The mainstream media usually pushes the Left’s agenda. But sometimes the truth breaks through.
And now CNN is in hot water after exposing the Democrat Party’s Achilles’ heel.
Here’s the revised version with three sections and appropriate headers:
Van Jones Admits: “We’re Screwed”
CNN commentator Van Jones didn’t hold back on Sunday, delivering a blunt assessment of the Democratic Party’s ongoing dysfunction. According to Jones, unless Democrats can find a way to regroup and rethink their messaging, they’ll remain stuck in neutral—struggling to connect with voters and failing to achieve any meaningful policy goals.
Appearing on CNN Newsroom Sunday with anchor Jessica Dean, Jones was asked to weigh in on the state of the Democratic Party—especially after the embarrassing outbursts during and after President Donald Trump’s powerful address to a joint session of Congress.
At first, Jones tried to avoid the topic altogether. “Can we ask another question?” he deflected. “Can we talk about Ukraine or something?”
But when pressed, Jones didn’t sugarcoat the reality Democrats are facing.
“Look, man, we’re screwed,” Jones admitted. “I mean, we don’t know—Democrats don’t know what to do. This is—this is a nightmare. You know, somebody like Donald Trump, we thought we’d at least have Hakeem Jeffries in the Speaker’s chair to hold him back if we didn’t have Kamala in there to do the right thing.”
It’s a stunning admission from a party insider. After years of attacking Trump and doubling down on identity politics, Democrats are left floundering without a clear strategy—or a leader strong enough to challenge the President’s America-first agenda.
A Failing Message and Alienated Voters
Jones pointed to the party’s failed messaging as a key reason for their continued downward spiral, suggesting they are still paying the price for their disastrous 2024 campaign.
“Listen, the Democratic Party is going through a massive set of internal crises. You have a party that got trapped two ways. One, defending a broken status quo that nobody likes because they thought that Donald Trump was going to make it worse. But when you’re defending the status quo, you’re going to lose,” he explained.
And Democrats aren’t just clinging to failed policies—they’re actively alienating everyday Americans with their condescending rhetoric.
“And then offending most people in the country, calling everybody sexist and racist and transphobic and every other name, and then saying, ‘Please follow us.’ That’s not a good strategy, folks,” Jones added.
In other words, the Democrats’ playbook of smearing half the country while pushing an out-of-touch agenda isn’t working—and even their own operatives are starting to admit it.
“Defending a broken status quo and offending most of the country turns out to not be as popular as my party thought it was going to be,” Jones concluded. “And so it’s going to take a while for people to get it figured out.”
Democrats “On Their Heels” as Trump Advances
Jones isn’t the only Democrat waving the white flag. Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) echoed his grim outlook during an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press, telling host Kristen Welker that Democrats have been “on their heels” since the election.
It’s a revealing confession from within the party’s own ranks. Despite their nonstop attacks on President Trump, the Democratic Party remains directionless, unable to mount a coherent opposition.
Meanwhile, President Trump continues to press forward with a bold, results-driven agenda—leaving Democrats scrambling to recover from their self-inflicted wounds. As long as their party remains in chaos, it’s clear Trump’s momentum isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
