Angela Rye confronts Van Jones over Trump’s speech: ‘I definitely don’t think that this is presidential’ (Raw Story)

CNN commentators Van Jones and Angela Rye sparred on Wednesday over President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress.

“I don’t think it’s presidential,” Rye said. “It could be I don’t understand the standard that we’re using. If by presidential you’re talking about a leader on a world stage, one that Americans can be, everywhere, hopeful about, then I think the answer is a resounding no.”

She added that Trump “took 61 minutes to tell 51 lies.”
