Liberal CNN pundit Van Jones says Kamala ‘whooped’ ‘bully’ Trump as GOPer Christie calls for debate prep team to be ‘fired’: ‘He’s gonna lose election’
Liberal CNN pundit Van Jones was elated by Kamala Harris‘ debate against Donald Trump Tuesday in Philadelphia while anti-Trump Republican Chris Christie also praised the vice president.
Trump and Harris traded fiery jabs at the ABC News hosted contest, which drew viewer criticism for moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis’ refusal to fact check Harris.
Afterward, it was a complete 180-degree turn from the liberal media’s reaction to Joe Biden‘s debate disaster against Trump in Georgia in June, which led to the president exiting the race.
Jones, who called Biden’s June performance ‘painful’ and a failure, couldn’t hide his excitement over Harris’ jabs at Trump.
‘She whooped him, she just whooped him’, Jones said after his fellow liberals like David Axelrod lavished praise on Harris.

He then explained that Harris was fulfilling the role in fiction of ‘wish fulfillment’ in how she handled Trump.
‘People have wanted to see somebody put this bully in his place’, Jones said of the former president.
‘She got up there and she put him in his place. She baited him and then she spanked him’, he said, before laughing and repeating the statement again.
‘Not only did she pass the Commander-in-chief test, he failed it. Do you want this guy dealing with a dictator? You could see the punches coming, he just couldn’t get out of the way’.
Jones finished by claiming that Harris was speaking ‘for the people’ when talking about her ‘middle class background’ while Trump spoke ‘for himself’.
Chris Christie, the former two-term governor of New Jersey who unsuccessfully ran against Trump twice for the GOP nomination before eventually turning on the former president, also praised Harris and slammed Trump.
‘She was exquisitely well prepared, she laid traps and he chased every rabbit down every hole instead of talking about the things that he should’ve been talking about,’ Christie said on ABC News.
‘This is the difference between someone who is well prepared and someone who is unprepared’, he added, saying Trump was ‘gonna lose the election’.

Christie then slammed the Trump campaign for preparing him for the debate poorly.
‘Whoever did debate prep for Donald Trump should be fired, he was not good tonight at all’.
He said that Harris ‘looked like she belonged’ while Trump talked about ‘people eating pets’ and his rallies without mentioning enough about the economy.
‘I think what we’re going to see is people seeing Kamala Harris as a potential president. Donald Trump is going to have to get to work’.
I think that there’s been a desire – in fiction, there’s wish fulfillment.
While pro-Trump conservatives like CNN’s Scott Jennings have complained of the ABC News’ moderators bias, he admitted that there might have been no helping Trump.
‘It’s hard to complain about the refs when you can’t hit a jump shot’, Jennings remarked.
