Van Jones: GOP Governors Are ‘Pimping the Pain of Border Towns and the Migrants for Their Own Purposes and Solving No Problems’

RUSH EXCERPT:

JONES: "Well when the office of resettlement does it, they call ahead and they coordinate and make sure that services are in place and do it in a responsible way. It is not an ambush. It is not tricking and trapping people and then traumatizing then and throwing them out into a bewildering situation with TV cameras. This is a completely different situation when it is done the right way. Now I agree that the people in the border towns are frustrating. I don’t think that we’ve done a good enough job solving the crisis. But what is happening with the GOP governors, their pimping the pain of border towns and the migrants for their own purposes and solving no problem. This is making a point but they’re not solving the problem. I think Biden has an opportunity here. He should call all of the governors in, to the White House, and they should sit down and roll sleeves up and get to work. If DeSantis were serious, he would have contacted the national governor’s association, a bipartisan body and said we have a problem, let’s coordinate to fix it. He did not do that. Instead he engaged in a multi-minutes conspiracy to dough fraud people and put them at risk and I hope the Department of Justice does something about it."
