Left wing commentator Van Jones not too long ago appeared on CNN and described the sentiments amongst Democrats over Chuck Schumer voting to maintain the federal government open, saying that he has by no means seen this degree of anger.
In the event you watch the clip under, you might discover two issues. Van Jones is completely delusional about what Republicans within the Senate have been capable of do once they have been out of energy underneath Obama. He appears to suppose they acquired all types of concessions due to the talents of Mitch McConnell. In actuality, Obama informed the GOP “I received.”
