because people are sick of the status quo. That‘s why they voted for Trump the first time. That‘s why they voted him out the second time. That‘s why they voted him back in. People want change. And Donald Trump said he was going to do something about grocery prices. He‘s done everything, but. He‘s putting in gold toilets in the White House he‘s tearing up. He‘s gallivanting around the world. And you‘re seeing buyer‘s remorse in places where you would — Republicans have some hope. This thing is starting to settle out now. This is about basic needs that people have and basic rights people expect. That‘s what seems to be under fire from this administration. And if they think they can spin and talk and spin and talk, and nobody‘s going to notice that, they just got proven wrong tonight. People‘s basic needs are not being met.”
