‘We Pushed All Our Rebels Out’: Van Jones Unloads On Dems Over Shoving RFK Jr., Musk, Rogan Away From Party

CNN’s Van Jones criticized Democrats this month for alienating prominent figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Elon Musk and Joe Rogan and turning them away from their party.

Kennedy, Musk and Rogan all endorsed President-elect Donald Trump in 2024 after previously backing Democratic candidates. Jones, at The New York Times’ DealBook Summit on Dec. 4, argued on video that these “rebels” now feel unwelcome in the Democratic Party. He urged Democrats to confront this issue openly.

“I hope the party takes a chance to look at the fact that we pushed all our rebels out of this party. We had a rebellion in our party in 2016; it was called Bernie Sanders. You had a rebellion in your party in 2016; it was called Donald Trump,” Jones said. “Your rebel won. Our rebel lost. And then since then, the rebels in our party have been pushed out. RFK was a rebel inside of our party. He wanted to run against Joe Biden fair and square, the DNC wouldn’t let him — pushed him out.”
