Van Jones gets emotional because of Trump's lead on election night, says American dreamers are going to bed with a nightmare
CNN's Van Jones lamented the possibility of a Trump victory, saying that many Americans dreaming of how a Harris presidency would affirm their identities are now confronting the implications of Trump's return to power.
Media outlets that spent much of 2024 sounding the alarm that former President Trump is a threat to democracy didn't take it particularly well when it began to look like he would win on election night.
Fox News projects Trump will become the 47th President of the United States, despite years of unflattering coverage from legacy media outlets.
In the face of this dawning reality, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow suggested that Trump would make national abortion banned by executive order, while her colleague Alex Wagner grappled with the reality that MAGA is a real movement with "legs."
CBS' Gayle King fretted over Trump's unchecked command, saying it "seems like he will be in power with no guard rails."
MSNBC's Joy Reid declared, "Nobody wants Donald Trump more to be president than [Israeli Prime Minister] Bibi Netanyahu, who is backed by a far-right coalition that would like to clear-cut Gaza… a complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza."
DONALD TRUMP ELECTED AS THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

Liberal pundits and journalists began to sweat in the 10 p.m. ET hour, after Iowa was called for Trump, as many talking heads had taken the shocking data from pollster J. Ann Selzer over the weekend that claimed Vice President Kamala Harris had a lead in the state as gospel.
"This is beginning to sound like a postmortem," Lester Holt said on NBC.
MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace asked what kind of information young men were looking at to assume the economy would improve under Trump. Liberal website BuzzFeed shared an all-blue map with the caption, "We ran 80,000 simulations. Trump was a lil b---h in all of them."
MSNBC analyst Molly Jong-Fast deleted an X post from earlier in the night that predicted "Harris is going to win." She later posted, "I'm gonna throw up," on Instagram.
As Pennsylvania began looking like it would favor Trump, NBC panelists nitpicked Harris for spending too much time campaigning in the state when she could have chosen popular Governor Josh Shapiro as her running mate.

As midnight approached on the East Coast, MSNBC's Jen Psaki appeared on NBC and suggested questions about whether President Biden was a better candidate than Harris would soon be "part of the discussion."
"If you're on the campaign right now, you're feeling pretty down," said Psaki, who served as Biden's first press secretary.
CNN's John King pointed out that Trump was dominating Waukesha County in Wisconsin and said, "This is a place, the Harris campaign was hoping, 'Hey women, you don't have to tell your husband who you're going to vote for.'"
On MSNBC, Reid essentially blamed White women for Harris' North Carolina loss.
"Black voters came through for Kamala Harris, White women voters did not. That is what appears happened in that state," Reid told viewers.
"This will be the second opportunity that White women in this country have had to change the way that they interact with the patriarchy," she continued. "If people aren't receptive to it, and if people vote more party line, or more on race than on gender, and on protecting their gender, there's really not much more that you can do."
Far-left pundit Elie Mystal agreed and posted, "Black people did their job. Trump's gains with Latinos were real. Trump is their guy. The end."
Liberal blogger Aaron Rupar essentially declared Americans to be racists.
"If Trump wins, there will be efforts to blame Russian interference or the Harris campaign or Biden, etc. That's all fair. But we need to be clear eyed that a huge swath of America likes what Trump is selling. Transphobia. Mass deportation. That's what he ran on. And here we are," Rupar wrote on X.
Shortly before 1 a.m. ET, CNN's Tapper declared that anyone would rather be in Trump's position than Harris' as Georgia was called for the former president.
"If she doesn't win Pennsylvania, it's over," CNN's Dana Bash said.
CNN then aired Harris campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond announcing that Harris wouldn't speak to supporters on election night. It mirrored 2016, when Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta spoke briefly in front of a somber crowd before announcing she wouldn't show.
"That is not the sound of a big crowd, that is not a celebratory mood," CNN's Audie Cornish said before Bash compared it to Clinton's infamous Javits Center event of 2016.
Tapper appeared somber and said he had to "admit" that the Harris campaign took a major risk by attempting to appeal to "secret" voters.
NBC's Chuck Todd called out Democrats for a "total misread" of Latino voters by using terms like "Latinx."
CNN's Van Jones got emotional thinking about people who were "hurting" because of the results.
"I'm thinking about the people who are not a part of anybody's elite who are hurting tonight. There are African-American women who know a little bit about being talked down to, who know a little bit about having their economic dreams crushed, who try to dream a big dream over the past couple of months, and tonight they're trading in a lot of hope for a lot of hurt," Jones said.
"They were hoping that maybe, this time, this time, one of their own could be seen as worthy," Jones continued. "Once again they're facing rejection."
Jones then told CNN viewers that Black women aren't the only people "hurting."
"If you're a parent of a trans kid, your child's face was used as a springboard to power for somebody. That doesn't feel good," Jones said.
On PBS, Jonathan Capehart said he was "mystified" that Trump gained support from 2020.
"Who are we as a country? I'm not sure I like it," Capehart said. He later added, "I can't help but wonder if the American people have given up on democracy."
"The View" co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said on CNN Harris was hurt by Biden's "unpopularity," but the vice president was respectful by choosing not to throw her boss "under the bus."
Liberal pundits realized there was no path to victory for Harris once Pennsylvania was called for Trump in the 1 a.m. ET hour. Shortly, Trump addressed supporters.
"He will effectively be a one-term president," Lester Holt told NBC viewers.
Indeed, Trump will never be a candidate for president again, but he's made perhaps the most astonishing political comeback in American history.

Fainting couch and pearl stocks are through the roof................./s
We saw the same thing in 2016. And just like in 2016 the media lost their minds with their vloggers crying on camera, celebrities claiming they were leaving the country (not following through of course).
What really made me laugh are the fictitious claims of "racism" winning the election. Because one person is sooooo racist that every demographic came out and supported and voted for him.
Apparently the loss was such a blow to Harris that she left her supporters hanging and left before addressing them.
Ala 2016 and the previous anointed one
Isn't it funny how that works out for them?
“Apparently the loss was such a blow to Harris that she left her supporters hanging and left before addressing them.”
Clinton did the same thing in ‘16. That is so damn disrespectful towards people that support her.
She like Clinton drank to much and had to be slobbed off to bed.
That could be why her campaign in 2020 was labeled a chaotic disaster, and why she has had such high staff turnover her entire career.
I had heard rumors about that.
We may have found a solution to the drought.
Morning...so the next big question..
How did the pollsters get it so wrong??
I am always amused how you mob segregate it all out..whites vote this, Hispanics that, black Americans this, Mexicans that...even down to age brackets and where they live..
Kept trying to tell you.. people lie..no way in hell would I tell anyone who I vote for it is simply not done here..and this is the reason why..they got it oh so very wrong...
So I would assume alot of pollsters may now be joining the ranks of the unemployed..
It looks like Trump broadened the base. Now just say working class voters of all stripes.
Not as good as the 2016 media meltdown but still entertaining
I think they were more prepared for it this time.
I bought PreparationH futures a couple months ago.
Made a killing.
Cookies for everyone.
Everyone.
The election was rigged.
Had to be. The second chosen one lost.
"The election was rigged."
Why is that? Because the will of the people spoke and did not choose the liberal leftist anointed one?
It is kind of funny that the unhinged reactions from the media are echoed here on NT.
Agreed.
Yep, Kimmel's crocodile tears were truly a sight to behold!/s
It's called having feelings, being woke, having empathy for others.
More like playing to a select audience group that his producers tell him to for the almighty ratings.
Kimmels best work was done on The Man Show. It’s been all downhill since for that tool.
Woke was rejected by more than half of the American people.
One of the reasons Trump will be your president in a little over 2 months.,
It's almost as if they all received the same memo at the same time.
It wasn't MORE THAN HALF of the American people, no matter how many times you say it.
That pos is not my 'president'
No, feelings, having empathy for others, something the maga do not possess.
Exactly, take solace where you can find it.
OK. More than half of Americans that voted.
He is if you are an American.
No way of getting around it.
I never remember anyone from the left pointing that out when talking about Biden or Obama's wins. Sure it's just a coincidence.
Still wrong.
Nope.
As of this moment, Trump holds a 50.8 percent vote count to Harris' 47.5 percent. That equates to more than half of the votes.
Denying it does not mean it is not true
Have always been right when dueling with you.....
He will be soon
[✘]
You got that right. Remember when he used to do those tractor commercials? Now those were hilarious.
Lol ….. ziggy zaggy ziggy zaggy hoy hoy hoy ……
It was delivered as the announcement that Trump won the election.
It's a childish tantrum.
Been doing the same since Newsvine days. Hasn't changed.
SOP for the leftist liberal Hollywood elites. It get's them ratings.
Apparently so does being in association with Weinstein and Diddy.
Damn I haven't looked at them yet. It will make for great viewing tonight
"... spending too much time campaigning in the state when she could have chosen popular Governor Josh Shapiro..."
She came to Pennsylvania, with much fanfare, to introduce her VP choice - some guy from Minnesota. Utterly tone-deaf.
Yep, and the guy from Minnesota had way too much baggage to justify as a reliable VP candidate.
What baggage???????????????
So you believe the lies told about his honorable service?
A read of his record as Governor of Minnesota is more than sufficient.
Some of what you claim were lies were in fact true and not all his service can be considered totally honorable. I have friends that were in the Minnesota Guard at the time and some knew him and some served with him and agree that he did in fact wuss out on a combat deployment and let his troops down and hanging. He did not in fact hold the rank he stated upon his retirement. Those folks were there and I will take their word as gospel over anything you can say.
No. It's a lie to say anything other than he served honorably. I don't believe the lies others on here have stated. Not true. All lies.
Your anecdote makes no difference. It doesn't matter what your friends claimed either. It's not true.
Not a single fucking word of it is true no matter what you claim your buddies claimed.
[✘]
"Honorable service"? That's one of the many lies that you all lapped right up.
When you look at his actual record, it wasn't honorable by any means.
Honorable Service is nothing more than not breaking any big rules. As long as you don't stab the commander's baby - you're in the club. Don't read too much credibility from the phrase.
You mean like claiming you are a specific rank when in reality you are actually a subordinate rank?
A clear UCMJ violation. Punishable by loss of rank, other than honorable discharge and/or loss of all Veteran benefits and privileges.
Serious stuff indeed
Well it stands to reason. He’s two for two on beating chosen ones. Some would say three for three.
