Van Jones: James O’Keefe Is a Hoaxster, a Fraudster, and a Scumbag

EXCERPT:

JONES: “I was standing outside the bureau in Los Angeles. I’ll talk to anyone, I don’t care if it's a janitor, a homeless person, police officer, pop star, I'll talk to anybody. So a guy comes up and he starts engaging in a conversation. I’ll talk to anybody. And he starts asking these questions around what’s going on in American politics. As you know, I have been beating the drum about Progressives going too far over board on Russia. The news industry should be going in on Russia, because any time you have the president of the United States under investigation by the FBI, that is a news story. But Progressives have to be very careful that we don’t put all of our eggs in that basket because the chances of this cowardly Republican Party actually impeaching and then removing a president, something that has never happened, I think it’s very, very slight. So I was about to go into that, say there’s nothing you can do, and then a bunch of my guys from CNN came out and we started talking. So he took that little bitty thing and made it seem like I was out here saying that there’s nothing wrong with what Donald Trump has been doing. This guy is a hoaxster, he's a fraudster, he’s been convicted, he's paid fines and had to apologize, he's a scumbag and he does this stuff all the time.”
