In a recent episode of "NewsNight," CNN political commentator Van Jones expressed concern over President Joe Biden's perceived detachment from reality.
This observation was made following Biden's interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC News.
According to Breitbart, Jones was asked to share his thoughts on the interview. He responded, "Look, the presidency, it turns out, is a speaking role. Youve gotta be able to talk. You got to be able to do interviews. You got to be able to give speeches. You gotta be able to debate. Its a speaking role."
Jones continued to elaborate on his point, emphasizing the importance of communication in the role of the presidency. He stated, "Yes, of course. they got to be able to make decisions behind closed doors. but thats thats the presidency is a special role. Its a speaking role. I thought today you saw more of the Biden that you could feel some confidence in because its just the typical a little soft, a little stumbling, mumbling, but nothing alarming, nothing that would panic."
However, Jones expressed concern over the discrepancy between Biden's public persona and his performance during significant campaign events. He noted, "The problem is when the biggest night at a campaign that guy was not on the stage. So I do think that today he did better. I do think over time that is useful. The problem that you have is that the stuff that he said about the campaign is just not factual."
Jones also highlighted a potential issue with Biden's perception of reality, particularly in relation to his campaign. He said, "What you love about Biden in general is that big heart and he cares but you dont want somebody whos detached from reality."
Jones further criticized Biden's refusal to acknowledge the reality of his campaign's situation. He stated, "You have to acknowledge some of the reality. I think the problem that you have the panic happening in the party is people think this guy has detached from reality, he has a guard of people around him. They wont tell him the truth and he just being stubborn."
Jones ended his commentary with a stark observation about Biden's handling of his campaign's challenges, stating, "He still is not dealing with the reality of how bad this is." This statement underscores the growing concern among some observers about Biden's ability to effectively lead and communicate as the President.
