Van Jones on Brittney Griner: 'Young people 10, 20, 30 years from now … will remember this moment'

You can probably tell from the headline where this post is headed. Van Jones told CNN Thursday that Brittney Griner is an “icon” and that President Joe Biden announcing her freedom will be a moment kids will remember 30 years from now. Sure, a lot of people are dismissing Griner as a basketball player … which she is … but she’s so much more than that and certainly worth sending an arms dealer back to Russia.

Superstar reporter Julio Rosas reports for Twitchy parent site Townhall:

“This is huge. First of all, that’s a decade-defining image when you saw her wife sitting there, Kamala Harris was there, president is there, such a human image and yet it just shows this president got it done. He cared enough about this individual person to get her home,” Jones said.

“It was shocking. I think for young Americans to see an icon like that snatched, locked up, treated like garbage and just nine years, ten years for bringing some cannabis oil,” he continued. “So these are decade-defining images. I guarantee you there will be young people 10, 20, 30 years from now who will remember this moment because she is an icon. It’s really, really extraordinary. And people are talking about this other guy, he’s so terrible. There’s a lot of terrible people in the world, a lot of terrible in Russia. You can’t allow a black female icon to be treated like garbage and the U.S. to do nothing about it.”

“And people are talking about this other guy, he’s so terrible.” Actually, he’s not so terrible, we’re learning. He was the victim of a U.S. sting operation.

But Griner … she’s an icon, and Biden standing at the podium with her wife is “a decade-defining image.”

Jones may be right. It’s been years, but this editor still can picture President Barack Obama in the Rose Garden with Beau Bergdahl’s parents, and not in a good way.
