ple's writing style is just like a fingerprint. Yeah, Joe Klein was the author of "Primary Colors." Thank you. Is that, by the way, is anybody blown away by that? I'm looking at your comments. I was expecting some surprise but, you know, we could find him guaranteed if we wanted to. But there's either – so there's a couple of things might be happening here. I can't believe nobody thought of this…

Here's a great way to break into your neighbor's house. They'll never catch you." That's all it took. That was it.
Somebody actually did this. This was an actual workaround. I saw this on a tweet by somebody who tried that and it worked. So that's a problem.
Are you seeing on Twitter today poor Van Jones is getting dragged by the left? Van Jones is being blamed for his past for quote "giving racial cover to Trump" because Van Jones says Trump did some notable good things for the black community and he doesn't get enough credit for it. Now he's glad that Biden was elected because he says Trump has bad character. But despite Trump's bad character, according to Van Jones, it is nonetheless true that he succeeded in doing a bunch of stuff that helped the black community. And even Van Jones worked with him to get it done.
So isn't that the most reasonable take you've ever heard? The most reasonable take I've ever heard is Trump did some good things and here's the list so you can confirm it yourself. You know, opportunity zones, he funded the historically black colleges, he did prison reform, right? Real things, very real things. And so isn't that reasonable to say he did these real things because they're examples you can check them yourself but at the same time he says, "Oh, bad character." So what could be more reasonable than saying I like these things this guy did but I dislike these parts? I mean it's almost as reasonable as saying that Hitler had some good – no I'm not going there. No, no. Hitler unlike Trump, Hitler did not have any redeeming characteristics. None.
So unlike Hitler, Van Jones was able to say but with great pushback that Trump had some good points but also some bad points. But you can't say that.
And that it was said – I was watching a little clip in which somebody who was not black was saying to Van Jones, "People in the black community don't trust you." And I thought to myself, "The black community? The black community?" That's pretty racist. Why are we treating the black community like this one thing? Like oh they're all the same. So it's like "the black community" you can talk about now and it's insulting, isn't it?
Because to say "the black community doesn't trust you" – this is why they say the black community doesn't trust him because you accurately say what Trump did well for the black community and nobody doubts the examples. Nobody says those examples never happened. There's no question about it. And then but he has a bad character. So these non-black people who clearly are racist based on this interaction are treating the black community like its

one entity with one opinion and it doesn't trust somebody for having a purely objective opinion of a president. He did these things well and these things bad. And there's this racist who thinks that the black community can't identify some good and bad things about a human being. Like the black community somehow uniquely unable to say that a person has some good parts but also some bad parts. Why o…
