CNN's Van Jones praises GOP for defending 'Jewish kids' on campuses, claims Dems in 'disarray'

CNN’s Van Jones praised the Republican Party for sticking up for "Jewish kids" on college campuses amid the rash of antisemitism that cropped up after Hamas’ attack on Israel last month.

During his commentary on the third GOP presidential primary debate on Wednesday night, the CNN political contributor remarked that Republicans "forcefully" defended Jewish students while claiming that Democrats found themselves in "disarray" over the issue.

Jones made the comments after complimenting former South Carolina governor and 2024 presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s performance on the debate stage that evening. 

He began, "I thought Nikki Haley gave a masterclass on foreign policy. I thought she gave a masterclass on abortion. If you just took those two clips, you could teach a course on political communication, conversation. She’s a force. She’s a force."

The commentator noted that members of the GOP "came very, very forcefully, saying Jewish kids shouldn’t be scared to leave their dorm rooms in this country."

"I thought that was an important development in the conversation overall," he added.
