Uh oh. What's happening with Van Jones calling the new Trump speech "more presidential "? Have they turned Van from Kunta Kente to "Toby"

There’s nothing better than when liberals eat their own.
Case in point, here’s Keith Olbermann going after CNN’s Van Jones because Jones dared to praise parts of Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress last night:
You mean if he keeps sending SEALs to their deaths in disastrous raids planned for his glory and then exploits the widow? You sold out, Van. https://t.co/vBZQXmFF84

Olbie was reacting to Jones saying Trump “became President of the United States in that moment” when he honored fallen Navy SEAL Ryan Owens:
"He became President of the United States in that moment. Period." @VanJones68 on Trump honoring a Navy SEAL's widow https://t.co/NrIBVZvgRT

Jone went on to predict that if Trump keeps up the tone of last night’s speech, he’ll be a two-term president:
.@VanJones68 on Trump's emotional moment: If he finds a way to keep doing that, "he's going to be there for 8 years" https://t.co/sWVszYjiuj

Olbermann wasn’t alone in his anger at Jones:
If you've been critical of Trump at every other turn but are praising last night's speech, you're a moron (looking at you, Van Jones)

I'm astonished that @VanJones68 got taken in like that. If generating applause for a grieving widow is "presidential," most of us could run.

Did they get to you, too, @VanJones68? https://t.co/M4UYqiYWxd

Not saying Jared Kushner got to Van Jones, but not-not saying it either. pic.twitter.com/yX9PZIcrTn

As for the heat Jones is taking from the left, the CNN commentator retweeted this .Gif of President Obama shrugging it off:

Olbermann’s entire post-speech rant here:
Trump used only euphemisms in his speech. It's a Muslim Ban and a Hispanic Purge, to terrify and break ALL of us pic.twitter.com/pI6XCsbiU8
