Van Jones: No Loss of Face on Jimmy Kimmel if He Shows Any Empathy for Trump

‘if I‘m Jimmy Kimmel, I would would go above and beyond the call of duty’

EXCERPT:

JONES: "Yeah, Jimmy Kimmel is in a tough spot because obviously he‘s not going to back down, and I think Disney will stand with him. And by the way, the reason Disney stood with him last time was because people started, you know, canceling their subscriptions. I mean, Disney+ was about to go down. So I don‘t think they‘re going to back away. But I think Jimmy Kimmel has to look in the mirror and say, 'Is there something I can do tonight that can bring some calm to this?' I think it‘s no loss of face on his part if he shows some empathy and some sympathy for this president and his family that are under threat. You don‘t know what‘s going to happen tomorrow. So if I‘m Jimmy Kimmel, I would go above and beyond the call of duty not to curry favor with the White House, but just to see if I could use my platform to calm things down, as he did the last time."
