Van Jones has given us plenty of reasons to call him out over the years, but we’ve got to give him props for being consistent when it comes to criminal justice reform. And at CPAC today, he gave props to conservatives for their work on a cause that’s so important to him:
VAN JONES to CPAC: "Here's the deal — the conservative movement in this country… is now the leader on this issue of [criminal justice] reform… take some dadgum credit for being smart. Take some dadgum credit for getting it right." #yikes pic.twitter.com/GUuufkCSBe

Well here’s a sellout. Really, this is sad. And his argument? How many Dems vs Reps votes for criminal justice reform. I think we need to agree you go to CPAC you don’t get to claim any progressive or liberal cred

@VanJones68 is losing his dadgum mind. C'mon dude, don't forget which side of history you want to be on.

I know he's going through a divorce. My guess is that he's got big bills to pay – lots of child support. From woke to nope.

Don’t worry … there’s plenty more where that came from.
