WATCH: The View Hosts Attack Van Jones for Working with Trump on Criminal Justice Reform

CNN’s Van Jones joined The View this week and was immediately attacked for having worked with Donald Trump on criminal justice reform when Trump was president.

“Now Van, you do spend a lot of time threading the middle and trying to unite people. But there are those who accuse you of being a political opportunist – a chameleon, so to speak – who provided racial cover for former, disgraced, twice-impeached President Trump,” said co-host Sunny Hostin. “Yet just recently you cried on CNN when Joe Biden was elected the 46th president, and you said it’s easier to be a parent now, character matters now, truth matters. You even mentioned George Floyd and said a lot of people felt they couldn’t breathe. People in the Black community don’t trust you anymore. What is your response?”

“I’m never going to apologise for putting the interest of people at the bottom first,” said Jones. “People need champions. Whoever is in that White House, you have a responsibility to go in there and advocate and try to get people home out of prison. I’m going to keep doing it, whoever is in that White House.”

“Sunny is right,” jumped in Ana Navarro. “You’ve lost a lot of people who trusted you and who saw you as a voice because of the positions you took during Trump… “How did you go from being this very principled critic of the Trump administration, as I was, to all of a sudden, being in the White House celebrating with them?”

Jones responded by saying he is proud of the work he did and has no regrets.
