They’re really on CNN acting like Amber Rose just delivered a MLK JR or Obama like speach. Van Jones has the nerve to say she has a “political future.” They are so unserious.

“Can Van Jones please shut up,” another critic of Jones’ commentary posted with a GIF. “He’s so out of touch.”

Can Van Jones please shut up. He's so out of touch. This dude is praising Amber Rose as a political speaker & just referred to 50 Cent & his Many Men song as relatable to black voters. Can someone else please be "the black voice" on this CNN panel?? #CNN pic.twitter.com/r6JwWAJOjw

Republicans thought Amber Rose would make a significant impact on Black folks, but this is probably not what they had in mind. And Jones has demonstrated that he might not be in touch with the pulse of the Black community.
