Van Jones had another “He became President of the United States in that moment, period” moment on Twitter last night after he dared to praise President Donald Trump as “uniter-in-Chief” for the bipartisan FIRST STEP act:
Give the man his due: @realDonaldTrump is on his way to becoming the uniter-in-Chief on an issue that has divided America for generations. Congrats to everyone on both sides who fought for this. #FIRSTSTEPact #CriminalJusticeSummit #CriminalJusticeReform #justicereform #Trump https://t.co/G9kI1C3gXy

Gotta know your audience, Van, because your fellow liberal blue-checks don’t like this one bit:
Girl, what????

I love @VanJones68 but i disagree with this sentiment calling 45 "uniter in chief". If I get punched in the face 25 times by someone and then they stop for a few minutes and get me an ice pack, that doesn't make them a peaceful healer all of a sudden. He's not a "uniter" at all
