Van Jones on Trump Blocking Dem Memo: ‘Moving to One Party State’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

JONES: "First of all, a short lie requires a long rebuttal. The problem you have is the first memo should have never come out in the first place, it had all kinds of innuendo. It created a suspense of unease and suspicion in the FBI. It was a couple of pages. A lot of damage in a couple of pages. The idea that you want to respond and now you can't. You are moving into the direction of one party state. And that is the problem. One party rule in Washington DC. Even though the minority had certain rights and certain privileges, tomorrow you might be in the minority. This sense of back and forth. That is now flushed in the toilet. And what is now out there, some of the worst allegations of the FBI. Stuff put out there over the objection of our national security. I am not one of these persons who runs around with my hair on fire every day about every tweet or whatever. I don't have the emotional fortitude to be in this every day."
COOPER: "By the way, your hair burned off a long time ago."
JONES: "You are right. I am upset. This is a clear abuse. How long is that going to take? And sure, you are trying to protect sources and methods but weren't concerned about sources and methods last week. Not only are you cherry picking the data, you are cherry picking concerns."
