Van Jones: Warren ‘Slipped on the Pocahontas Banana Peel Four or Five Different Times’

‘She released her DNA stuff; that made it worse’

EXCERPT:

JONES: "Listen, she’s the most impressive person on the scene right now, because you got to remember, she was written off for dead. She slipped on the Pocahontas banana peel four or five different times, she couldn't figure out a way to shake it off. She released her DNA stuff. That made it worse. People were not talking about Elizabeth Warren six or seven months ago. At yet, she somehow has been able to claw her way back, climb her way back, and people are excited about Elizabeth Warren. Listen, The Rock, no less than The Rock, on the season premiere of Ballers, was reading an Elizabeth Warren book. That gives you a sense of how far she’s broken through into the culture. They were tweeting back and forth. Listen, she is making inroads everywhere, she's not making a bunch of enemies, she's not making mistakes. She’s really, really doing something extraordinary right now."
