VAN JONES ON DEMS: 'Anti-Semitism Has Gotten Marbled Into This Party' [WATCH]

During Tuesday’s edition of CNN Newsroom, host Jim Acosta spoke with contributor and political analyst Van Jones about Kamala Harris’ selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. In his analysis, Jones acknowledged that “anti-semitism” has been “marbled” into the Democratic Party and that’s why Walz was selected over Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish.

On the one hand, you have a lot of young people who are concerned about Gaza. You have a lot of Muslims and Arabs and others, they have not felt seen by the Biden administration. You started hearing that genocide joke, that was building that was building and so those folks needed to have a candidate that they could feel comfortable with. This helps him in that regard.

But you also have anti-Semitism that has gotten marbled into this party. You can be for the Palestinians without being an anti-Jewish bigot. But there are some anti-Jewish bigots out there and there’s some disquiet now and there has to be. How much of what just happened is caving into some of these darker parts in the party? So that’s going to have to get worked out. It’s going to have to get talked through.

Jones praised Shapiro a little more by saying he has a “magnificent future in this party.”
