CNN’s Van Jones Panics: ‘Scary’ Kamala Still ‘Tied’ with Trump Despite ‘Positive Press’

Leftist CNN correspondent Van Jones voiced concerns that Kamala Harris has not managed to pull ahead of Donald Trump in polls, despite a friendly press pushing positive propaganda for her non-stop over the past two weeks.
Providing a glimpse into Democrat anxiety over the tight race, Jones, who previously served as an advisor to Barack Obama, said he was hopeful this week’s Democratic National Convention would give Harris a bump in polls, as she’s currently neck-and-neck with Trump.
“This is the big opportunity to go from a tied race to push our numbers up 1 point, 2 points, maybe 3 points,” Jones said following Day 1 of the DNC.
“We come out of this convention with a major bounce, that puts us in the best possible position after Labor Day. We don’t want to be tied,” Jones said, adding Harris should be further ahead due to positive coverage.
“I don’t like being tied with Donald Trump, because we’ve had now 20-plus days of positive press,” he said.
“He’s been falling down the stairs, slipping on banana peels and poking himself in the eyeballs,” Jones claimed. “We should not be tied. We want to pull ahead.”
Jones went on to agree with CNN political commentator and former Trump campaign adviser David Urban, who remarked it’s surprising Kamala’s tied with Trump, considering she’s been running a “flawless” campaign.
“They’re doing the best they can, and it’s tied, that’s really important,” Urban said, prompting Jones to add, “That’s scary.”
Former Obama adviser David Axelrod expressed similar concerns during a panel discussion Monday night, telling a CNN panel, “If the election were today, I’m not sure who would win, and I think it may well be President Trump…”
?PANIC: @davidaxelrod admits on @CNN that if the election were held today Trump would likely win.

Indeed, a bump in polls would help keep up Harris’ momentum, and the fact that it has not yet manifested should be a worrying sign for Dems.
Add to that the fact that RFK Jr’s running mate Nicole Shanahan on Tuesday suggested their campaign might consider backing Trump to prevent a Kamala presidency, and Democrats should be in total panic of another stinging defeat.
Major Escalation! Russia Summons US Ambassador Over American Mercenaries Fighting With Ukraine

The Russian Foreign Ministry announced on Tuesday that it called for a meeting with Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy, Stephanie Holmes, after an American private military company allegedly took part in the recent Ukrainian incursion into Russia’s Kursk Region.

According to Russia Today, “The diplomat was issued a demarche over the involvement of an American private military company (PMC) in Kiev’s incursion into Kursk Region and the ‘provocative actions’ of American journalists who illegally entered Russian territory to cover the cross-border attack.”
The Russian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday suggested American soldiers participating in the incursion “contradicts” Biden administration claims that the U.S. has not been involved in “attacks by Ukrainian neo-Nazis on Russia.”
The American private military company (PMC), or the Forward Observation Group, posted images of their fighters in Kursk wearing blue armbands worn by Ukrainian troops fighting against Russia.
Additionally, the Kremlin voiced concerns about American journalists entering Russian soil during Kiev’s Kursk operation, claiming they “illegally entered into Kursk Region to provide propaganda coverage of the crimes committed by the Kiev regime.”
Moscow said, “US citizens involved in these crimes will face necessary investigative actions by the competent agencies in accordance with the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation to ensure they are held accountable.”
Any Americans fighting alongside Ukrainian troops inside Russia will be treated as if they’re enemy combatants, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry.
This is the biggest escalation yet. https://t.co/9VGaCaNhSj

Vladimir Putin’s government accusing America of knowingly participating in the boldest incursion into Russia yet is a huge escalation that risks dragging the U.S. into a global war.
Watch: Joe Biden Repeats Debunked Lies & Hoaxes About Trump in DNC Closing Speech
Joe Biden delivered farewell remarks at the DNC on Monday, where he perpetuated at least 6 well-known Democrat hoax talking points about former President Donald Trump.
Biden’s ill-tempered speech delivered late into the night was laden with vitriol and the most common Democrat-manufactured lies about Trump.
Lies from Demented Joe:
— Viva Frei (@thevivafrei) August 20, 2024
1) Fine People lie
2) Suckers and losers lie
3) Nationwide abortion ban lie
4) Bloodbath lie
5) Dictator on Day 1 lie
Goddamn liars is what they are.
(Added 5)
“Very Fine People” Lie
Biden repeated the lie that Trump called neo-Nazis in Charlottesville “very fine people”, a talking point thoroughly debunked even by leftist outlet Snopes.

“Suckers and Losers” Lie
Biden pushed the fake news that Trump called U.S. servicemen who had fallen in France during WWII “suckers and losers,” a claim pushed by Trump’s disgruntled former Chief of Staff John Kelly in The Atlantic.
Biden repeated debunked hoax after debunked hoax:

-very fine people
-suckers and losers
-bloodbath
-project 2025
Joe’s speech, and the convention as a whole, was nothing but shameless lie after shameless lie.
All they have is gaslighting and hateful anti-Trump rhetoric. pic.twitter.com/yTQrKcgUbC
“Bloodbath” Lie
Biden also pushed the false claim that Trump once called for a violent “bloodbath” in America, when in fact Trump was speaking about the dying auto industry.
“He’s promising a bloodbath! If he loses, in his words,” Biden yelled.

“Fewer Border Crossings Than Trump” Lie
Biden also falsely claimed that illegal border crossings under his watch were lower than when Trump was in office.
“Then I had to take executive action. The result of the executive action I took, border encounters have dropped over 50%. In fact, there are fewer border crossings today than when Donald Trump left office,” Biden falsely claimed.

What could go down as the most outrageous lie that the president told was related to the border, and the surge in illegal crossings under the Biden Administration.

“Nationwide Abortion Ban” Lie
Biden, struggling to read the teleprompter, also falsely suggested Trump banned abortion nationwide, when in fact the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, which kicked abortion laws back to the states.
No Laughing Matter

Here’s President Joe Biden having an episode of confusion and evidence of cognitive decline in front of the whole DNC – and all they do is laugh:

“Dictator Day 1” Lie
Invoking Jan. 6, Biden also falsely claimed Trump proclaimed he wants to be a dictator.
Dark Brandon makes a return as Biden claims we “almost lost everything” on J6, insists Trump will refuse to accept the results of the upcoming election “if he loses again,” claims Trump promises “a BLOODBATH if he loses,” and “that he’ll be a dictator…this sucker means it!”… pic.twitter.com/S5tmktjFnV

In reality, Trump joked he would only act as a dictator on the first day of his presidency to secure the border and resume oil drilling.
All Biden can do is lie, because he has no real accomplishments to tout given the rampant inflation, collapsed border, and geopolitical turmoil that occurred under his watch.
Watch Biden’s full remarks:
Democrat Governor Calls for Rape & Impregnation of JD Vance — Video

In line with the bizarre theme of the 2024 Democrat National Convention, Democrat Governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, appeared to have called for JD Vance to be raped and forced to become pregnant while on MSNBC’s The Morning Joe Tuesday morning.
“Make him go through this,” Beshear said on The Morning Joe Tuesday, referencing women who have gone through rape and impregnation, women Beshear is defending abortions of.
DISGUSTING: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear wishes for a member of JD Vance’s family to become pregnant due to rape.
— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) August 20, 2024
“Make him go through this.” pic.twitter.com/y9e82YEfHe
The upset politician was referencing Vance’s opposition to abortion, chiefly, that the child born from rape is not guilty of the rape, and therefore should not lose their life as a result.
Beshear made no mention of arming women with guns to defend themselves against rape.
This fascination with death may be explained by the fact that schools have taught children how to kill themselves as well as to murder others.
Some Democrats have voiced support for abortion up to 3-years-old. Abortion is a topic Democrats are very serious about.
The irony is that although it may seem preposterous that JD Vance, a man, could get pregnant, raped or not, Democrats really do believe that men can get pregnant, making Beshear’s statements all the more serious.
Beshear’s statements show that ‘sex and violence’ isn’t just the lyrics of a song from punk band The Exploited.

RFK Jr. Running Mate Nicole Shanahan Suggests Campaign Could Endorse Trump
A Donald Trump endorsement could soon be forthcoming from independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign, running mate Nicole Shanahan has hinted.
In an interview with Tom Bilyeu’s “Impact Theory” podcast released Tuesday, Shanahan said her campaign would be willing to back Trump if it seemed staying in the race could lead to a Kamala Harris presidency.
??RFK JR.’S RUNNING MATE NICOLE SHANAHAN HINTS AT POSSIBLE TRUMP ENDORSEMENT
— Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) August 20, 2024
During a podcast appearance on Tom Bilyeu’s Impact Theory, Shanahan outlined two options: continuing the campaign and risking a split vote that could benefit Kamala, or stepping aside to support Trump.… pic.twitter.com/x24bNr6x63
Shanahan pointed out the fork in the road at which the RFK campaign currently stands; on one hand, they could stay in the race and receive 5% percent of the vote, which would secure millions in funding to prop up the Independent Party.
On the other hand, staying in the race could draw enough votes from Trump to ensure a Kamala-Walz win, which Shanahan deemed a risky proposition.
“So, you know, there’s two options that we’re looking at,” Shanahan told Bilyeu. “And one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump, or we draw somehow more votes from Trump. Or, we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and, you know, we walk away from that and we explain to our base why we’re making this decision.”
“Not easy. Not an easy decision,” she added.
Kennedy was one of the first people to receive a phone call from Trump following the failed attempt on the former president’s life last month.
“All I will say to you is I am willing to talk to anybody from either political party who wants to talk about children’s health and how to end the chronic disease epidemic,” Kennedy said of the call. “I have a lot of respect for President Trump for reaching out to me. Nobody from the DNC, high or low, has ever reached out to me in 18 months. Instead, they have allocated millions to try to disrupt my campaign.”
Days later, RFK held a private meeting with Trump as the RNC kicked off.
Lots of rumors going around about my meeting this morning with President Trump. Our main topic was national unity, and I hope to meet with Democratic leaders about that as well. No, I am not dropping out of the race.
— Robert F. Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) July 15, 2024
While Trump has reportedly floated the possibility of RFK having a prominent role in his second administration, possibly overseeing the Health and Human Services Department, he has not yet dropped out of the 2024 race.
An RFK endorsement would certainly scramble the race for Democrats, boosting Trump’s numbers while the Kamala-Walz campaign has no choice but to flail in desperation.

‘Lock Him Up!’: Hillary Clinton Stirs Up Unhinged DNC Crowd Over Deep State Lawfare Against Trump
Hillary Clinton appeared at Monday night’s Democrat National Convention and inspired the audience to cheer on the legal assault against former President Donald Trump.
Clinton hyped the crowd by bringing up convictions in Trump’s New York “hush money” trial, contrasting his trumped up felony charges with Kamala Harris’ past as a prosecutor.
“As a prosecutor, Kamala locked up murderers and drug traffickers. She will never rest in defense of our freedom and safety,” Clinton said.
“Donald Trump fell asleep at his own trial, and when he woke up, he made his own kind of history — the first person to run for president with 34 felony convictions,” she said.
The talking point prompted the audience to break out in cacophonous out-of-sync chants of “Lock him up!” — a callback to “Lock her up!” chants made popular during Trump’s 2016 campaign referencing Clinton’s long list of crimes.
The chants underscore the lingering bitterness felt by Democrats and Clinton over Trump’s 2016 victory, an emotion primarily fueling their efforts to defeat him in November.
