Thousands of radical progressives are taking to the streets in major cities across the U.S., protesting the war against Iran. CNN’s Van Jones dropped a ‘truth bomb’ on them Thursday, warning that they have no idea what they’re doing.
From Breitbart: On Thursday’s “CNN NewsNight,” CNN Senior Political Commentator and former Obama Adviser Van Jones said that people on the left haven’t “thought seriously enough about what if Iran does get the bomb” and while he isn’t sure what the U.S. should do, “I would like to see progressives take more seriously the threat here of the bomb.”
Jones stated, “I don’t think people on the left have thought seriously enough about what if Iran does get the bomb? That’s a different world than most of us have thought about as progressives. In other words, Iran, they say death to America, death to Israel, death to all the Jews. One of those should offend you, at least one should offend you. And their treatment of women and gays is horrific. And if they get a bomb, they are active. North Korea, they’ve got a bomb. But they kind of just sit around and fire stuff into the ocean and do weird stuff. Iran is actively destabilizing Africa, Boko Haram, etc.”
He continued, “So, I don’t know what to do, but I would like to see progressives take more seriously the threat here of the bomb. I don’t know if Trump should be dropping bunker busters or what he should be doing, but progressives should be taking this a lot more seriously.”

Jones’ warning came after a huge group of progressives marched through the streets of New York, protesting against the war on Iran.

Jones shared a similar warning in October of last year. He said there are only 15 million Jewish people left on earth, with half of them in Israel, and said they must be protected.
“I don’t think people understand that Iran is a much bigger threat than just to Israel…. they are destabilizing the world with their jihadist agenda,” Jones warned.
“It’s not just about Gaza, it’s about jihadist terror against western civilization,” he added.
