CNN Panel Erupts as Anderson Cooper, Van Jones Clash With Rick Santorum Over His Defense of Trumps False Election Fraud Claims.CNNs Van Jones sparred with Rick Santorum in a wide-ranging panel discussion where the former Pennsylvania senator tried to claim voter suppression isnt a real phenomenon and that President Donald Trump hasnt smeared voters for cheating to defeat him. During the segment on Wednesday evening, Jones started out by attacking Republicans for pushing voter suppression policies.
I do think that what Im hearing over and over again are folks are feeling like there is a lot of voter suppression, Jones said. We feel like you guys dont want us to vote. You feel like there is a bunch of voter fraud and cheating going on. If were into voter suppression, we did a lousy job, because there was a record turnout, a smiling Santorum joked. When you have to wait in line for nine hours to vote, Jones noted, that is voter suppression.
First off, Trump is not accusing voters of cheating, Santorum claimed. He is looking at people within he is talking about people who are counting the votes. He is talking about the people who are in there doing -not applying the law way they should. Im not saying its right or wrong.
You can polish this turd all you want, Jones shot back.
