Van Jones TORCHED After Making Absurd Claim About Biden: ‘He’d Be On Mount Rushmore’
CNN political contributor Van Jones has reportedly proposed a rather absurd addition to Mt. Rushmore, suggesting the President who banned the July 4th celebrations at the monument in 2021 ,2022, and 2023 should have his face immortalized on the mountainside.
According to Real Clear Investigations Senior Reporter Paul Sperry during coverage of the Fourth 2024 GOP Primary Debate Jones exclaimed that incumbent President Joe Biden is so revered by Democrats for his “accomplishments” that he should be enshrined on the memorial saying, “If Joe Biden were to quit right now, he’d be on Mount Rushmore.”
BREAKING: CNN host Van Jones just now remarked that Biden is so revered by Democrats for his "accomplishments" that they'd like to enshrine him on Mount Rushmore after one term: "If Joe Biden were to quit right now, he'd be on Mount Rushmore."

Former Republican candidate for US Congress Josh Barnett responded incredulously, “What accomplishment? Specifically what, @VanJones68?”
Brent Scher quipped, “Lol @VanJones68 just said Joe Biden would be on the Mount Rushmore of Democratic presidents based on achievements…citing his work on anti-Asian hate In case you were wondering why nobody watches @CNN”

Fascinatingly one user referenced a little-seen report given by Rep. Harriet Hageman on November 29th that Biden is seeking to house thousands of illegal aliens in tent cities in our national parks.
In a video shared by Wall Street Apes, Hageman alerted the House,
“As if Biden’s border crisis isn’t bad enough, this administration is now seeking to convert our National Parks, America’s most cherished natural treasures and historical sites, into tent cities for illegal aliens. Such actions not only debase our national heritage, but blatantly violate numerous federal statutes, including those governing management and protection of our national parks, NEPA and the Administrative Procedure Act.
How bad is this latest move to convert our national parks to ungovernable tent cities? While Wyoming’s effort to prevent catastrophic wildfires destroying our national forests are met with intensive scrutiny from the unelected bureaucrats in this administration, president Biden is categorically exempting the housing of thousands of individuals in our national parks from any type of environmental review.”
Van Jones’ statement would seem to ring hollow with Biden’s approval rate even among Democrats rapidly collapsing. A late November poll from Jones’ own network CNN found that Biden’s approval rating among US Adults is only 37%, the poll among registered voters matched with disapproval at 63%.

According to the outlet, “Fewer than half in most demographic groups now approve of his job performance, including college graduates (48%), Black Americans (47%), Latino Americans (42%), those 45 or older (41%), those younger than 45 (33%), White Americans (33%) and those without college degrees (31%).” His approval has fallen from over 80% among Democrats to 72% and 63% among self-described liberals.
As previously reported by Trending Politics, Jones has been heavily criticized for his stances this year on law enforcement and the Israel-Hamas War and expressed disbelief that Biden is losing support from Black voters who are swinging to support former President Donald Trump.
